Important!
Currently, three different versions of V6 DOHC petrol engines are available, which can be distinguished from one another by different, modified cylinder blocks, oil pump housing and toothed belt cover and cannot be combined with one another.
Notice:
In future, only the current version (as of MY '99) will still be available for Aftersales.
However, if, for example, for a vehicle (MY '97) the cylinder block must be replaced by an Aftersales cylinder block (MY '99), then according to the Service Instructions the "old" engine number from MY '97 must be transferred onto the "new" Aftersales cylinder block (MY '99). Thus, at subsequent repair operations, the Aftersales cylinder block could not be identified as MY '99 but would be assigned to MY '97 due to the engine number.
