These are Honda´s model designations.
FK1: 5 door 1.4 petrol
FK2: 5 door 1.8 petrol
FK3: 5 door 2.2 diesel
FN1: 3 door 1.8 petrol (Type S)
FN2: 3 door 2.0 petrol (Type R)
FN3: 3 door 2.2 diesel (Type S)
These codes are part of the VIN.
VIN is Vehicle Identification Number. Read more about VIN on Wikipedia.
The VIN can be found on a metal plate inside the lower part of the windshield.
For example:
SHH FK376 07U000258
Is a 5 door 2.2 diesel (FK3) from Model Year 2007 (07).
SHH is Honda Swindon UK, the plant where the car is built. |
using Foggy's number:
and the Wiki Link
1/2/3 Manufacturer = SHH
4/5/6/7/8 Vehicle attributes = FK376
9 Check digit = 0
10 model year = 7
11 plant code = U
12-17 sequential = 000258
out of all of that, the possibles for manufacture month would be
digits 7/8
or getting hold of Honda's build lists to work out which sequential nos (per model) were built when...
