Vw caddy maxi 2.0 tdi 140bhp 2009
68000 miles bmm engine code
it broke the crankshaft & cracked the
block for no reason - serviced right not low
On oil so don't know why.
Looked all over for a bmm engine
Which I could not find. So on advice
From vw ireland and car dismantlers
Was told that a bkd should fit in place.

However received bkd engine yesterday
Which is really clean and good looking
Engine. But turbo and Manifold are in totally
Different positions and some point the wrong
Way.
Would it work if we tried to pipe these to make fit
are or we just going to hit block Wall regards to
ecu etc etc.
I am told that the bottom half is the
Same on both but this is also not 100
And if I take apart a good engine and does not
Match can't send back.

What should I do any advise would be great.

I would love to put the bkd engine into
It but my mechanic thinks this is almost
Impossible ( but others who are not doing
The job said it will work and would do however
Van is in garage taken apart )
What I have read here is the bkd is good
And the bmm is bad.
I don't want to spend loads of money
On it and then have more crap after.

What you think.

I have exactly the same van, 2008 77k and my camshaft has just snapped!

I have quotes for a remanufactured BMM engine for £2800+Vat

How are you getting along with it?

I was advised by our mechanic not to try any other parts/engines as parts rarely match up.

If you do a google search for 'vw snapped crankshaft' it would seem this is a very common problem on PD140 engines about this mileage.
