What is the difference between the N47D20C and other N47 engines?

The N47D20C makes 135 kW (184 HP) and 380 Nm. The other N47 engines are: N47D20A with 130 kW (177 HP) and 350 Nm (2007 to 2012).

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.
