Engine Number
Engine number
The engine number - arrow - ("engine code" and "serial number") are located on left of cylinder block.
In addition, a sticker with "engine code" and "serial number" is affixed to cylinder head cover.
The engine number consists of up to nine characters (alphanumeric). The first part (maximum 3 letters) represents the "engine code", the second (six digit) is 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 - arrow - is also stamped at front engine lifting eyelet (visible after removing cover over fuel injectors).
