Normally they were the early 92/93 engines, if you have a much later car then the chances are it isnt.

ste98turbo that pic a great help thanks

Unfortunately majority of the import CDB's got ripped out on import or at some failure in their life. But they will range from 1992 to 1996.

But you could be one of the lucky ones, you will find the hatchings as pictured above by ste98turbo behind the alternator.
