Hello, first post…

I bought a 2010 TD4.e in GS spec from Copart… it unfortunately arrived with the starter hanging off and a large hole in the block behind it! Needless to say I’ve not tried to start it.

I’m looking for recommendations that you’ve personally used (preferably in the North West) to rebuild/remanufacture the engine for me as most places will not just sell a short engine.

Thanks in advance

I think it’s to late for that engine I would be looking for maybe a second hand engine. Welcome to the forum.

Hi sorry to see such damage, looking at the photo it would appear that number four con rod has either :-

A) Come adrift/loose from the big end cap
b) The con rod has snapped
C) The timing belt has failed causing that valves to hit he piston and bend then break the con rod.

I have seen all these different scenarios, Whatever, has caused it the damage to the engine block is in my opinion terminal and a repair is not a practical or viable. It is difficult to see from the photo but have you checked the gear box case for damage where the starter motor bolts on if the con rod has hit the starter motor it may have caused damage in this area to.

This particular power unit was used in the second generation TD4 engines was designed by the PSA Peugeot Citroёn group together with the Ford Motor Company and they were in production since 2005. The volume of 4-cylinder inline engine was 2.2 litres, their power was 150 hp so there should be pleanty of replacement out there.

Get a second hand replacement engine. No engine reconditioning company will want yours, as it's just scrap value.
You might however be better off scrapping the vehicle for parts, as a good replacement engine will cost you 50% of the market value of the vehicle. Unfortunately being a GS model makes it less desirable, and so worth less to a potential buyer.

I don't know how much you paid, but I for an example, I paid £2K for my immaculate 119K miles 58 plate SE, with a damaged piston and cylinder head. I put another £1K into it in parts, but that included a home rebuilt stronger replacement rear diff, a replacement piston, a low mileage (9K) 2014 cylinder head, and new brakes all round, oh and 1 odd tyre was replaced, giving a matching set.
I've now got a nice condition SE, where everything works, which should see me through the next few years motoring.
But just as importantly, if I wanted to sell it, it's currently worth about £4.5K in my local marketplace, so I'm pretty happy with my purchase. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

Many thanks for the replies. I agree that a full engine is required, some re conditioners have said they’d take the old on but retain between £100 and £300 of the surcharge due to the damaged block. A place in Shropshire has full second hand engines so I might get one of these and then refresh everything I can whilst its out the car such as the belts, water pump etc..

It was a very cheap car but its destined to be a cheaper run around than my G4 vehicles so its still worth investing in.
