Hi

Not having the van here, can I find out if I have an AAZ engine from the chasis number or anything?

Should be noted on your log book, eg, DG166900

Look under engine number,,,,,,,

It's a german import and has not been registered yet, I have to do that now. All the paperwork in German, I'm having a look now. Its not on my mot anywhere is it?

Just looked at mine and I think the answer is 'No' unfortunately. Can you get at the V5 logbook? Its printed on the paper data sheet stuck on the bulkhead just below the steering wheel aswell as the actual engine but that's not much help if the van's elsewhere. Can't you phone someone who can look in the van for you?

The engine number is not directly quoted on the German papers (both Parts) but there are some codes - look at fields 5, 6 & 7 of the Fahrzeugbrief (it should be the big one).

Oh, thats cool I'll try at get someone to have a look.

Cheers guys

I have a long number thats WV2ZZZ25ZLH026547 but I think thats the chasis number and not the engine code.

I just wanted to see if I HAD THE BETTER ENGINE OR NOT REALLY, opps sorry about the caps

They may not be fields 5,6 & 7, you could have the new "Zulassungsbescheinigung" which also comes in two parts.
Look on the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II (the big one) and in fields P1 through P4.
If you print them here we'll tell you what you should have for a motor.

cool under P.1 it's got 1589 and P.2 and P.4 it has 51 / 4500. P.3 just says Diesel.

You have a 1598cc Diesel Engine that produces 51Kw @ 4500 rpm.

So there's a good chance that it is a JX coded 1.6 Turbo.

Ah would it be AF 146 977, or AF A46 977, it's been hand written on the bottom under a heading Fahrz - Brief Nr......................Einezogen

Are cool thanks for your help mate

So thats not as good as the AAZ engine I have been reading about then, oh well.

I am not 100% about it being a JX, I have a JX but on my papers it is down as 1570cc.

But it is probably the same engine as mine, if you look after it
(i.e. don't thrash it, change the oil and filter regularly) it'll last approx. 250,000 kms (mine did).

Great thanks

I'm taking it to my garage soon for them to do a full service and I get some tips for looking after it.

Have a good day
