Engine Code - VW .455

Post by Autosleeper12 »

My first post and probably a good place to start is to try and find out what replacement engine is in my 1985 Autosleeper 1.9 petrol. Where the engine code would normally be is stamped VW (in a small circle) followed by .455 It was fitted by a garage under the previous owner in 1996 and any info about the type and origin of the engine greatly appreciated as there is no other info available.

Welcome to the Club :ok

The engine's a VW rebuild ... normally the 1.9 would have DF or DG as a prefix. :wink:
