Engine type identification dx, ex etc

Post by EDDIE-F »

Hi All

I have a mk2 1989 1800 GT with a pierberg.

The block has rusted quite bad so i can only see the dots that would represent the corners of the letters E or D . based on six dots presumed its an EX.

Is the any other way of determining engine type ?

want to double check my timing but need to be sure of engine version.

Thanks

Ed

Also on V5 document - EX will be the first characters of the engine number.
