Engine Code And Engine Identification

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta, 2009 Volkswagen Jetta, 2009 Volkswagen GLI, 2008 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2008 Volkswagen GLI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

From model year 2008, four-digit engine codes are used.

The first 3 digits describe the engine structure and are still stamped on the engine as before.

The fourth digit describes the engine output and depends on the engine control module.

Four-digit engine codes are on the type plate, the vehicle data label and the engine control module.
