Porsche Engine Serial Number Decoder

The 356 and 912 serial number database site has been online continuously since October 2000, and currently provides information on 356, 912 and 912E models. The database can be searched by car serial number (VIN) or engine serial number. If there are no specific results shown for a given number, it is because that information is not in the. PORSCHE VIN DECODER Websites Stuttcars.com. Provides a technical overview of Porsche cars and how to decode Porsche using VIN and serial number. Goes back to Porsche 356 in 1948. Porsche VIN Decoder. Vindecoderz.com is a free Porsche VIN decoding site. The site gives its users information like the model year of their Porsche, the manufacturer. SC Owners Manual Buying an 911?

The number always starts with 406 and the four subsequent digits are the sequential serial number of the 2099 Porsche 912E vehicles that were ever made. The earlier Porsche 914 engines followed the standard VW engine code scheme. The first, and most obvious one, is the serial number, which uniquely identifies each engine. It is on the 'third piece' of the case, or timing cover, below the generator stand (or on the generator stand if you have an early 2-piece engine case), You will also find an engine type identifier, which was Porsche's internal code to designate the. A VIN number is a 17 character alpha/numeric serial number unique to each vehicle, by manufacturer, make, model and year. Each character in the VIN number can be decoded to determine where the car was built, what year, which automotive features are included and more. Together, all the VIN numbers create a history about your Porsche.

Ferdinand Porsche founded his company Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche GmbH, Konstruktionen und Beratungen für Motoren und Fahrzeugbau in April 1931 in Stuttgart^[1]. The company established a numeric record of projects known as the Type List. Initially, the list was maintained by Karl Rabe. This list gives great insight in the broad range of Porsche's activities over the years. The first number was Type 7, presented in such a way that Wanderer-Werke AG did not realize they were the company’s first customer^[2]. The first entries in the list are designs by Porsche before the company was founded and therefore these do not have a Type number. The designs up to number 287 are from the period leading into WWII when the company was based in Stuttgart. Type number 288 is the first of the Gmünd period where the company was relocated as part of the program to disperse companies outside big cities to prevent damage from the allied bombing campaign. In 1950 the company moved back to Stuttgart and makes a new start with Type 500, skipping a large part of the 400 range. Most numbers in this range are used up to the point where the initial designation for the 911 was chosen: number 901, skipping a large part of the 800 range. At this stage the practice of allocating a separate number to each component design (e.g. chassis, gearbox or engine) was abandoned and the numbers are used for entire projects.
