I need to find the engine No. of my 405DT, but I don't actually know what
format of number I should be looking for, or whereabouts on the engine I
should be looking.
I know that the engine is a XU9DT, but I assume that the engine no has some
sort of serial No. unique to that particular engine ?

Anyway, replies appreciated.

Cheers,
Albert

The engine number should be on your registration document.

...which I don't have. I am taking the car for a VIC (Vehicle Identity
Check) so that I can get a replacement V5, but I need the engine No. for
the VIC application form.
The No. must be stamped on the engine somewhere, I am sure, but since I am
not entirely sure what the number should look like, or whereabouts it might
be, I couldn't see it.

Cheers,
Albert

Could that be on a metal plate fixed to the cylinder block, about between
cylinders 2 and 3 ? On my 205D I've got such a number (1CV1Z something).
Don't know where it is on a XUD9TE (TE 'cause your car has an intercooler -
there also was a XUD9T, eh). Some hoses may be hiding the plate, though.

Don't make the confusion with the engine "plate code", which should be a
black plate around cyl4 just under the head, black and white, written above
"Type" and "R?gl" (for "r?glage"), and which should be formed of three
characters, usually letter-digit-letter, like "A9A" or "D6B".

Thanks GT, very useful.

I'll bear that in mind.
From what I've been able to find, and what you have said, the Engine No.
format should be something like:

NLLNL NNNNNN (where L=letter, N=number)

I should be able to find that, now I know what I'm after.

You're welcome, I hope this helps.

BTW, both plates are riveted together with the cylinder block.

Well, perhpaps (I'm too lazy to open my bonnet at this moment :-) as I've
never been careful about that.
