I own a 1995 850 Turbo and i do not know when the last time the timing belt was changed. I figure it is probably time to change it. I went to IPD's site and they seem to have everything i need except it tells me i need to know my chassis number. It says "the only fits chassis number 131155-on with AUTOMATIC (hydraulic) tensioner, NOT for MECHANICAL tensioner. If in doubt, FIND OUT by inspecting your car before ordering". Could anyone help me find out how i go about finding my chassis number? I dont think its the VIN number because it seems those numbers have no relation with my VIN number.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

 

Order from these guys... Trust me, you'll save some $$$$.

The engine is a white sticker on the timing cover.

 

Chasis# is the last 6 of the Vin.
