How to Identify Which 2.8 My Audi Has


1. Locate the engine block stamping. According to the Snap On PDF technical manual on the w124 Performance site, the engine block stamping is usually on the passenger side of the block, near the timing chain tensioner. It is visible when looking down between the throttle valve control and the valve cover. Later-model 2.8-liter engines have an identification sticker with the code, normally on the drivebelt cover at the front of the engine.
2. Locate the engine identifier on the tag. Audi uses a two-to-three letter code to identify their engines. The letters are at the beginning of the identification number, followed by a sequential engine production number. An example of an engine code is 'AFC.'
3. Identify which Audi 2.8-liter engine you have. By referencing the code to the listing found on Auto Shopping Center, you can positively identify the particular 2.8-liter you have installed in your vehicle. The example 'AFC,' Identifies a 2.8-liter V-6 with two valves per cylinder from a 1994 to 1994 Audi 80.
