just below the oil cap there is a screw slightly to the left take the cover off and the engine code will be stamped there

Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

Is it not in your owners manual where it details the specs of all the different engines?
