| The engine number (“engine code” and “serial number”) is located on the left at the joint separating engine/gearbox. |
| The engine number consists of up to nine digits (alphanumeric). The first part (a maximum of 3 identification letters) represents the “engine code”, the second (the six part section) the “serial number”. If more than 999.999 engines with the same engine code were produced then the first digit of the six part section will be replaced by a letter. |
| In addition, a sticker with the “engine identification characters” and “serial number” is affixed to the timing belt guard. |
| The engine identification characters are also indicated on the vehicle data sticker. |
