where the hell is the engine code

[saviogimmi]

looked at the wiki, but the pic only shows a close up, where should i be looking. cos ive looked everywhere!!!!!!
Its a 1.6 diesel

Between and below injector numbers 3 and 4.

[damongrounsell]

i found it between injector pumps 1-2, its stamped into the metal and hard to read if there is rust but its just a serial number
a mechanic will need to know if its a 1.6td jx engine or ky or the other one they fitted to the t25 so they can order the correct bits

[saviogimmi]

if its just a serial number how will i know what engine it is???

The serial numbers are alpha-numeric - the letters are the prefix and engine type. That's how it works for petrol ones anyway..............

Works the same for clean Burn Heavy Oil Burners aswell--------------------

Now i'm really confused, got the van back from its mot today, and the mechanic recons its not a 1.6 diesel, it bigger. so i look for the engine code as described here, and find 1.9 d stamped where i was meant to look. Does this mean i have 1y.

Anyone??????

have a look for a sticker on the top of the cambelt cover...this has the number on it .if its not there then you wil have to have a good look where was said earlier but i found on mine the numbers were half gone..but the ones i could read tallied up with the sticker on the cover.

good luck
