On the 2.4L engine the engine code (4 digits) and the engine serial number (2 letters for the year and month and 5 figures for the serial number) are stamped in the cylinder block on the exhaust side (in line with cylinder No. 4).
If the engine or cylinder block is changed, the vehicle identification number must be stamped in the indicated location.
The engine identification plate is located on the cover of the timing cover. It contains the following data:
- date and time of manufacture
- engine part number
Engine management
Visteon
Engine emission control
Meets emission standard Stage IV
Electrical Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve with water cooling
Diagnostics
Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS)

Oil pressure line to the centrifugal oil filter
The 140 PS version of the 2.4L Duratorq-TDCi (Puma) diesel engine has a centrifugal oil filter.
The oil from the oil pan is pumped into the rotor via an additional pressure line installed on the outside of the engine block. Inside the rotor is a pivot axis with two outlet openings on opposite sides.
The oil pressure and the shape of the rotor cause this pivot axis to turn, forcing the oil in the rotor outwards. The centrifugal force presses the particles floating in the oil (contamination) against the outer wall of the rotor, where they form a solid mass.
The oil in the rotor is filtered in this manner and then flows back into the oil circuit.
The centrifugal oil filter can even catch small particles of dirt that cannot be filtered using normal oil filters. This increases the service life of the oil.
Oil level/temperature sensor (140 PS version only)

Oil level/temperature sensor
An oil level/temperature sensor located on the front of the engine directly beside the engine oil dipstick is provided for the service interval indicator.
A wire coil that is fitted inside the sensor and continuously supplied with current is used to measure the oil level.
The resistance of the wire coil changes according to how deeply the sensor is immersed in the oil. The measurement values are registered by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The change in the voltage drop serves as an input variable for calculating the oil level.
The oil temperature is sensed simultaneously via the integrated temperature sensor. The temperature is used as a corrective factor in the calculation.
The PCM calculates the next oil change on the basis of an integrated strategy (which also takes into consideration the mileage and engine operating conditions) and displays it in the instrument panel.
In addition, a separate indicator in conjunction with a corresponding message in the instrument cluster display warns the driver when the oil quantity falls below the minimum level.
Service instruction
The interval indicator must be reset after an oil change on all vehicles with a diesel engine.
In the case of the 103 kW (140 PS) version it must be ensured that the vehicle is standing on a flat surface.
