Getting an OM605 to fit into a 190d (w201)
Getting an OM605 to fit into a 190d (w201)
There is one other person I know of in Australia who has fitted one of these into a W201 & he seemed to have an unusual amount of trouble making it fit, the sump fouled the cross member so he had to cut & weld that (I'd have modded the sump instead) & the engine sat too high in the engine bay, the bonnet(hood) wouldn't shut, he ended up having custom engine mounts made which lowered the engine & moved it forward, but he put his into a 180e (Australian market w201 with 1.8 litre petrol engine).
Should there be any real trouble making this fit into a 190d 2.5?
In a couple of months my OM605 should be arriving, anything I need to know about making this fit in a 190d 2.5?

but it should fit just fine. After all are some production 190 with it installed.
After saying that, it depends on transmission you are using. You might have to modify/alter driveshafts length..

I have 190 D with 2.2 in it. I don't see while would be any problem. The 2.5 is one cylinder longer

W201 is W201, the 180e and 190e are mostly the same. I would wonder about the first set of motor mount arms he used, since the turbo 602 fits fine with its crossover pipe. Same with the oil sump, the 602 does not have much of a notch in the pan for clearing the swaybar, although it is there.
Swapping this engine is a 1 hour job, easiest you can do

Yeah, that's what I thought, I figured it should nearly be a straight swap, I'm not sure why he had so much trouble unless the smaller petrol 4cyls use a different crossmember? In which case he could have saved himself an enormous amount of trouble by just getting the cross member from a 190d.

I did today the job, putting an om605 into a w201 1.8 1990. I used the om605 mounting arms and the 1.8 190 mountings. But the problem is that one side of the mountingarm will not fit the mounting ?!?!? And I saw that my engine is too high.
I tried to fix the 1.8 190 mounting arms but they don't fit to the om605 engine. Because the is a different between 3bolts (w201) and 4 bolts (w202)
Who can help me out, I can't finish the job now.
