Yup. Just checked. Its the B230ET (same as mine).

engine number recognition
 

your vin/chassis number will reveal exactly which engine is fitted.
below is how to read your vin number, and the relavant information.

which engine
 

Lift the bonnet and just behind the timing belt casing on the right hand side of the engine as you look at it you will see it engraved on the engine block just under the cylinder head. You may have to give the block a wipe first to see it

thanks for the info ,I have had disputes galore about what engine is in one of our cars , now we know it is the B28E only done 170,000

dude, if its a 1988 2.3 turbo 740 its a b230et.

Why has this thread got 5 stars ranking?

John, just leave the type blank, I can fill it in when I get your form, provided the full 17 digit VIN is quoted.

All the best, Peter.
