USE OF ENGINE NO. WHEN INSTALLING RECONDITIONED ENGINES AND FACTORY-NEW REPLACEMENT 
ENGINES OR CRANKCASES - AH01.10-P-0001-01A 

All engines  

The engine number has a different legal significance in individual countries. In the Federal Republic of 
Germany, for example, it has been classified by the legislative authorities since mid-1972 as "insignificant in 
terms of traffic legislation". It is therefore no longer included in the vehicle title document and vehicle 
registration document. 

Practically all other countries continue to require the indication of the engine number on motor vehicles which 
are registered in such countries. In dealing with international traffic, the authorities proceed on the basis of the 
provisions of the country in which the vehicle is registered. 

In order to avoid any problems on the occasion of vehicle checks or when crossing international frontiers as a 
result of the lack of or incorrect engine number, the following directives have to be observed when carrying out 
repairs. 

1. Directives for vehicles which are registered in the Federal Republic of Germany 

a. In the case of vehicles for which no engine number is indicated in the vehicle registration 

document (first registration after approx. mid-1972), it is not necessary to stamp or revise an 
engine number if a replacement engine or crankcase of the same type is fitted.  

b. If an engine number is indicated in the vehicle registration document , it is possible, if an 

engine of the same type is fitted, to transfer the number of the removed component to the new 
engine, or the appropriate authority (vehicle inspection authority, vehicle registration authority) 
should be requested to delete the engine number in the vehicle title document or registration 
document. The German Federal Minister of Transport has issued appropriate ministerial orders in 
Transport Gazette 1973, p. 66.  

2. Vehicles which are registered outside of the Federal Republic of Germany 

If a reconditioned engine or factory-new replacement engine or crankcase is fitted and this is of the 
identical type, it is then necessary to adopt the engine number of the engine removed and to transfer it to 
the new engine or crankcase. 

For this reason, pay attention to the particular directives stated in Para 3 for the installation of 
reconditioned engines, crankcases and shortblocks.

number in place when the engine is removed.

3. Special directives 

3.1 Installation of factory-new replacement engine of identical type 

a. If a factory-new engine is installed and an engine number is required (e.g. vehicle registered 

outside of the Federal Republic of Germany), the number of the factory-new engine must be 
ground off and the number of the originally installed engine of identical type stamped in its 
place.  

b. If the factory-new engine is fitted with an engine type plate (older car engines) and it is 

necessary to indicate an engine number in the vehicle documents, in this case take the engine 
type plate off the engine removed and affix it at the same point on the engine of identical 
type to be installed.  

3.2 Installation of reconditioned engine of identical type 

a. The reconditioned engine plate must not be removed either from the reconditioned engine to 

be installed, nor from the engine removed, if the latter was a reconditioned engine.  

b. If the engine removed is fitted with an engine type plate (older car engines) and it is 

necessary to indicate an engine number in the vehicle documents, the engine type plate then 
has to be taken off the engine removed and affixed at the same point to the reconditioned 
engine to be installed. This plate should be affixed in addition to the reconditioned engine 
plate.  

In the event that a vehicle owner has problems on the occasion of vehicle checks or when crossing 
international frontiers because of the lack of an engine number, the workshop in question may in 
certain circumstances be held liable. 

After replacing an engine, the engine number has to be altered in the vehicle maintenance booklet 
and on the vehicle data cards as well as in the repair customer file. These documents should clearly 
show which engine is installed in the vehicle in order to ensure smooth parts service. 

In addition, the copy of the vehicle data card which is held at the Parts Department of the relevant 
Branch or Importer should also be altered. 

3.3 Model designation identification of crankcases and shortblocks  

Crankcases and shortblocks available in the parts sector are not provided with an engine model designation 
identification and also not with an engine number. 

To make it possible to identify the engine on the occasion of vehicle inspections (e.g. by an inspection authority 
when a vehicle is taken out of service or at the Customs on the occasion of importation of vehicle), the 
workshop carrying out the repairs has to stamp the engine model designation in the crankcase or the shortblock 
in the space provided for the engine number.

Extract from Transport Gazette 1973 p. 66

(applies only to the Federal Republic of Germany) 

Official Gazette of the Federal Minister of Transport 

Directive in respect of vehicle title document (VkBl 1972 p. 354) 

Bonn, 28 December 1972 

StV 2/36.15.17 

Pursuant to the directive relating to the vehicle title document dated 20 June 1972, Part C. No. 9.1, a dash 
should be inserted at the relevant point in the place of data which are no longer required in future (e.g. in the 
case of the "factory number of engine") in those instances where the older type of title documents are used for 
the preparation of the vehicle title document. 

The question which is now posed is what procedure should be adopted in respect of the vehicle title document 
or the vehicle registration document in the event that the factory number of the engine from the past is still 
entered in the older type of title documents and a replacement engine with a new number is now installed in the 
vehicle in question. Following consultation with the competent authorities in the regions, I now provide the 
following instructions: 

I. In view of the fact that the factory number of the engine is regarded as insignificant in respect of traffic 

legislation, no change requires to be made to the vehicle documents. This also does not conflict with 27 
Para 1 StVZO pursuant to which the data in the vehicle title and registration documents constantly have 
to reflect actual circumstances. This requirement namely covers only those particulars relating to actual 
circumstances which are of significance in terms of traffic legislation. This is no longer the case, 
however, in respect of the factory number of the engine.  

II. In order to spare the relevant vehicle owner any misunderstandings or indeed possible disadvantages (e.g. 

on the occasion of checks when abroad), I recommend proceeding as follows:  

In the event that the replacement engine installed has a different number than that entered in the title and 
registration document, the figures in the column "engine factory number" shall be deleted and the following 
endorsement made at a suitable point both in the title as well as in the registration document: 

"Entry of engine factory number no longer necessary". 

If the endorsement is made close to the deletion, it is sufficient to state: 

"Entry no longer required". 

The Federal Minister of Transport Ip. p.
