Okay, trying to find the correct parts for my engine before I order them (specifically an Oil Seal Kit and a Timing Belt Kit), but I can't determine exactly what Engine is fitted to my car.
It was built 08 Dec 1986, is a UK RHD and the original build sheet gives the Engine Type as a M44/05 (later 8v NA engine). The original Engine number on the build sheet is 41H00476 which agrees with this however...
When my local garage tried ordering parts from Porsche using the VIN the wrong parts turned up. When I looked closer at the actual engine number it reads M44/MA, which as far as I can tell is a replacement/remanufactured Factory engine:
My dilemma is if it has had an M44/04 or earlier engine fitted to replace the original M44/05, then there's a load of part numbers which will be different. How can I definitively tell? Here are a few more photos:
Cover reads 944 105 041 00
Any help appreciated before I go throw a wedge of cash for the wrong parts!
