The engine number for a Citroen C5 is typically found on a metal plate on the engine block, near the oil filter. It is a 10-character code that is made up of letters and numbers. The first two characters are the engine code, which indicates the type of engine and its displacement. The next four characters are the production code, which indicates the year and month the engine was manufactured. The last four characters are the serial number of the engine.
