I've read that engine numbers are no longer required in Germany, can anyone confirm? The engine I have does not seem to have a number (from the factory that way) since it is from a German car. Where the engine is made for a country that requires it the number is normally stamped into the starter mounting but theres nothing there on mine.

Re: Engine numbers
It's not on the clutch housing, at the far left of the engine?

Re: Engine numbers
Sphere,
I think I know where you mean. I just did another search and can't find where the heck I read about engine numbers no longer being used. Did I dream it or something? I think I'll go have another long look at the engine

Re: Engine numbers
I don't have a first clue about smart engines, I just read this hint on the web. I also read that it isn't actually stamped, but printed by laser, hence can be difficult to read. Hope it helps ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Engine numbers
Hey I found the thing! It was under a layer of grime below the clutch housing, lasered as you mentioned. Took some white sprits and a lot of elbow grease to bring it up to where I could read it!
