Silly Engine question

Post by tercelerator »

Which engine do I have (so I can get correct intake manifold gasket)?
Or how do I tell?
2006 2WD base automatic

8 1.8L MFI DOHC
or
L 1.8LMFI DOHC

Thanks for you time,

The letter corresponds to the 8th digit of your VIN (from viewtopic.php?t=604 )

Your base 2006 automatic has the Toyota 1ZZ engine, which is "8 1.8L MFI DOHC"

The GT with 6 speed manual is the 2ZZ engine, "L 1.8LMFI DOHC"

i don't know the VIN/engine codes for the 09-10 Vibes

It is an "8" on the 2zr engine for the 09/10 so it looks like the GTs get the L

For the 2009-10 GT's the eighth digit is "zero" !
