(Home) engine number

Hi I have a 2ltr 2ct engine and the Toyota dealer in Alicante keeps asking for the engine number and I keep telling him that the townace does not have a number Am I correct or is he correct?

He might mean the model number which is just in front of the drivers seat under the carpet, dont think he would need the engine number which is on the reg document or you can get it off the engine it self...

the engine number is on the block just above the starter, although as Neil says it's normally the full chassis number that a dealer will use...

Have given them all the numbers from the vin plate but he still insists that there should be another number for the engine. He does say that part numbers will be the same as in the UK but when I quote the numbers to he he cannot find them on there system

He needs to look on the Japanese CD not the UK one.

true, and he also must convert the VIN number on the car to a vehicle description number that is recognised in the EPC. (assuming he has the frameno add-on for the EPC system...)
