Engine number

[Jbs]

Hi maybe a long shot I have a engine from a 2009-2011 A4/5 is there any way of getting a registration number from the engine number? Audi dealer wasn’t much help, or anyone recognise the number from your v5 CDN 163770 .

was told it only had 36k on it but failed to provide the proof. 
 

any help would be appreciated.

Hello James,

Thanks for being in touch. 

Being realistic:- Would you recognise the engine number of any car you have owned? Or, indeed the VIN?

Whoever sold you the engine would probably (should?) know the registration number of the vehicle it was removed from, so the answer should be there. Sounds as if it isn’t. 

Who should be capable of cross referencing engine numbers to registration numbers? Obviously - DVLA. Chances of getting this information? - unfortunately nil, I would think. 

Still, questioning the forum must be better than not asking. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
