BMW X2 xDrive18d Engine Supply and Fit in Dartford and Kent

If your BMW X2 xDrive18d engine has failed, lost power or needs major work, our team can supply and fit a reconditioned, used or rebuilt B47 engine. For Kent drivers, our workshop is a short drive across the Dartford Crossing.

All-Wheel-Drive X2, Same Proven 150hp B47 Diesel Engine

The X2 xDrive18d (F39) combines BMW's 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel with xDrive all-wheel drive and an 8-speed Steptronic gearbox. Its B47 engine produces 150hp (110kW) and is listed under engine code B47C20B. The same engine family is used in the front-wheel-drive sDrive18d and the BMW X1 F48 xDrive18d, but ancillaries, mountings and software can differ between them. We match every replacement to your registration, not just the model name.

More Engine Options Than a Main Dealer Route

Choosing an independent specialist gives you reconditioned, used and rebuilt engines to choose from, so you can pick an option that suits your budget and the car's value. We explain what each one includes before you decide.

Every Job Starts With Proper Fault Diagnosis

Loss of power on an X2 18d xDrive isn't always an engine failure. A blocked DPF, a failing turbo or an EGR fault can cause similar symptoms. We find the real cause first, so you don't pay for an engine you didn't need.

These are the engine jobs we carry out most often on the X2 xDrive18d. Each one begins with an inspection and a clear quote, and no work starts until you've agreed to it.

Replacement Engine Supply and Fit

When a B47 has suffered major internal damage, a replacement engine is usually the most practical answer. We source a compatible 150hp unit, transfer or renew the ancillaries, and fit it at our workshop. The all-wheel-drive components are carefully disconnected and refitted during the swap. The car then gets fresh oil, filters and coolant, followed by a fault-code check and a road test. Your BMW X2 xDrive18d engine supply and fit quote includes both the engine and the labour.

Reconditioned BMW X2 xDrive18d Engines

Each reconditioned BMW X2 xDrive18d engine is stripped down, cleaned and inspected before its worn parts are renewed. Depending on what the inspection finds, that can include the timing chain and guides, bearings, piston rings, gaskets and seals, and the cylinder head and crankshaft are checked too. The engine is then built back to specification and tested before it goes into your car. If you plan to keep your all-wheel-drive X2, a reconditioned unit gives you a dependable fresh start without the cost of a brand-new engine. It also comes with our 6-month warranty.

Used and Low-Mileage xDrive18d Engines

A used BMW X2 xDrive18d engine is often the most affordable option. We source low-mileage 150hp units and check each one for oil condition, leaks and signs of overheating before supply. A compatible engine can come from the X2 or the X1 xDrive18d, and sometimes from an sDrive18d once the ancillaries and software have been confirmed. Every used engine we fit is covered by our 6-month warranty.

Engine Rebuilds

When the damage is limited, rebuilding your own engine can be the better-value route. We strip the B47, measure wear, find out why it failed and quote only for the parts it needs. A BMW X2 xDrive18d engine rebuild keeps the original unit in your car. If the rebuild cost gets close to the cost of a replacement, we'll tell you so you can make the right call.

Timing Chain Replacement

The B47's timing chain is mounted at the gearbox end of the engine, so replacing it normally means taking the engine out. On an xDrive model, that also means working around the all-wheel-drive components. A rattle on cold start or chain-related fault codes are the usual warning signs. We replace the chain, guides and tensioner as a set and check the timing before handing the car back.

Turbo Replacement

Loss of power, whistling, smoke or limp mode can all mean the turbo on your X2 xDrive18d is failing. Turbo damage is often linked to oil supply problems or contamination, so we check the feed and return lines and the oil condition before fitting a new unit. That helps the replacement turbo last and protects the rest of the engine.

DPF, EGR and Head Gasket Faults

The X2 xDrive18d relies on regular DPF regeneration. Frequent short trips can stop a regeneration from finishing, which leads to a blocked filter, warning lights and loss of power. EGR faults can cause similar symptoms. Coolant loss, overheating or white smoke may instead point to a head gasket problem or a leaking EGR cooler. We test properly before repairing anything, so the right fault gets fixed.

Our West Thurrock workshop (RM20 4EL) sits just north of the Dartford Crossing, close to Dartford, Bluewater and Swanley. Drivers from Gravesend, Sevenoaks and Maidstone can reach us easily via the A2 and M25.

Getting Your X2 Across to Our Workshop

If your car is driveable, book a drop-off and come across via the Dartford Crossing. The crossing charge is paid separately through Dart Charge. If the engine has failed or the car isn't safe to drive, call us to discuss how to get it to the workshop. We keep you updated at every stage of the job.

6-Month Warranty on Reconditioned and Used Engines

Reconditioned and used BMW X2 xDrive18d engines that we supply and fit carry a 6-month warranty. If a covered fault appears within that period, contact us and we'll inspect the car and talk you through the next steps. Ask for the full terms before booking.
