Engine number and CBZB model characteristics

The engine number (“engine identification character” and “serial number”) is located on the engine directly above the joint separating the engine/gearbox.

In addition, the “engine identification character” and the “serial number” are indicated on the vehicle data sticker -arrow- which is located on the air guide pipe.

- As of letter “C”, four-digit engine identification characters are used.
- The first 3 digits of the engine identification characters refer to the displacement and the mechanical construction of the engine. They are type-punched together with the serial number on the cylinder block.
- The fourth digit indicates the output and the torque of the engine and depends upon the engine control unit.

Update (2013-03-29)

Added engines overview and Audi SSP in English.

It's interesting, same SSPs about same 1.2 TSI engine but every make (Audi, Skoda and VW) has some more details. Example: at Audi you can see construction of charge pressure actuator and different states with thermostats, etc. When looking on all of them you build big picture. I think Audi has the best SSP than others.

Crackling noise from behind storage compartment

After a while, 2 weeks or month, I started to hear some annoying sound but only when you are idle - waiting for the green light or similar. It happens only on low RPMs like 600-800 and it's gone when you accelerate above 1000 RPMs. Always happend when at morning you switchin on egnition.

Open bonnet and look at top left corner.

The fuel line 3 (see picture) is crackling with top grey hose.

You can move fuel line 3 to empty holder in the middle. This is "after" picture, before that middle hose was in most right position.

When the sound came back in November 2011, I've posted the best solution so far.

Champion Motors *6363

I got this card with my new car. This is 24/7 Champion Motors service for VAG car owners. Backside says that I can get:
- Technical support for any question or problem regarding the car
- Wheel changing and fuel filling service
- Towing vehicle service
- Help in small problems starting the car
- Navigation to any destination in the country
- Traffic information and re-navigation
- Fuel station, pharmacy, ATM locations and more
- Weather information, currency rates and more

This Friday I was looking for some security stuff and decided to check if they can help me.
So I called *6363 and a girl answered me. She said that regarding security questions an authorised person will call me back on Sunday and checked my details. She knew from my mobile phone number who I am and what kind of car I have - that was nice.

But till now nobody called me back...
Also, there is an asterisk saying that they can stop providing the service anytime. I hope it will be available for at least 2 years of car's guarantee.

G12 plus plus

I meet today a friend of mine in VW garage in Netanya and bought a bottle of original coolant to be in the just in case - 1.5L for 65 NIS.

What was on labels

Suitable as a filled-for-life filling.
G12plus plus distinguishes itself through the miscibility with the products G12 and G12 plus. Provides protection against frost, overheating, corrosion and scaling. It is recommended to use this product all-year round. To be used as described only.

Harmful if swallowed. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Keep out of the reach of children. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Do not breathe vapour. Avoid contact with skin. Dispose of this material and its container to hazardous or special waste collection point.

For me was also a new that coolant should be mixed with tap water in 1:1 proportion, I thought that it's ready to use. Actually, that's very smart, check the manual:

The coolant which you use for replenishing the system, must comply with one specific specification. Do not use an alternative additive if the coolant additive G12 PLUS - PLUS is not available in exceptional cases. Just top up the system with water and as soon as possible arrange adjustment to correct the mixing ratio of water and coolant additive again by a specialist garage.

You should always have a bottle of water in the car. It's useful to wash hands in a field or... rescuing your engine from overheating and damage. When level is extremly low and you havent G12, add a water, but remember how much you filled (say, 0. liters). Keep an eye on temperature and get closest garage or service and add same amount of G12 - 0.5 liters to get right proportion back.

Also, small tip. Never, I mean, NEVER buy oil or coolant at petrol stations.
