Engine: Application and ID

Engine number





The engine number ("engine code" and "serial number") are located next to the vibration damper on the cylinder block.

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.

Additionally there is a sticker on the intake manifold with "engine code" and "serial number".
The engine code is additionally included on the vehicle data plate.
