2002 D4d Avensis Melted Piston

[Park]

My 2002 2.0 D4D avensis (old shape) recently melted a piston and the engine is beyond repair. I was told that the corolla engine may fit the older avensis. The reason for the question is that avensis' from that age are all high mileage but I know of a 2004-2005 genuine low mileage corolla engine but just not sure if it would fit? Any advice is appreciated.

I'm sure a mod will move this thread to a more appropriate sub forum for you where you may get better answers :)

A technical sub forum may have been better tho!

Don't know many Corolla owners that have done an engine swap into an Avensis!

Thought that you "Corolla Boys" could chew it over and offer the benefit of your vast experience to Park :P ;)

Well the engine bay would be big enough to house a Corolla engine but as for everything else involved with an engine swap i have no idea.

But... there is a Corolla T Sport engine on eBay.... Avensis T Sport maybe?? :D

I say go for a big V8!

its the same engine so yes, you may need to swap a few ancilliaries and have the injectors coded into the ecu. what caused the piston melt down?

Lack of a V8.....

Mechanic believes it was a faulty injector and fed too much diesel in until piston finally melted. Not 100% sure as injector is damaged as well. Not sure if it was bad diesel or just wear and tear
