How read this VIN number?


Have you tried calling a local Ford dealer around you?

Yes of course I asked our Ford dealer they asked VIN to check which spark plug I need and VIN was incorrect because they had software for Germany and US Ford cars. They can order for me spark plugs but they need exact VIN.
 
why cant they make four door rangers with turbo diesels for us? they are so concerned bout fuel mileage but they wont put diesels in our rangers. we got hosed bud.
 
If you asked them and THEY needed the VIN then why didn't you give it to them? Tell them which engine you have and they will be able to give you the correct spark plugs.

You know it’s also interesting I have 2.9 engine but 4 cylinders. And I read that 2.9 must be 6 cylinders. Yes or not?
You know at the moment they have not spark plug for Ford Ranger they have to order but for order they need VIN else they are not sure it’s the same or not.

Just because it's a 2.9 doesn't mean that it's a 6 cylinder. There are some engines with the same liter's and different amount of cylinders. If you know for a fact that you have a 4 cylinder then that's what they need to be ordered for. You're english is pretty good by the way. :icon_thumby:

I tried searching your VIN but I got nothing. Your Ford dealership should be able to tell which engine you have based off a certain number and/or letter in the VIN sequence to verify which spark plugs you need.

Ford Thailand SHOULD be able to tell you everything about your truck. I'll call my local dealer tomorrow and see if they can help in any way.
 
Thank you again, you know I wrote a week ago to Ford Thailand but they did not answer yet.
 
Take a picture of the engine. We may be able to tell you what you need to know.
