The engine number is stamped on the block near the oil filter.

The only change was the cambelt tensioner backing plate

   I'd check with Mr. autostuff18 that the kit will fit your engine before you make a bid as your engine appears to be outwith the bounds i.e. for a x25e engine the numbers are 08300419--->08578511.

Cheers

Also allways check the actual block/engine to confirm a number.  Ok ringing a Vx dealer on newer cars if you know the history of the car.  But older and high mileage cars could have had an engine change.  :y
