Engine Mechanical – 3.0L CPNB
(TDI)
General, Technical Data
The engine number (“engine code” and “serial number”) is
located on the left side in the front under the high pressure
pump toothed belt (Æ). In addition, a sticker with “engine code”
and “serial number” is affixed to the intake manifold. Engine
codes beginning with C are four-digit. The first 3 digits of the
engine code indicate the displacement and the mechanical
structure of the engine. The fourth digit describes the engine
output and torque. The four digit engine code is on the type
plate, vehicle data label and engine control module.
