Engine: Application and ID


Engine number





The engine number (engine code letters and serial number) is located on the left side of the cylinder block (arrow).
Additionally there is a sticker on the cylinder head cover with the engine number.
The engine number consists of up to nine characters (alphanumeric). The first part (maximal 3 characters) makes up the "engine code", and the second part (6 characters), the "serial number". If more than 999,999 engines with the same engine code are produced, the first of the six characters is replaced with a letter.





The engine code is also included on the vehicle data plate.

Note: The engine code is also found on the front engine lifting (visible after removing the top engine cover).
