Engine number

Engine number (“identification letters” and “serial number”) is en‐

graved on the flange between the engine and the transmission.
The engine number comprises a maximum nine digits (alphanu‐

merical). The first part (max. of three identification letters) repre‐

sents the “the engine ID letters”; the second part (six characters)

represents the “serial number”. If more than 999,999 engines are

manufactured under the same identification letters, the first digit

of the 6-digit group is replaced by a letter.
Additionally a sticker is found on the upper cover of the mechan‐

ical distribution system -arrow- with the “engine identification

letters” and the “serial number”.
The “engine identification letters” are also indicated on the vehicle

data plate.

Removal - indications

Note

Check whether vehicle has code radio, if so obtain the anti-theft

code before disconnecting earth lead from battery.

– The engine is removed downwards, along with transmission.

WARNING

For installation jobs, especially in the engine compartment, due

to reduced existing space, consider the following:

♦ All hoses (fuel, hydraulics, activated charcoal filter sys‐

tem, cooling fluid and gas, brake fluid, vacuum) and elec‐

tric cables must be restored to original positions.

♦ Provide easy access to all the moving or hot parts.

– With ignition switched off, disconnect battery earth lead.
– All cable ties that open or break during engine removal should

be replaced and installed at the same locations when engine

is installed.

– Release the supply and return hoses in the cylinder head.

WARNING

♦ The fuel and the fuel system hoses may be very hot (burn

risk)!

♦ Fuel system is under pressure!
♦ Use protective gloves and goggles when performing any

repairs on the fuel system!

– Remove connecting pipe between intercooler and intake con‐

necting flange.
