Help Please! Where do I find the engine details in my log book? I can't seem to find it. As for a service book I don have one as its all computer based, thats what i was told by my Seat Dealer.
Page 2 of your V5. Section 4 'vehicle details' sub section P.5 'engine number'
As for service book , we've got one ( 64 Cupra) and have for all our Leon's.
Thought there had been developments for a momentYep general comment. I am just reading details. No new info from vw
For those still trying to identify their engine.
This is the EA189 engine - note the vertical DPF unit on the back
This is the EA288 engine - note the horizontal DPF units on the back

I wonder..... back in 2012 I was looking at new cars for work. It came down to a 2.0 TDi 140bhp Passat or a Skoda Superb with the same engine. Passat emissions 119g/km, Superb 143g/km.
Perhaps VW didn't share its , ahem, 'technology' with Skoda.......

Mine is definitely an EA288. Hopefully this means that mine is not affected by this fallout apart from being "collateral damage" in terms of residual value maybe?
you mean the unbridled stigmatism of the second hand market? Its not like such ignorance hindered Alfa Romeo for years
, are VW diesels going to go the same way?Food for thought.
Glad I bought a petrol this time round

Didn't you hear? VAG petrol engines have also been found with cheat software!
Kidding of course!

I cant say for sure, but the engine with one Catylist is likely a PGM (platimum group metals) DPF, - that is its a standard catylist process in a particulate filter. A by product of this is nitrogen dioxide, commonly referred to as NOx.
The second engine that has TWO filters could be newer technology where the first filter is a more standard type catylist, a 'flow through PGM catylist, so no particulate filter. While the second filter is a particulate filter, but is a copper based catylist process developed to reduce NOx.
