i have a mk1 berlingo (i know this is mk2 forum btw please read on) its suffering some bad eletrical problems and the BSI caught on fire. I've been offered a 54 plate mk2 berlingo with a blown engine, my question is are there much difference between the two. i dont have the engine number for the mk2 yet but the mk1 van has a dw8 engine (I think) its a 2000 1.9D engine number DXCB4028404. I dont have the details of the mk2 just yet but really hope someone says "yes that'll fit no probs" bearing in mind cant change the ECU because the BSI caught on fire. that i think is my only problem.
Thanks All

How badly damaged is your original Bsi? is it a small area or a connection etc?
It might be repairable if you have another Bsi to rob bits from. :thumbsup:

ok short of it. how difficult is it to put a dw8 engine into a van originally designed for a dw8b? can i just change the block or are there any other things i need to change?

thanks both for that, regarding the old BSI, it's probably pointless even if i where to get that working i still got the headache of finding the original problem if there is one. In theory if i where to change just the bottom and head on the mk2 from my mk1 it would work right? the pump, downpipe, gearbox or drive shafts, inlet manifold, radiator, power steering pump, water pump, etc would bolt onto the engine from the mk1?
