ENGINE IDENTIFICATION

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and need some help identifyng my engine. I thought it was a 1.5 Diesel but I can't find any engine number or engine size markings on the engine.

The only thing I've found is that when I went to change the timing belt, it has a 135 tooth belt and I thought if it was the 1980 model that I thought it was it should have had a 121 tooth belt.

Can anyone shed any light on my problem.
Thanks

Just found the engine number DCK 223 176

Don't go by and markings on the outside of the engine block, I guess diesel engines are the same, there should be a code stamped just below cylinder 3.

Then check code on here.

On my 1.5 D  there was a stamping on the block back side near the Tranny that has 1.5 and a D under it.

It was hard to see with the exhaust manifold in place, as well as the down pipe.

Once I saw it, I knew.  But I also knew what the OEM window sticker said and what I ordered it that it came with.
