Audi TT's engine model is located on the side wall of the cylinder block, where there is a machined platform about 5-6 cm long and 1 cm wide with the engine number. Alternatively, some models have it on the vehicle's nameplate. The engine model is designated by the manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations or industry practices to indicate information about the engine, including the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch. The Audi TT is a sports car developed by Audi. As a sports coupe, the TT model has achieved great success in the market with its stunning appearance, almost identical to the concept car version, and outstanding performance.
In my daily maintenance work on the Audi TT, I've found that the engine model is usually located on the identification plate in the engine compartment, either on the engine cover or the side of the cylinder block. You'll see a sticker with codes like CCTA or CDL, indicating specific models such as 2.0T, etc. After opening the hood, use your phone's flashlight to locate it. If you can't find it, check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the driver's side door frame or the lower left corner of the windshield. Record the VIN and search for a decoding website online; entering the number will provide engine information. This is crucial because the model determines compatibility when replacing engine oil, spark plugs, or the turbocharger. I recommend checking it during every maintenance inspection to match repair needs and prevent potential failures, thereby extending the vehicle's lifespan. This applies to both new and old cars – it's a simple procedure that takes just a few minutes.
After buying an Audi TT, I was quite confused the first time I looked for the engine model. Then I opened the engine compartment and saw a small label on the front cover with a combination of numbers and letters, such as FVT representing a specific engine. You can also check in the owner's manual under which chapter. If you don't have the manual with you, look at the VIN code, usually located on the edge of the door frame. I downloaded a free VIN app, entered the code, and it displayed detailed information including the model code and year data. Knowing this helped me a lot, like when buying filters or exhaust parts to avoid purchasing the wrong brand parts. Beginners just need to spend some time exploring the engine compartment—don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. It’s safe, practical, and can save you money.
