Good day esteemed fellow vw fans,
Kindly assist me in identifying these parts:
1. Engine with code SFDR.
2. Engine with code SFH.
3. Gearbox with code SFAS.
4. Gearbox with code 7229756 and no letters. Looks almost identical to the SFAS box.
5. Gearbox with code SFAB.
A question. Is there a way to check engine and VIN numbers before buying?
I.e. that it is not stolen.

According to this page

The AC means your gearbox is for a 1500 Beetle. I would assume the SF is for South Africa.
