Hi,
I'm trying to find where on the engine to find the engine type code on a 2 litre 8 valve petrol engine from a Xantia. The Haynes book of lies says its next to the oil filter, but there is nothing there, and no recognizable code anywhere on the engine that looks like a type code.
On the chassis number plate on the left side of the engine bay there is one number X11C but have no idea if this is refering to the engine or not.
Any hints ?
Regards,
Simon

As I remember, my Xantia has the engine type on the block, its DHX which is the engine code for a XUD9TF. Its not cast into the block, I seem to remember that it was on a small plate rivetted to the block, but it may have been engraved into a cleanly machined piece of the block I'd have to check which.
It is as you mentioned, just to the right of the oil filter (as you look at the front of the car).
