914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Where do I find my engine's serial number?

Posted by: 914time Aug 7 2014, 08:56 AM

Hello,

What is the easiest way to find my 914's engine serial number? It is a 1973 2.0L with no mods.

I have a lift and have been looking from the bottom up, but I am thinking it needs to be viewed from the engine compartment on the topside?

I've searched the Interweb hoping to find a video of where to find it, but haven't located it. Maybe I'll make one once I find mine

Can another member point me to an existing thread or walk me through step-by-step?

Thank you,

Erik

Look around the oil filler.

The engine number on a 1.7/1.8 is stamped on the top of the case st the flywheel end. The serial number on a 2.0 is just below the oil filler assembly. Some cases have no number. Early bus T4 engines had the number stamped on the fan housing.

The positioning of the numbers has been discussed here many times, and is available via the search function.

...and if its a 1.7 or 1.8 case that has been upgraded with 2.0 barrel look on top of the case at the base of no3 cyl.
