Engine code

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 26 other vehicles, including the 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1999 Volkswagen Golf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine code and engine number (serial number) are die-stamped on the front of the cylinder block above the crankcase breather.

In addition, an adhesive label on the drive belt cover lists the engine code and engine number.

The engine code is also listed on the vehicle identification sticker in the luggage compartment.
