Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone tell me if there is somewhere else the engine serial number is located other than on the block at the side of the underside. I was told the car had a replacement/donor engine when I bought it, but I think the logbook was never updated to reflect this. Unfortunately the highly trained craftsman who put the number on the engine managed the stamp it on the edge so it is almost impossible to read it.

POST 2Original post

They are very difficult to read. You usually need to get underneath with a small wire brush or emery cloth to clean up the plate. If the engine serial number starts with AT (AusTousch) it means it is a factory rebuild. That's the only place on the car it is recorded.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I believe the engine came from a donor car, and was not a new replacement. I shall have another good look and clean of the engine stamp and hopefully be able to read it. Thanks
