Engine swap while on a Carnet de Passage
Dear competence team,
I was wondering, in what sort of document trouble I would run into, if I had to decide to swap the engine of my 4x4 while abroad on a Carnet de Passage
a) for the same type of engine
b) for a different, non-originally-built-for-that-car - engine
(does it matter?)
As the Carnet contains the engine number - and it seems, it´s usually checked by customs - I´d like to know
- how to change the carnet´s engine number to the new one officially. Is this done by local customs or by the issuer/owner of the carnet? Do I need "beyond repair/stolen"-documents, like those I´d need to dump a whole car on a carnet?
- how to get away with slamming the old number into the new engine?*
I´m fine with my 2.5Dn/a in the ´71 LR, but could think about (just in case of sudden death) swapping for a 200tdi or others, while in countries, where there are parts source able, is still a vibrant market for conversion kits and workshops are sort of used to do such conversions on low bucks/hour.
Kind regards
J
