General Engine Number

[chlblnz]

Hi,

I've insured my Panda Sporting through Adrian Flux and advised about the engine modification. I've put a 1998 Punto Sporting 85 engine in.

They've asked for the engine number but I can't see it anywhere.

Does someone know where I should be looking as it's not obvious?

Cheers
Will

Generally, it's on a rib sticking out of the block where block joins head. You'll probably need a wire brush to make it visible.

yep, small flat bit above the water pump - its really hard to read generally. Will start 176B9 on a 1.2 16v engine

You'll also need the engine number to update the V5 at the DVLA don't forget. Evidence of the engine change now needs to be supplied, but it's fairly straightforward (just done it myself) - the guidance is on their website, or give me a shout if you get stuck. You will need (iirc) either a receipt for the engine, a bill from the garage that fitted it, or an inspection report. If you send the correct evidence the change should go straight through & you're all nice and legal

that sounds right to me, i recently changed the engine number on my cinq V5 from the 16v conversion... All i sent them was a receipt for buying the engine - was only evidence i could use as i fitted engine myself.
