1.6 Engine, Model and Type Designation
Every engine can be unmistakably identified using the manufacturer’s nameplate. As well
as the clearly defined 12-digit code number, this refers to the order number (SN) and the
date of construction. This information must always be provided when making any enquiries
or complaints, etc.
As of July 1985, the consecutive engine number is also imprinted on the crankcase.
As of July 1982, the type designation (a 12-digit code number) is used in addition to the
series number (SN = Order Number). (See manufacturer’s nameplate).
