    actual engine number location (1.8T)

    new and old engine code is APU.... I know where APU can be found.. what I am after is the whole engine number (APU030667) where can I locate the 6 digits ??? there is no time for me to re-register the car with the new engine so I might just redo the old number on the new engine
