Today since ive learned that there is a number on the right cylinder head. So i went out to have a look and i found this number: V0826CHB i think i got it right but i was so hard to see. Now what can you read from this number???

Scania, check on the block on front of the engine on the right hand side where the head and block meet. There will be a little lip there with hopefully the same VIN as the one on your dash as long as motor is original. Hope this helps
