chippy Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Hi guys, rang up vauxhall today with a 9 digit number from the block which i through was the engine number but i was informed it wasnt! He sed it should start with 20xe...... but i cant find it anywere! He then said it possibly could be a recon engine which according to him wasnt unusal to be fitted in astras between 1985-1993! Is this correct? where can i find it located on the block! cheers guys Quote
jeff oakley Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Looking at the engine from the front the engine number will be on the right side at the very back where the engine bolts up to the gearbox. There is a flat bit there which is where it would be. He is correct that a recon motor from Vauxhall would have had the number ground off. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 If it is still there, it can also "disappear" a bit under a few layers of paint and grime. Sometimes needs a bit of a clean to show up. (Mind you Perksy does seem to have gone a bit far with the cleaning ) Quote
