Engine number
Engine number
   
The engine number (“code letters” and “serial number”) can be found at the joint between engine and gearbox -arrow-.
The engine number consists of up to nine characters (alphanumeric). The first part (maximum 3 characters) makes up the “engine code”, and the second part (6 characters), the “serial number”. If more than 999,999 engines were produced with the same code letters, the first of the six digits is replaced by a letter.
In addition, there is a sticker on the toothed belt guard with “engine code” and “serial number”.
The engine codes are also included on the vehicle data plate.
