Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Identification

Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual / 4- cylinder injection engine(1.4 1 direct inction. turbocharger) / Technical data / Identification

Engine number, engine data

The engine code and the engine number are located on the sticker -arrow- on the upper toothed belt guard.

The engine code is also on the vehicle data sticker and on the crankcase above the gearbox.

The engine number consists of up to nine characters (alphanumeric). The first part (maximum 3 characters) makes up the “engine code”, and the second part (6 characters), the “serial number”. If more than 999,999 engines were produced with the same code letters, the first of the six digits is replaced by a letter.

Vehicles with four digit engine codes

Starting with the letter “C”, new four digit engine codes have been introduced. The first 3 digits denote the mechanical design of the engine and are stamped on the engine as before. The fourth digit denotes the performance and torque rating of the engine and depends on the engine control unit -J623-. The four digit engine code can be found on the identification plate, the vehicle data sticker and on the engine control unit.
