    I would like to update my V5C with a new engine code (ABF in a Mk2 16v, originally a KR). Where exactly can I find the full engine code on the ABF block? The V5C currently has an engine code starting with the letters 'KR'

    Thanks :)

    This shows the location of a DX number, very top centre, right. Two letters there, and 6 numbers.

    It is the same on an ABF except the numbers are slightly further down the block due to its extra height (16mm). Often rusty, a long blade screwdriver should help you scrape the surface.
