Engine: Application and ID

Engine Number

Four digit engine codes were introduce in Model Year (MY) 2008. The first three digits describe the mechanical structure of the engine and are still stamped on the engine, as before. The fourth digit describes the engine output and depends on the Engine Control Module (ECM). The four digit engine code is on the type plate, the vehicle data label and the ECM.

The engine number ("engine code" and "serial number") are located at the engine/transmission joint - arrow -.






In addition, a sticker with the "engine code" and "serial number" is affixed to the toothed belt guard.

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

The engine number consists of up to nine alphanumeric characters. The first part (maximum 4 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.
