Where is my engine number?

[Leon_FR_Owner]

Hi, I need to get a UK registration on my Spanish Leon 5f, 2019. I'm being asked for the engine number, but I don't know where it is, and the manual doesn't tell me. Can anyone help? It's a FR 1.5 petrol engine, 150bhp, type DPCA, auto DSG7 gearbox.
Thanks,
Steve

From a service/repair manual:

"The engine number can be found on the left on the joint between engine and gearbox."

Not sure whether it's easily visible though.

Is it not on your Spanish equivalent of the UK V5 registration document?

I'll have a look tomorrow, thanks. I guess the picture is showing the gearbox on the right with the engine on the left, viewed from the left hand side of the engine bay.

No, the only unique references on the registration document is the VIN, and a very long number which identifies me as the owner.

I thought I'd found it in the Service menu, but that was the Engine Code, DPCA.

Here in my country, Turkey, when a car comes in a dealer for maintenance or repairs, they print out a work order, and an invoice after the work is done. Both documents always have VIN and also engine number. This might not be the case in every country but a quick look wouldn't hurt if you have that kind of documents from the past dealer visits.

Hi, thanks for your help. I had a look on my service receipts. On some of them there is a space for engine number (NRO. MOTOR) but it is not filled in

I found a couple of stickers on the top of the engine, one showing a number in the format *005DPC nnnnnnGGnnnnnn* could that be the engine number?

Your engine number should start with the first three letters of your engine code, which is DPC in your case. The rest is the six-digit serial number, so nine digits in total.
