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.
