In technical database exports, the "Motor ID" is a purely numeric integer (e.g., 23934 ). Software developers using the TecDoc API must be careful not to confuse this database index with the actual "Engine Code" (e.g., 1KZ ) needed by mechanics.
Viele Bauteile ändern sich innerhalb desselben Motorcodes. Nur die Motornummer zeigt an, welches Teil tatsächlich verbaut wurde. tecdoc motornummer
A vehicle model (e.g., a VW Golf IV) might have 20 different engine options (1.4 petrol, 1.9 TDI, etc.). The TecDoc Motor Number isolates the exact technical specification: In technical database exports, the "Motor ID" is
It is important to distinguish between the "Motor Number" in the database and the physical stamping on the engine. Nur die Motornummer zeigt an, welches Teil tatsächlich

Always verify the Motor Number physically on the engine block if possible, rather than relying solely on the registration documents, as engines may have been swapped in older vehicles.
While TecDoc uses internal numeric IDs for database management, the industry widely recognizes the "K-Number" as the standard visible motor ID.
