I'm about to embark on changing the cambelt etc on my late '98 V40 turbo diesel but I'm bewildered as to the vast number of types of belt available. Before I make a complete hash of this can someone confirm exactly where I can find the engine (serial) number on my engine? I've found the plate above the aperture where you insert an 8mm rod to locate crankshaft TDC and it reads "F8QT" followed by "D4192T". I'm ok with this, it's confirming the engine type, no problem. These two sets of numbers are followed on a lower line by "C 060756" - is this the actual serial number of the engine? I ask because I live in SW France and am buying my parts from EuroCarParts as their prices are about half of the prices motor factors here ask! The confusion rises when ECP quote different cambelt kits before and after engine number 3535. Does this mean my car is really engine number 60756? (long after the cut off number of 3535)

Any help you can give me would be hugely appreciated, thanks.
