How do I find out the engine type?
I had a look in the log book but it only gave the engine number.
I know it's the V6 3.0 Ltr diesel, but there doesn't appear to be an engine model type recorded in the V5.

Does the cars VIN start with 642 ?

 

[Jimbo1959]

Yes.

 

[Wighty]

Yes.

I take it that means that I do have the OM642 engine then?

The engine type is the first 6 characters of the engine number. For example 119072 is an M119.072.
If it's a diesel engine the prefix us OM, for petrol M so in the example above its a petrol M119, variant 072.

Education is a wonderful thing!

Thanks again Alistair!

Now I can splash out on a decent socket to remove the oil filter cap.
