Guest Ash Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 That's correct, you found the VIN plate on the inner top member and the stamp on the RH upper bulkhead. There are no others to my knowledge. Yours, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Is the engine number visible from the engine bay, or do you have to get under the car to see it? Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ash Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Darren......... The engine number is on the LH side of the block underneath the intake manifold assembly. So it is only visible by either removing the intake manifold or jacking the car up and removing the engine undertray. mrpug106.......... The seat-belt tags indicate when the seat belts were manufactured which, of course, gives a strong indication when the whole car was assembled. But there are also dates on many other parts.

Doughie Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Darren / Ash Actually I can confirm that the engine number IS visible without removing anything at all. When i bought my car i was checking the engine number and i was about to give up as i couldn't see it, BUT then i found it. You need a torch and it IS visible through a small gap. v hard to describe but it is stamped on the lower left side of the engine block. (left side looking towards the front of the car). You may need a few minutes to spot it, but it is there, and it's quite big text too, in raised lettering. Give it a go. roughly you have to look down at a 45 degree angle in between pipes and hoses and stuff and it's stamped on the block. cheers Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Excellent. I'll be looking at an NA so hopefully there will be less gubbins (technical term) in the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Mine's a TT, so i guess that Toyota have the engine number stamped in roughly the same place on the N/A. would seem logical to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
