Find the correct engine using its code
The engine code is the most reliable detail for identifying a compatible replacement. You can find it on the vehicle registration document, then search the catalogue or ask our team to verify it.
On an EU vehicle registration document, field P.5 contains the identification code of the engine installed in the vehicle.
Copy it exactly and take care not to confuse letters and numbers.How to find your engine code
You only need the vehicle registration document and less than a minute. The layout may vary slightly depending on the document format.

Take the vehicle registration certificate and locate the section containing the technical data.
- 2

Copy the full code
Copy every letter and number in the correct order. A clear photo of field P.5 helps us verify the information.
Cannot find P.5 or need confirmation?
Send us a clear photo of the registration document, hiding any unnecessary personal data, together with the vehicle make, model and year. We will verify the code before preparing a quote.
Engine code questions
Is the engine code always in field P.5?
On registration documents following the EU format, the engine identification code appears in field P.5. Older documents may use a different layout.
Is the number plate or VIN enough to order an engine?
They are useful details, but the engine code allows a more accurate check. We also verify vehicle configuration and compatibility before supply.
Can I search the code directly in the catalogue?
Yes. Enter the code in the search bar; if there is no result, send it through the quote form and we will check it manually.
What should I send to receive a quote?
Send the engine code, make, model, year and, when available, a clear photo of field P.5. Do not send unnecessary personal data.
