Tecdoc — Motornummer

As the industry shifts toward electric vehicles (EVs), the concept of the Motornummer is evolving. For EVs, TecDoc has introduced the EMotor Number (Electric Motor Number). The logic remains identical: different electric motors (e.g., HA0001 vs. HA0002) have different bearings, cooling jackets, and inverters.

Furthermore, modern TecDoc integrations now offer Photo-Based Engine Recognition. Using a smartphone camera, a mechanic can snap a picture of the engine bay. AI identifies the engine code and automatically populates the Motornummer field in the catalog. This reduces human error to nearly zero. tecdoc motornummer

In most TECDoc front-end software (like TecAlliance’s "TEC-Centric" or third-party DMS): As the industry shifts toward electric vehicles (EVs),

Input the complete Motornummer. The system will validate it against manufacturer data (if available).

Engines like the Ford Duratorq (2.0 TDCi) have both belt and chain versions depending on production date. The engine number reveals the exact revision. Using only model year can lead to wrong kit. Input the complete Motornummer

Mobile TecDoc apps now allow camera capture of engine number stamps, auto-conversion to text.

If you type your engine code and get "No Result," check the following:

If an engine was repaired under a factory recall (e.g., updated timing chain tensioner), the original engine code remains the same, but the internal parts specification changed. Using the Motornummer in TECDOC shows you the current state of the engine, not just the theoretical build sheet.
