Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
The engine code is essential for ordering parts, diagnosing issues, and verifying compatibility. It is not the same as the VIN or chassis number. This guide shows exactly where to find it - by model and engine type - using official Stellantis and DVLA sources

A unique identifier stamped on the engine block or cover used for parts and service.

The vehicle identification number that holds encoded vehicle and engine information.

The chassis or frame number used for registration and legal identification.

Locate the engine code on the front of the cylinder block, just below the injection pump assembly on the driver's side (LHD) or passenger side (RHD). It is stamped into cast iron. A torch and wire brush may be required to remove road grime.

The code is printed on a white plastic riveted label attached to the upper timing cover, visible once the plastic engine beauty cover is removed. Difficulty: Simple (no tools required). Look for '940A1.000' or '955A2.000'.

Stamped vertically on the rear of the cylinder block, adjacent to the firewall. Access requires a long-reach mirror or flexible endoscope. Difficulty: Moderate. Code begins with '552S8.000' for latest emissions-compliant variants.

The engine code is located on a label attached to the intake manifold, near the turbocharger. It reads '955A8.000' for turbo variants. Confirm prefix '955A' for MultiAir-equipped models.
Engine code locations per Alfa Romeo TIS Document A15001 – Vehicle Identification. V5C field definitions from DVLA Guide to Vehicle Registration. VIN structure compliant with EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, Article 7.
A technical breakdown of Alfa Romeo's core engine systems including Twin Spark ignition, JTD/JTDM common rail, MultiAir valve actuation, and turbo architectures with documented reliability impacts. All data sourced from Stellantis Technical Documentation, Alfa Romeo TIS and EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007
Alfa Romeo's Twin Spark technology utilises two spark plugs per cylinder, paired with variable valve timing (VVT), to optimise combustion efficiency and flame front propagation. Developed to meet stringent late-1990s emissions targets while maintaining high-revving performance characteristics.
The system employs one main plug centrally located and a secondary plug near the intake valve. The ECU staggers ignition timing between the two plugs based on load and RPM. Combined with a phaser-driven inlet cam, this allows precise control over the combustion cycle.

Authoritative data on Alfa Romeo's global engine production, plant operations, and strategic partnerships. All figures sourced from Stellantis Annual Reports, Sustainability Reports, and EU industrial compliance records.
Alfa Romeo manufactures engines at three primary Stellantis facilities, each specialising in specific families.



Alfa Romeo produces approximately 105,000 engines annually across shared Stellantis platforms. Note the steady decline in Diesel production due to Euro 6d compliance costs, while Hybrid integration rises sharply.
Note: Diesel production has declined steadily due to Euro 6d compliance costs, urban access restrictions, and accelerated PHEV rollout. Hybrid integration rising sharply post-2022.
Operating under Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and now Stellantis, Alfa Romeo engines are co-developed with sister brands to share R&D costs and meet EU fleet CO2 averages.
1.4 TB MultiAir and 1.3 MultiJet II standardised across group
Common tooling reduces per-unit manufacturing costs by ~18%

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
Confirm the full engine designation using vehicle-specific manufacturer records and the engine marking. An engine serial number, a registration record and a marketed power badge are not automatically the same identifier. Match the VIN/build data and the installed engine before selecting parts or a replacement.
No. A factory-application reference and a replacement-interchange decision are different. Match the full engine designation, vehicle build data, emissions equipment, controls and relevant supplier/OEM information.
No. Records have different review states. Read the correction notice, source scope and application limits on the individual record. Missing technical fields must not be inferred from similar engine codes.
