Hi all,
I am new to this forum and actually also new to VW in general, so I hope you will welcome me with open arms
I have quite a problem, which I hope you can help me with. I have recently bought a mk4 tdi. The previous owner told me that it was a "TDI 100 Edition" with a 6 speed gearbox as well as a 100 horsepower engine. However, the car was born as a 90hp model (I learned just yesterday). I now really don't know what to make of it all. There is no sticker in the boot or on the timing belt cover, as well as no imprint on the engine itself. I really want to know which engine I have, is it a 100hp, 115 or??

I really hope you guys can help me, I literally don't know how else to proceed. It is very difficult to order parts when you don't know which engine to order them for!
Thanks,
Tore

Hi all,
First, I want to thank you for taking the time to help me - much appreciated!
Unfortunatly, the engine code is nowhere to be found, not on camshaft cover, logbook, in the boot, or on the engine itself (where it joints with the gearbox)
Anyway Dan, that sounds great, at least some possibles can be crossed off the list now!
If anyone knows exatly which engine this is, I would still like to know
Have a great day - Tore

Sorry, I must have just missed your reply! I am in Denmark, so I don't think you can use the registration no for anything I have had a VW dealer look the VIN no. up, and when the car was made, it came with a 90hp engine and 5-speed gearbox.
By the way, the car was made in 1999 if that makes a difference.

So you don't have anything stamped here?

The ECU part number 'may' shed some light on it if it was sourced from the same engine, but it's still a guessing game.

Here is the image I used for locating the engine code:
