That's no reason to not know the engine code.
Without both codes, we can't assume the engines are identical.

Your engine code should be something like D5244Txx where x stands for a number

Not sure if that final x or xx is marked on the block, though.
Quick look at the manuals for my09 and my10 show that yours could be t4 t5 t10 t14, t15......

what's the VIN ?

The Scrap merchant will have checked what they supplied against my reg - they've just declined to pass on the reg. number of the donor vehicle.

On my receipt it states "engine Volvo MK3 reg year 2008 Manual 2400cc diesel turbo charged Engine Number 605086."

So the only clue I have is the engine number at the end - I don't know how I can check to see what that refers to without having access to a Volvo database.

What I can say is the scrap merchant has a very good reputation with mechanics/tradesmen in the Edinburgh area - they supply a lot of garages here & returns are never an issue - I can't see there being any problem at their end.

Some injectors need coding to the ECM when replaced on some D5 variants but we still don't know what D5 engine code is being asked about so can't advise on your specific issue.

The engine code as per the cover of the timing belt is D5244T. Do they need coded for this?

The engine code of the original is D5244T. The engine serial number as per the bar coded sticker on the timing belt cover is 668454.

The only details, number wise, supplied from the scrap merchants is engine number 605086, which I'd imagine is the serial number as per the above - no doubt allocated to the same engine code?

The only number I can see is stamped on the block, at the front, in the middle, immediately below the glow plugs. I have to say the numbers don't seem to correspond with the engine numbers I've found so far: It's not in the best position to view it at the moment - I'll need to move it to get a proper look. The number was so different I was suspicious it maybe related to something else altogether.

The engine serial numbers are 668454 for the original and appears to be 605086 for the replacement. I'd suspect these both belong to the D5244T family?

That's the thing...... D5244T ended in 2005 so is definitely not your engine code.
You will need a D5244T?? (??) denotes an additional single or double digit.

Your earlier claim that the engines are definitely the same still isn't reliable so if the engine supplier is as good as you say, they will very quickly be able to give you the exact engine code they have supplied you.
