There's a thread somewhere that explains what it all means but I can't find it

Basically the first letter is to do with emissions I think, the the the to numbers stand for engine size i.e 10-1.0 12-1.2 16-1.6 etc. I can't remember what the last letters stand for though but I'll keep looking for the thread

The first digit of the code relates to the emissions regs the engine meets.

Z = euro 4
Y = euro 3
X = euro 2
C = euro 1

Cars made before the emissions regulations have no letter at the start of the code.

The next 2 digits are the capacity.

For example, the 20 in C20 XE means 2 litre.

The next letter is the compression ratio.

G = 8 to 8.5:1
L = 8.5 to 9:1
N = 9 to 9.5:1
S = 9.5 to 10:1
X = 10 to 11.5:1
Y = 11.5+:1

The next digit relates to the fuelling.

D = diesel
E = multi-point injection
Z = single-point injection
V = carburettor

Some engines have an extra code at the end, if they are different from normal

For example:

H = high output
R = increase output
T = turbo
V = volume model
P = twinport
