Engine stamp authenticity
Hi All,
I bought a 2016 5L that’s been exported, crash repaired.
I bought it purely as the mileage was 76k. Since buying I’m having a few problems you’d get on engine with a lot more miles.
Im now thinking it’s not the original engine. I’ve located the engine serial number, to be fair it looks like a 5 year old child made it…….
Does it look right?
