Common Locations for Engine Number:
* Engine Block: The most common location is directly on the engine block itself, usually cast into the metal. It might be located on the front, side, or top of the engine.
* Engine Compartment: Look for a metal plate or tag attached to the engine compartment, often near the firewall or the front of the engine.
* Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Plate: While not the engine number itself, the VIN plate, typically found on the driver's side dashboard or doorjamb, can contain a code that can be used to look up the engine number in a database.
Tips:
* Use a flashlight: It might be hard to see the engine number, especially if it's covered in dirt or grime.
* Check the owner's manual: Your owner's manual might have a diagram showing where to find the engine number.
* Contact a Mercedes-Benz dealership: If you can't find the engine number on your own, you can contact a Mercedes-Benz dealership. They should be able to help you locate it.
Important Note: The specific location of the engine number may vary depending on the year and model of your 240D.
