CBTA, CBUA
General, Technical Data
Engine Number
The engine code (A) and engine number (B) (serial number) are
located on the rear side of the engine, above the cylinder block/
upper oil pan partition. The engine number consists of up to nine
characters (alphanumeric). The first part (maximum of 3 letters)
represents the engine code; the second (six digits) is the serial
number. If more than 999,999 engines with the same engine code
are produced, the first of the six characters is replaced with a letter.
In addition, a sticker with the engine code and engine number
is applied to the cylinder head cover. The engine code letters
are also located on the vehicle data label. The vehicle data label
is located in the customer’s service schedule as well as in the
spare tire wheel well or on the luggage compartment floor.
When four digit engine codes are used, the first three digits indicate
the mechanical structure of the engine and are stamped on the
engine. The fourth digit describes the engine output and torque.
