What numbers are you talking about? It will tell you the displacement and a engine code. The engine code is used at dealers and garages.
That arrangement of numbers is the typical format for a VW part number. IIRC, that particular part number is for the engine block.
There will be a two letter designation in front of those numbers that will pinpoint the engine.
Volkswagen part numbers! Cool! You can search the internet for instructions on how to read these numbers, but for right now what YOUR number means is it's the VW part number for the engine case.
The numbers vary from one engine to the next. Varies with model year and displacement and European or US.
What mean the code troble 1476.8 VW jetta 1994 engine 2.0
Any vw engine that you can fit into the engine bay.
that could mean so many things...
I Dnt know
Cars running lean
the numbers are the CC (Cubic Centimeters) of the engine rounded off.
whats the letter before the numbers? there is no letter before the numbers, the engine is salvaged but the model of the car is a '70 bug. the other numbers i found off the engine by the VW symbol reads "H3 101 101 B (or 8) 17" Answer: Reading the number off the generator/alternator stand is the engine code. There will be a little VW symbol and then the letters/ numbers either H0 or H5, I don't have a listing for a H3. An H0 will be a late 1966 to early 1967, H5 will be late 1967 to early 1969. Of course these are the numbers for the case, if it's been rebuilt there may be a number of different year features to the engine. The stock displacement for the engine codes above is 1500 cc, these were easily and usually modified when rebuilt to be 1600 cc.
In your owners manual the numbers will tell you what circuit each fuse protects.
