These numbers must be indicated when ordering spare parts. The plant is constantly working on modernizing car models and the spare parts supplier can sell spare parts suitable for your Carina only by knowing the specified numbers. In the TOYOTA distribution network, the numbers of all spare parts are available on microfilm and modifications of parts are determined only on the basis of chassis and engine numbers.
