Hi all,

Can anyone in here decode my engine number or offer some insight/experience?

I've just bought a 2000 E55 AMG and the engine number is different to what i find in the online VIN decoders, I think it's the "right" engine but the number is different, had a google but can't really find anything usueful...

VIN - WDB2100741A966043
Engine number according to VIN lookup - 113 980 60 009 343

Engine number that i see stamped on the block/transmission interface - 113 980 60 006 256

Is this anything to worry about? Possibly online VIN data is inaccurate or has this thing likely had a transplant in its history???

Any insight appreciated, thanks in advance!

The correct Engine # according to the VIN: (WDB2100741A966043), should be (113.980 60 009343),,

i think, the Engine has been replaced!!

Yes, replaced but is it the same engine? (assume so from 113.980...)

 

Yeah it's the same, just confirmed to you, it's NOT the original Engine

Excellent thank you so much for confirming!

I'm new to Mercedes this is my first ever MB car, I've been a BMW owner/hobbyist for 20+ years so it's all new to me and i'm just starting to learn

I see you are located in Abu Dhabi? I live in Dubai (UK immigrant), but probably moving to AD sometime in the next year, is there an benz owners club or any car meets in the area?
