Identify the engine before comparing offers
Use 2KD-FTV as the quotation identifier, not just “2KD” or “D-4D”. MANN’s application catalogue records 2KD-FTV separately; the 2.5-litre reference is an identity aid, not proof of the donor vehicle or compatibility.
Photograph the engine identifier and describe the destination-market vehicle. If you need the injection system, turbocharger, ECU or wiring, name each item in the purchasing list. An engine-only price should not be read as a complete diesel installation package.
Define engine and gearbox scope
Specify engine only or engine + gearbox, and whether you need a complete engine or a long block. These descriptions can mean different included parts: list the required accessories separately. AT/MT and 2WD/4WD are verification fields, not a guarantee that a gearbox is included or compatible.
Ask for evidence for each offered unit
Request photographs of the actual identifier, engine and included parts, plus visible defects. Ask what inspection, compression-test information or running video is available for those units. Each engine needs its own confirmation, even when several units have the same code; mileage, test results and warranty terms are confirmed only when supported and agreed.
Prepare a quotable wholesale request
- Full engine code and quantity per configuration
- Vehicle model/year; VIN or chassis number if available
- Destination country and port
- AT/MT and 2WD/4WD, or explicitly “to confirm”
- Engine only or engine + gearbox; gearbox identifier if available
- Complete engine/long block and required accessories
Compare packing and quotation scope
For FOB or CIF requests, identify the loading port or destination port and ask for an itemised transport scope. Confirm packing, loading and any included freight separately. Availability is dynamic; a quote validity period does not reserve stock.
