Engine: Application and ID
Engine identification
The engine code -arrow- ("engine code" and "production number") are located on the left side, on the cylinder head.
In addition, a sticker containing "engine code" and "production number" is placed on the cylinder head.
The engine identification consists of up to nine characters (alphanumeric). The first portion (maximum 3 characters) represents the "engine code", the second portion (six characters) represents the serial number. If more than 999 999 engines were produced under the same code, 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 (arrow) is also stamped in at the front of the engine lifting eye (visible after removing cover above fuel injectors).
