Notes
1. A number of engines were built with the letter ‘R’ as the year of manufacture code. In the middle of January 2008, the year of manufacture code
was changed to the letter ‘S’. If your full engine serial number ends with the letter ‘R’, Perkins Engines Company Limited will recognise the full
engine serial number.
2. represents current manufacturing facilities
If the letter ‘R’ appears after the country code this represents a remanufactured engine (ie UR = UK remanufactured engine)
