Buying and fitting advice
- Match the suffix and injection type — DW12TED4 and later DW12 BlueHDi variants use different hardware.
- Exchange basis with a £350 surcharge refunded on return of your old engine.
- Van applications work hard: fit new filters, oil pump and belt/chain kit as part of the job.
- Check the intercooler and turbo pipework for debris before starting a new engine.
