Post by mark1882 » Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:43 am

Hi
I have a 53 plate 2.5i automatic zed and reading some vey useful information on this forum I noticed that I could have one of two engines either a M54 or N52, how do I find out which engine I have.

Apologies if I could of fond this out somewhere else on the forum without asking the question.

Thanks

As previously posted, the N52 was introduced in some of the 2006 zeds :thumbsup:
