C2 1.6 Diesel

The C2 1.6 Diesel is a 1.6L, inline-4 diesel engine supplied by Tovesageneral Motors as a tested, used replacement unit. It is sourced, inspected and prepared to give buyers a dependable factory-spec alternative to new-engine pricing, with fitment matched to the BMW model range indicated in the listing. Every engine passes through our workshop for a visual and mechanical check before it is listed, so what you receive reflects genuine running condition rather than an untested pull from a scrapyard.

Key Specifications: Configuration - Inline-4, 1.6L displacement. Valvetrain - DOHC, 16-valve. Fuel System - Diesel injection (direct or indirect depending on model year). Aspiration - Turbocharged, intercooled. Power Output - exact factory figures vary by model year, market and transmission pairing; a workshop reference or VIN-based lookup is recommended to confirm the rated horsepower and torque for your specific application rather than relying on a single published number. Condition - used, sourced from a donor vehicle and inspected prior to listing.

Performance Highlights: As a diesel unit it prioritises low-rpm torque and fuel efficiency over high-rpm power, making it well suited to towing, load-carrying and long-distance running, with a service interval that typically favours regular oil and fuel-filter changes over high-revving use. Forced induction adds meaningful mid-range punch over a naturally aspirated equivalent of the same displacement, though it also raises the importance of oil quality, warm-up habits and turbo-cooldown before shutdown. We recommend a compression test, oil/coolant inspection and a visual check of the timing components, mounts and seals before fitment.

Common Applications: This engine code is associated with the C2 1.6 Diesel range as listed, and in many cases the same base engine was shared across several BMW model years, body styles and even neighbouring brands under badge-engineering arrangements. Please confirm the exact engine code stamped on the block, the year of your vehicle, and the ECU/wiring variant against our compatibility notes before ordering to guarantee a correct fit, and feel free to contact our team with your VIN for a fitment check prior to purchase.
