Locate the Engine Code:
The engine code (like “CDUA,” “CYF,” “CJX”) is typically found on a sticker on the timing cover, or stamped directly on the block.
-
Check Owner’s Manual:
If the sticker is unreadable, your owner’s manual or vehicle identification sticker will have the engine code.
-
Check with a Dealership:
Volkswagen dealerships can also provide the engine code using your 17-character VIN.
- The “B” in the 5th digit of the VIN indicates the engine type, so you are looking for the 2.0L TSI engine.
- Power output and torque can vary slightly between model years and trims.
- The 2.0 TSI is a highly popular engine, and the 7-speed DSG transmission is a common pairing.
