V70 D5 Engine Swap
Hi All,
Its been a long time since I posted on here, but back in a V70 after a few years away. Anyway bought a 2004 D5 a few weeks back, problem is my wife smashed it up last week (write-off). Its currently in my garage awaiting breaking.
Now I just happened on eBay to spot a 2003 D5 that has had the engine go pop, I may be able to get the car for a good price and swap the good engine from mine.
Question is...is this a pig to do, do I have to worry about the ECU on the old car recognising my new engine? Can I do this on the drive without a 4 post lift?
Thoughts, I have the payout on my car...if I could pick up this motor for a couple of hundred I would be quids in.
Regards,
James
