Engine Number Location

Searched but only found threads on previous gens.

Could someone confirm where I’d find the engine number under the bonnet? With a picture if possible?

Looking at S3 later and just one of the checks I want to carry out to make sure no engine replacement.

I’ve looked in my A3 and can’t see it anywhere.

On the FL you'll find the engine number stamped on the block to the front where the gearbox face mates to the block. I suspect PFL & other engine derivatives will be the exact same location. You don't have to remove the engine cover I just did for more clarity. Shine a torch down and you'll see it.

Thanks very much. I did manage to find it in the end. Good reference for others now too.
