Do I need to replace anything else when changing my engine or gearbox?

An engine code is a unique identifier for the engine type used in your vehicle. It helps ensure compatibility when buying a replacement engine. Some engine codes can apply to different engine variants, so having this code helps us supply you with the right fit.

The easiest way to find your engine number (or engine code) is on your licence disc or your vehicle registration document. If it's not listed there, it will be stamped directly onto the engine block. If you're still unsure, contact our sales team with your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine size (e.g. 1.2, 1.6, 2.0), and we’ll help you identify the correct engine.

Our experienced sales team will match your vehicle with the correct engine using your engine code and vehicle details. In most cases, this is all that is needed. However, there are instances where engines with the same code have small differences. We'll guide you through the process to ensure the best match.
