Enginecode: ox 552-709 ?????
Sorry I don't thing so. If this is the number near the distributor
please try scrapping this area clean!. It may be rusted and filled with
dirt. The number should start with 2 or 3 letters. These letters will
tell where the engine came from.. Example: GX is from an early A2
GOlf/Jetta, with CIS fuel system. RV late A2 90-92 Golf/Jetta Digifant
fuel system.
