help with engine number please :)

Hi all
I have the 12 digit engine number of a 2.0 CDB
Does anyone know if the year of and/or car type can be deduced from the engine code.
Do the numbers mean anything?

Thanks
Steve

Thanks for your help.

That link has information I know.
This is also useful

I am not after the VIN number information.
But if an engine can be traced to a year /type of car via its 12 digit engine number as stamped on the back of the block.

Not via the obvious VIN number information.
