| The engine number („Engine code“ and „Serial number“) can be found on the left side of the join between engine and gearbox. |
| The engine number consists of up to nine characters (alphanumeric). The first part (3 identification letters max.) makes up the „engine code“; and the second part (6 characters) the „serial number“. If more than 999,999 engines with the same engine identification letters are produced, the first of the six characters is replaced with a letter. |
| In addition, a label with the „engine code“ and the„serial number“ has been attached to the toothed belt protector. |
| The engine codes can also be found on the vehicle data sticker. |
| Vehicles with four-digit engine codes |
| Starting with the letter „C“ four-digit engine codes are now being used. The first 3 positions describe the mechanical structure of the engine and appear, as they have done to date, engraved on the engine. The fourth position digit describes the engine power and torque and depends on the engine control unit. The four-digit engine codes are given on the type plate of the manufacturer, the vehicle data plate and the engine control unit. |
Note | Vehicles for some countries do not have a manufacturer type plate. Assembly points for the vehicle data plate and the manufacturer type plate → Booklet |
