hi
just bought a 06 jetta fsi 2L petrol turbo. had to get a VW dealer to confirm engine number for registration as RTA couldnt find it. Huge shock yesterday as engine number supposed to be bwa701175 (as per VW manufacturing database & initial registration) .... but dealer reports that whats stamped on the block (took them 2 hours to get to it) is 0277093. Possible that someone has swapped engine - but could it be possible that numbers so different (no letter prefix)?. Maybe dealer read wrong thing. Any ideas?
