Re: Busso V6 engine numbers
Maybe Autolusso might still have the paperwork that came with the car - it'll be on the V5 if they have.

Leigh - unfortunately they dont but I'm still pressing them for more info.
Thanks also to Gordon for the Alfa Owner reference - I already saw this but was wondering if there is something even more definitive as I'm not sure if the IVA inspectors would deem this to be sufficient (unless you have experience of this?)
Re: Busso V6 engine numbers
I just checked the V5 from my donor (166) and it only has the last 6 digits on there. No letters.
Re: Busso V6 engine numbers
Hi Leigh - the V5 might only give the last 6 numbers but on your 166 engine block there should be one of the following codes in front of the V5 6 digits : - AR 36101 for a CF3 or AR 34301 for a CF2 - according to the Alfa Owner codes referenced by Gordon in this thread. This engine number is on a horizontal surface below the thermostat housing at the gearbox end of the engine.
I wish I'd photographed mine before installation as the testers will need proof of age of the engine and it's not so easy to access now! (and I dont have the V5)
Re: Busso V6 engine numbers
I have a feeling I may well have the same issue now as I forgot about making a note of mine!
But as I know mine is a 1998 166 with a CF2 engine I guess my engine code is AR34301.
What 'proof' do IVA need? I have the V5 for the car that the engine came out of.

This is my 2.5l CF2 engine. See photo below where you will see the "shelf" with the engine number is not hidden by thermostat housing. Hope yours are the same and helps? Attachment 167750

Thnaks Ade, it will be there, it's just getting access to it to be able to read it with everything bolted to the engine!
Re: Busso V6 engine numbers
It’s reasonably visible once fully plumbed Leigh, although you might need a camera! As long as the numbers match(!) donor V5 is fine. That’s what I’ll be using for mine.
