I'm trying to find the engine model of a 2008/2009 Mitsubishi Lancer 2l Di-D.  My mate has an oil leak and we have no idea where it is coming from, searching good old Google is not useful when talking 'Lancers' as it comes up with evo's etc.....

 

How can I find the model of the engine?  I know it's a VW lump as it says in most of the reviews.

 

Any help is appreciated

What does the v5 say? That has the engine model doesn't it?

Tried that and google brings up a grand total of 0 results.

Unless of course my friend is reading it wrong, I'm currently at work so can't go and look at the V5!

Like here for example:


CAY is a 1.6 diesel

Cheers Coco, but..... now put that into Google and see what you get, pretty much nothing

 

How do you know the CAY is a 1.6?

I did that after replying to the thread 

Will have a look at the V5 tomorrow and see what it I can find, cheers buddy

I've not got my VX v5c to hand, but I'd guess it has z22se before the engine number, so should ring true.

If you haven't got it yet, what's the reg? I'll look for you.

All sorted now, found the engine code and also sorted the oil leak!

 

Turns out the engine code is also on a sticker on the under side of the bonnet

Well done.

Well done.

In fairness to my mate who was looking it was dark! I was no where near the car when he was looking for it.

 

Good news is that the rocker cover gasket was fubar and nothing else, so a 50quid job to fix.
