Re: Diesel engine number location
On top edge of block between injector pump and vacuum pump. But is usually totally illegible. I would leave well alone - mine has only the first two letters readable the rest have disintegrated into rust. I know that mine has had a different engine fitted but as the first two letters tie up it is not worth persuing.

Re: Diesel engine number location
Someone else will be able to help on this but I think that that is a VW replacement engine no.

Re: Diesel engine number location
I would have thought that it was just a direct replacement for the original most probably done by the VW dealer/garage.

You Engine code relates to the Golf Diesl Block its not a JX block Codes for the Golf upto 1992 were JP -ME -JR -MF. 1.6D,
also upto 1992 Engine codes for 1.6TD block RA - SB were fitted to the Passat -Audi 80 -90. Early Galaxy.
Hope this info is of help to you.---------------------
