Well, damn... another noob question

Alright, I have a 99.5 1.8T. Where the hell do I find my engine code so I can make sure I get the right coil packs?

Isn't there a sticky at the top of the page devoted to that?

Just take off the plastic cover that's above the valve cover. The engine code is indented on the lower right side. You can't miss it.

I'm going through my subscriptions and deleting them. I had over 400 of them. Of course, I had to look at some of my first few threads just to laugh at myself!

Please, enjoy a good laugh at my expense!
