Where's engine number on AUQ

Can anyone tell me exactly where to look for the engine number on an AUQ 20vt?

Thanks

Luke

 

Same place as it is on all the 20v engines - on the block next to the bellhousing, to the right of the oil filter housing. If it's been in the car a while, it'll be covered in grime.

 

Great thanks.

 

How about if it was rusted and when you clean it up you cant read it, is it the same number thats on the cam belt cover?

 

Apparently so, but cam belt cover could well have been changed in it's life, so probably not the most reliable source.

 

Like he says - should be the same, but the cambelt cover regularly gets changed on conversions.

 

where is the tag that says AUQ or AGU etc on it?

 

Cylinder head - just forward from and to the left of injector #1

 

could it be snapped off as i couldnt see it? or am i missing it?

 

It's a structural part of the cylinder head, so you should hope it's not snapped off!

 

^^

As you stand in front of your car it's the very front left most part of the top of the cylinder head.

 

just behind the TB if you have a lefthanded TB onthe manifold

 

Guys - can one of you put some pictures up? It makes it so much easier for future ref.

Cheers.

 

Gimme 5min

 

will put one up this evening, thought i had one in my photobucket account to show it clearly enough.

It may be hard to see at first due to the plastic engine cover, pipes, etc, but its there just behind throttle body on the timing belt end of head, as above

Thanks Brian.

If anyone has engine block number location pics also, that would top this thread off nicely.

 

The codes Ive found>

Front of block over oil filter flange> ''1.6L''



Rear of block behind cylinder number 1 is the part number, ''06A103021C''>



These are the only codes Ive found other than the manufacturing date marks and random meaningless casting tags.

Brian.

 

cheers, there reason i said tag with AUG, BAM etc on was i didnt realise it was on that chunky bit of metal, lol! I had seen a pic once from a straight down angle and looked like it was possibly a thin, tag style sticking out bit of metal.

cheers again

 

Really its the cylinder head that has the engine code,and i've hear of more than 1 BAM with the block being replace with an AGU bottom end (even though the internal spec's are different in standard form)
Food for thought when buying a 2nd hand engine.
