AYP?

its on a little piece of metal sticking out of the head

thats the engine code
what he is looking for is the engine number which is located on the front of the block just below the head gasket

are you with adrian flux by any chance? if you are and your filling out the modified vehicle report form just leave it blank, i did and i returned it and adrian flux sent me a letter confirming everything was ok on the form so i wouldnt worry!

 

[Olly20VT]

ha ha how did you know
i am real only updating it so they should have it, but i like to do EVERYTHING by the book when it comes to insurance as the last thing i want is to give them a loophole.

lift the engine cover up or off on the drivers side

look for the plastic timing belt cover (side of engine)

small bar code label on the top along the bottom you should see numero de mouteur AYP 123456 or similar

NB - dont wipe it if its dirty you will take the numbers off

 

[Olly20VT]

if for some reason youve still got the old type v5 from 2 years ago (before they sent you the new 1) then its clearly written on there mate

 

[Olly20VT]

na iv only got the one and iv moved houes thats why i had to send it back to get it amended.

 

[Undezcupra]
