What is the difference between the M30B34 and other M30 engines?

The M30B34 makes 160 kW (218 HP) and 310 Nm. The other M30 engines are: M30B35 with 155 kW (211 HP) and 305 Nm (1982 to 1993).

Engines in one family share a basic block, but the turbo, the injection, the sensors and the engine computer can differ. A higher power version often has different pistons, a bigger turbo or a different fuel system.

This is why we ask for the exact code. Fitting a different version can work, but the wiring, the software and sometimes the gearbox must be changed to match.
