Re: Got used block, need engine code! (cmitchelli)

first three letter/numbers of the part number you posted. 06A...
look on a machined surface along where the trans bolts up to it, on top to the right of the oil filter housing if looking at the front of the motor.... letter code should be there...
 
Re: (cmitchelli)

The only significant fitment difference between 06A 1.8T blocks is that engine code AWM (Passat/A4) have a machined boss for mounting the A/C bracket on the passenger side. If you are using the block in any other application, it doesn't matter.
Be sure it is not a 2.0 block- it should have the threaded fitting in the back for the turbo coolant feed.
