Can someone please help me to locate where the engine number is stamped on an AGG 2.0L petrol engine? My car is a Golf Cabriolet 2000 with an 8V AGG engine.

I have to take the car for an inspection and they will be looking for the engine number. I am trying to locate it before taking it and then clean the area a little bit so I don't have to spend a lot of time at the inspection center. If they cannot find it then I will have to go through quite a bit of trouble. Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, I am looking for the stamped engine number on the block as they won't accept the engine number printed on labels or any other places.

Thanks a gain.

Should be on the portion of the block facing the front of the car, near or under the cooling system flange located just off-center and under spark plugs, but above the oil filter stand. Look for a flat surface that sticks out from the block, that will have the number you're looking for.
