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 Suzuki 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 engine block, near the timing chain cover. It is stamped into the metal or on a label near the cylinder head.
The engine code is located on a label attached to the timing chain cover or camshaft housing. Look for "K14C" marking.
Open the hood and look at the front right of the engine. The code is on a white label near the intake manifold. Confirm "K12C" for DualJet engines.
The engine code is cast into the side of the cylinder block, near the exhaust manifold. Look for "J20A" stamped on aluminum.
Engine code locations per Suzuki Service Manual. 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 Suzuki's core engine systems including Dual Jet, Dual VVT, BOOSTERJET turbocharging and SHVS hybrid technology with documented reliability impacts. All data sourced from Suzuki Technical Service Information and EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007
Suzuki's Dual Jet technology uses two fuel injectors per cylinder instead of one, positioned to optimize fuel spray pattern and combustion efficiency for better fuel economy and lower emissions.
Twin injectors spray fuel from both sides of the intake port, creating better air-fuel mixing. Combined with higher compression ratios (11.5:1 to 12.0:1) and Dual VVT, this delivers improved thermal efficiency.
K12C (2015)
First Dual Jet application
K10C (2015)
Smaller displacement adaptation
K12M (2018)
Variable timing on both cams
K12C SHVS (2018)
Mild hybrid integration
Carbon buildup
Minimal due to port injection design
Injector clogging
Rare with proper fuel quality
High compression sensitivity
Requires correct octane fuel

Authoritative data on Suzuki's global engine production, plant operations, and strategic partnerships. All figures sourced from Suzuki Annual Reports, Sustainability Reports, and EU industrial compliance records.
Suzuki manufactures engines at multiple facilities worldwide, each specializing in specific families.
Suzuki produces over 3.2 million vehicles annually. Note the steady decline in Diesel production due to Euro 6d regulations, while Hybrid integration rises with SHVS technology.
Note: Diesel production has declined steadily due to Euro 6d and WLTP regulations (Regulation (EC) No 715/2007). SHVS mild hybrid integration rising across K-series engines.
Strategic collaboration for diesel and small petrol engines. K14B co-developed with Fiat, DDiS diesel engines licensed from Fiat for European markets.
Co-developed 1.4L engine used in Swift, Fiat Panda
Fiat-sourced common rail diesel for European compliance
Suzuki Strategic Partnerships – Fiat Collaboration
Shift in production reflects EU emissions policy and changing consumer demand.
This aligns with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (WLTP/RDE) and EU 2035 ICE phase-out 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.
EngineCode.uk provides reference information about Suzuki engines. It is operated by Engine Finders UK Ltd and also offers an optional replacement-engine enquiry service. Technical information can contain errors or omissions. Check the sources and verification notes for the relevant record, and confirm the details for your vehicle before buying parts or arranging work.
