VIN Decodes as:
YS3-Saab Scania AB
A-900
T-Series (Saab Internal Code)
7-2 door Convertible
5-5 speed manual gearbox
L-Turbo, 16 Valves
3-Check Character
H-1987
7-Assembled in Uusikaupunki (Finland)
004823-Production Number or Serial Number in the Model Year
This VIN number is not located on the motor. However, there is an Engine Number Tag on the block. This number should be as follows:
B-Petrol Engine
20-Swept Volume
2-Twin Camshafts
2-Saab 900
L-Turbo with Intercooler
Position 7-Variant, Probably a 1-With Knock Sensor or 3-Fuel Inj with Cat
3-USA specification
M-Manual Gearbox
H-1987
Positions 11-16 - Serial number in Model Year
So you can determine quickly if the motor is out of a car from the same year with the same setup, but you would have to call Saab to confirm if the serial number from the chassis matches that of the motor.
