In general with VW engines, the engine number (check your V5c) should have the 3-letter engine code at the end of it. There's often a sticker on the cambelt cover with it on as well.

Thanks....

To be more specific, I was meaning output and if it was a PD unit :S

Service book, engine block and v5 all have the 3 letter engine code.

Wikipedia lists the engine codes against the different models (some models use multiple engines with the same power output)if you are stuck finding the information just look up skoda octavia.

Just wiki'd the engine and I have code ALH, anything in particular I need look out for with this?

Nope, mine is a hatchback, love the gaping chasm of a boot

Equally love the power build-up as the blower spools up!!!
