Is 16V dohc engine is petrol or diesel?

You can't determine if an engine is petrol or diesel based solely on "16V DOHC". Here's why:

* 16V: This stands for "16 valves", meaning the engine has 16 valves that control airflow into and out of the cylinders. Both petrol and diesel engines can have 16 valves.

* DOHC: This means "Double Overhead Camshaft", referring to the engine having two camshafts located above the valves. Again, this is a feature found in both petrol and diesel engines.

To know whether an engine is petrol or diesel, you need more information, such as:

* Fuel Type: The most obvious indicator. Look for terms like "petrol", "gasoline", or "diesel".

* Engine Code: Many manufacturers use specific codes to identify engine types.

* Model Information: If you know the car model, you can usually find out the engine type.
