Hi, FL2 My 2013 with likely failed engine.

Can I drop in ANY 2.2 TD4 engine or do they differ by year?

Seemingly more older ones about

Many thanks

There are differences to between different DW12s, depending on the original vehicle it was installed in. However an engine from a Freelander is a direct swap. 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.

Don't forget that pre 2011 models didn't have a DPF so probably quite a few subtle differences with injectors, air intake and ECU and mapping etc to get the emissions right. If you are going to replace the engine I would go for something as near as possible to the one coming out. Good luck. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Yes this has a DPF, will change anything else over that I need to. Didn't know if basic engine was different, as DPF after the engine.

One other thing the post 2013 cars were different to the earlier models as they incorporated a lot of stuff from the Evoque as the FL2 was being phased out and common systems (mechanical and electrical) were included in the manufacturing process. I take it you are talking about a manual gearbox? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Bit of a thread resurrection but I'm interested to hear if anything came of this?

I'm in the same boat, halfway up poo creek and the paddle is about to fall in the water
Bought a 64 plate non runner and from what I understood engines were the same, just ancillarys are different, bought an earlier engine and there are some physical differences.
Most important one being the later blocks have a water cooled turbo, and have a different block casting to accommodate the feed pipe tapping.


Later block with pipe near core plug


Earlier block with no pipe

Also the later engines have a different crank trigger wheel, crankshaft, flywheel and clutch, and lower compression ratio.
Now, I have read somewhere else about someone tapping into a heater hose to get around the water feed, but not sure what running a higher compression ratio would do...
I'm looking for a later correct block but have this one sitting, and I'm wondering if anyone has swapped late for early and how it went? In theory higher compression could mean higher power
