Q. Where do i find a "engine code" to buy the right parts. If theres neway in which to find it without rippin the engine to pieces il b EXtremly happy.
Answers:
The engine serial number is different to the VIN/Chassis number. They are both listed on the V5 certificate. The parts dealer should be able to work out the engine model number from the engine serial number. On my >206< I also found the engine serial number engraved on the front face of the engine block just underneath & to the right of where the exhaust manifold joins the engine, although the position varies between engine models.
I don't know about that particular vehicle, but on most engines there is a code embossed in the engine block
The VIN # from your car should be what you are looking for. The Vehicle Identification Number is located on your dashboard just under the windshield on the drivers side. You can give this number to a parts locator or dealer to help you ID the engine. Sometimes under the hood on the firwall you mnay have a sticker with more information on your engine.
Your Haynes Manaul will tell you where the code is. Your library may have the Haynes if you don't want to buy it, or try ebay for a copy.
you should n t need an engine code if its just parts your buying just go into a car spares shop and tell them your make of vehicle ie pug 306 your registration and the engine size ie 1.6/1.8xld and tell them which part you want and they will know from the details you ve given them which part you require
engine number is written on the log book! you wont even get your hands dirty!
