[V6-12v] AAH or AFC engine?

[Tom Christiansen]

Hi,

I believe the routing of the accessory belt was changed. Some pulley was 
removed. You can probably find more info on www.12v.org (hope I recall the 
address correctly).

Unless someone swapped the engine out on your car, you should be able to 
tell which engine it has by looking at the label in the well for the spare 
wheel. The only way to tell for sure is to look at the mounting point for 
the power steering pump. Supposedly it says AAH if it's an AAH engine... I 
also recall something about a punch mark somewhere if it's an AAH engine. 
Consult the Bentley manual for details.
