What is the difference between the M52B25 and other M52 engines?

The M52B25 makes 125 kW (170 HP) and 245 Nm. The other M52 engines are: M52B28 with 142 kW (193 HP) and 280 Nm (1995 to 2000).

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.

Not sure? Send us your VIN and your gearbox code. We match the engine family, the year window and the parts on the engine before anything is reserved, and the check is free.
