Engine number location

[Pete]

Moving on from the post about the replacement head. Had fitted a
replacement gasket and put the car back together only to find that the
problems were still there.

Have had a garage examine the head today and their professional
opinion is that it is dead...

In order for me to get a replacement through them, they have asked for
the engine number off the car. Now, I am sure the answer is in the
Heynes manual, but I am currently in work and am hoping that some kind
soul could let me know where I need to look.

On a side note, thanks for peoples advice on the head removal, didn't
feel confident to start with but the work was surprisingly easy.

TIA

Assuming that the 306 1.9TD engine is the same as the 406 1.9TD then Haynes
only mention Engine Codes, not the actual number. The relevant para
reads:

"The engine code is stamped on a plate attached to the front of the cylinder
block. This is the code most often used by Peugeot. The code given in
brackets is the factory identification number, and is not often referred to
by Peugeot or this manual."

Hope that helps.

Eeer OK, there are two plates in general. One popped on right of the
cylinder block, showing something like "A8B" with stamped mentions "Type"
and "Régl." (stands for "Réglage" which respectively are A8 and B. There is
a direct conversion with the "factory engine type" (here it would be a
XUD7T).
The other is most of times popped in the center of the cylinder block,
visible from the front (you may have to move some wiring looms or whatever
else to find it), with no mention. That is were the engine number is.

HTH,

Again, thanks for the replies... It was the engine type and I spotted
the little plate when I got in last night.

Heres hoping the replacement head doesn't cost the earth,
