Linde (& Baker) H 45 D:
Identifying vw/Audi engine in truck HELP!!!

Hoping someone can help here and fast. Long story short I'm an Englishman working in Norway as a mechanic in a large concrete works.
I have a linde H45D with a broken crankshaft so I'm trying to source another engine to drop in. I understand from what I've read and learnt that the engine is a standard 1.9 engine from a vw/Audi.
But which model... We have a local scrap yard here that would potentially be able to supply us with an engine and they've told us we just need to give them the engine code.
I've search low and high and can't find anything on the block apart from there serial numbers

038103373E or 038AN80HBH V1600

Now this last number has made me
Wonder is it actually a 1.9... Or a 1.6. But I can't believe it is and I'm hoping someone on here can say the model engine I have in our truck so we can get it back out into use as soon as possible.

I've also been told 3 engine codes which possibly may be our engine. Maybe you can confirm this?
AHF 81kw
ALH 66kw
AGR 66kw

But this has been given to me so not my information and I'm not sure whether it's correct or not.

Thanks in advance and look forward to your replies.

Nearly 100% sure your engine is 4 cylinder VW CBJB, 1968 cc.
Perhaps it's worthwhile to repair it.
The crankshaft has VW part No VW038105021AE.

I know your deepest secret fear...

Thank you a lot for the information and that's answered many questions regarding the engine.

My thoughts have always been to rebuild the engine and I can do that myself so many the next route would be to gutt the engine and source some parts. Like any big company they are looking for the cheapest option.

Will see how I get on and once again cheers for the help.

Hi Multiblokk,

Full truck model and serial number would be very helpful.

With the info you have supplied, the engine type could be :-
BEQ or BXT or BEU or BJC.
The only way to find the correct motor is with the engine number ( the number you supplied was only the cylinder head ID )
These engines do match up to VW BORA,POLO,GOLF and BEETLE.

I would not try to fit an engine from a car, you will have many problems with the engine sensors location also missing sensors ( not fitted ).

The best way forward would be to get yours rebuilt or fit a new correct motor ( rebuilt is the best price option ).

You will need Linde Pathfinder to set up the engine and truck on completion of the repair.

The usual cause for crank failure in this manner could be engine to transmission coupling failure or impact through the engine by using the truck for pushing with high impact on truck direction changes.
