abf or kr

hi,
i am buying a 2.0l 16v engine from someone and he does not know if its kr or abf! nor does he know if it came from mk2 or 3 as it was already in his mk1 when he bought it. please can anyone advise me on how to find out? i presume it will be on engine somewhere.

also if it is kr is it as good as the abf?

many thanks in advance, matt :dontknow:

If its a 2 ltr then its a much modded kr as they come in a 1.8 size, maybe a 9a? which is really a 2 ltr kr except for the camshafts, i prefer the abf as its newer and has the crankshaft position sensor wheel.

:dontknow:

could always check for big 1.8 or 2.0 on the block. i think its on the front near the starter motor. would clear up the size.
id go for 2.0 makes sense to go bigger!
abf/9a/6a are the 2.0 valvers

No its not on the front…

The engine size is embossed on the rear lower center of the block, will say 1.8 or 2.0

Back then!

cheers guys
