Engine Number
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Audi A7 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The engine number ("engine code" and "serial number") is located on the front of the cylinder block at the top -arrow-.
- In addition, a sticker with "engine code" and "serial number" is affixed to the intake manifold.
- Engine codes beginning with "C" are four-digit.
- The first three digits of the engine code stand for displacement and the mechanical structure of the engine. They are stamped in the cylinder block, including the serial number.
- The fourth digit describes the engine output and torque and depends on the Engine Control Module (ECM).
NOTE:
The four digit engine code is on the type plate, vehicle data label and engine control module.
For the location of the Type Plate and Vehicle Data label:
The Type Plate is on the door post on the front passenger side. Vehicles for certain export countries do not have a type plate.
The Vehicle Data label is in the luggage compartment under the luggage compartment in the spare wheel well on the left side.
