G8DB 10JB 1.6 TDI

The G8DB 10JB 1.6 TDI 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: This diesel favors low-rpm torque and fuel efficiency over top-end power, well suited to towing, hauling, and long-distance driving, with servicing centered on regular oil and fuel-filter changes rather than high-revving use. The turbocharger adds real mid-range punch over a naturally aspirated equivalent, but makes oil quality, proper warm-up, and a turbo cooldown before shutdown more important. Before fitment, we recommend a compression test, oil/coolant inspection, and a visual check of the timing components, mounts and seals.

Common Applications: This engine code is associated with the G8DB 10JB 1.6 TDI 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.
