Hello, and welcome to the Club Wave

The engine number is at the bottom of the front of the engine block just above the sump, to the right of the crankcase breather pipe.

You will more than likely need to wire brush it to make it out, and it's not the easiest of things to get to with the engine in the car.

Thanks for that. Sounds like a b*tch to get to. Will put it on to do list for another day I think.

If only it were that simple. Engine was changed by Wycliffe peugeot (probably the least helpful garage in the known galaxy!) on waaranty . They were unable to provide the number!!

the number is on a small flat part of the engine just above sump and to the right of oil filter/ breather and with a small rub with wire wool you should be able to clear the rust and then hold your camera / phone up to it and take a snap. worked for me on friday

They've changed pretty recently to new offices, new workshop etc on the main dual carraigeway near newbold rd.

They did my cambelt and MOT for mt in January, gave pretty bloody good service tbh in my experience. Smile

Thread revival! But since search is you're friend in here, I have a query about the the said question on this topic.

Few weekends ago, I had a chap come to have a look at my car and was trying to find the Engine Number and I said 'pass' as I didn't know for the life of me of where this would be.

Obviously this thread has now given me an indication and will need to have a look at it over the weekend.

Looking closely at my past history of the car, I found the original receipt for the car(purchased by previous owner from the Peugeot dealer) which declared the engine number and it consists of a 5 numerical reference.
Do all our cars have a 5 numerical reference?

engine number's longer than that. more like 10 and has letters at the start if i remember rightly. it does say the original engine number on the V5, but up to you to declare a new one to DVLA

i thought it was stamped at the back of the block somewhere or above the oil filter at the front. i found mine anyway and declared the new number regardless

Given nobody else can find it easily I wouldn't bother, the less DVLA involvement you can get away with the better.

unless you have it from the donor's V5 I doubt you will be able to get anything legible, neither is it accessible.

IMO as long as you insure it correctly that's all that matters, its not like a taxation class has changed.

even on the v5 it might be wrong if it's had a previous engine swap! I never even give it a thought tbh when I put my 6 lump into my 205. I'll just be declaring it to insurance

Well I was looking in the wrong place for a start I'll go take a look and see on my spare engine
Thanks

My 205 is still down as a 1.6 as I brought it as a shell its more to get the correct cc on the v5 than the actual engine number but may as well do it all if I can read it
