The engine number ( "Engine code" and "Serial number" ) can be found on the rear left of the cylinder block.

Additionally there is a sticker on the toothed belt guard giving the "Engine code" and "Serial number".

The engine code is also given on the vehicle data sticker.

NOTE:

The engine code is also stamped on the front lifting eye (visible when engine cover panel is removed).
