So where is the engine vin code?
Does the engine have a vin code stamp?
Is it suppose to match the vin on the car? Where is it? Just wondering if my motor is the original motor or not. Thanks |

To answer your second question, no, the engine number does not match the car vin number.
I got a surprise when I checked my engine number. The engine had been replaced in 2006 with an M97 engine (the car's a 2003 S). The guy I bought the car from was not aware of this (he said). So my engine has 35,000 fewer miles than the rest of the car, not a bad thing. |
hmm.. so how does one find out if the motor is the original one or not?

I did a search and found it somewhere, either here or on Google. One of the letters in my engine number indicated a remanufactured by Porsche engine. There was a thread somewhere on this forum that I started.

I think I remember reading a thread about the reman engines had blue paint markings on them somewhere

From what I understand, a while back Porsche stopped tracking engine numbers along with VIN. They now consider the engine to be a replaceable part. So, after a certain date, there is no such thing as a "numbers matching" Porsche. I think all Boxsters fall into that category.
