How do you find your 3 letter engine code?
« on: 09 October 2012, 20:21 »
Need it for pairing up some eBay parts to the car to check if we're ordering the right parts in.

If anyone can do this by feeding off the reg num then i can PM you if needs be.

open your boot, lift the carpet on the left hand side and you should see a white stick, OR... take your engine cover off and look on the bracket, and it will be stamped on there :)

stamped on the head, clear as day.

Opposite end to the lifting eye.

Pre 2000 it's an agu, 2001 onwards it'll be AUM for a 150 or AUQ for a 180, sometime in 2000 it could be AGU, ARZ, or AUM!
