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 Iveco and DVLA sources
A unique identifier stamped on the engine identification plate 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 identification plate on the front right of the engine block, near the injection pump. It is a metal plate with stamped code (e.g., F1CE0481A).
The engine code is on a plate affixed to the left side of the cylinder block, visible from the driver's side wheel arch. Code format: F4AE0481A.
Open the cab tilt and look at the rear of the cylinder head. The code is stamped on a metal plate near the turbocharger. Confirm 'F3BE3681A' for Euro 6 compliance.
The engine code is cast into the rear of the cylinder head, near the thermostat housing. Look for '8140.43' or '8140.63' depending on emissions standard.

A technical breakdown of Iveco's core engine systems including Common Rail injection, turbocharging architectures, natural gas technology and modular design with documented reliability impacts. All data sourced from Iveco Group Technical Documentation, Iveco Service Information and EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007
Iveco's Common Rail system delivers fuel at up to 2,000 bar for precise injection timing and reduced emissions. Introduced in the late 1990s, it replaced mechanical injection across the F1A, F1C, NEF, and Cursor families.
A high-pressure pump supplies a common rail (accumulator) that maintains constant pressure. Electronically controlled injectors deliver precise fuel quantities based on engine load, speed, and emissions requirements.
SOFIM 8140 (1999)
1,350 bar – Euro 3
F1A (2006)
1,600 bar – Euro 4/5
F1C Euro 6 (2014)
2,000 bar – Euro 6, piezo injectors
Cursor 13 Euro 6d (2020)
2,200 bar, SCR/AdBlue integration
Injector coking
especially on early Euro 4 engines
HPFP wear
fuel contamination; SB-2012-089
Rail pressure sensor failure
Fault code P0087/P0088

Authoritative data on Iveco's global engine production, plant operations, and strategic partnerships. All figures sourced from Iveco Group Annual Reports, Sustainability Reports, and EU industrial compliance records.
Iveco manufactures engines at three primary facilities, each specialising in specific families.
Iveco produces approximately 350,000+ engines per year. Note the steady shift from diesel to natural gas and electric powertrains aligned with EU emissions policy and customer demand.
Note: Diesel production share has declined due to Euro 6d compliance costs and growing demand for natural gas and electric powertrains. Alternative fuel integration rising.
Strategic collaboration within CNH Industrial group. NEF and Cursor engines power New Holland agricultural equipment and Case Construction machinery, leveraging shared engineering and production efficiency.
Common Rail injection, VGT turbo, emissions systems
NEF blocks built in Foggia, adapted for agricultural duty cycles

Shift in production reflects EU emissions policy and changing commercial vehicle demand.
This aligns with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (WLTP/RDE) and EU 2035 commercial vehicle decarbonisation roadmap.

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.
