Hi all,

I am trying to buy a timing belt tune up kit feom ECS. I need to figure out whether I have an "early" or "late" engine. I cannot make sense of the info on the site and ECS don't seem able to connect calls to their tech.

Can anyone shed any light on how best to determiine which motor I have? I presume it is obvious once I understand the VIN number codes, but I can't find a link to them either

Thanks

 

what model year? what engine, v6 or 1.8t?

 

lol, whata dork I am

Its a 2001 1.8 Turbo, Quattro

 

on your trunk does it have the red after the t if it has the red it is the newer style engine code awm if there is no red it is the older style atw engine code

 

yes!!!

It has the red after the T so I guess thats a quick way to know. Thanks for the help

 

It's (engine code) also on the drivers side front corner of the valve cover under the plastic engine cover.
