USA Engine?

[MrMotul]

Can anyone shed some light on this? I just bought a 2001 E320 CDI Estate, put my chassis number in the russian vin website and this code came up,

026 production test new engines (ECE-chassis with USA-engine) (с 19.06.1996)

I havent got a clue what it means, does anyone on here know what it means?

Any pointers would be appreciated,

Regards,

Terry.

026 = Discontinuation of spare key

026=discontinuation of spare key

I have just found this out somewhere else as well, which is odd because I have the two remote keys and two spare keys as well???

Thanks though,

Terry.
