Recently I downloaded mobile app "AutoDoc" on my Android phone. It seems that it has some pretty good offers on car parts, but I can't figure out on which Model category my Civic is?

Here is my Honda Civic, 1996 1.4i 66kW (Even not sure if it is 1.4i engine, but mostly I see this 1.4i 66kW, so I take it as it is it). Pictures from all sides so you can clearly see how it looks. (Sorry for dirty car or low quality pictures, these are old.)




And here is the list. For now I have selected Civic VI Sedan (EJ, EK) (06.1995-03.2001)




So I have question. 1. Which one of the list is mine? Screenshot is taken in year range it could fit. It's not actually sedan (imo) because when opening the backside of car the rear window opens as well. But when taking Hatchback it doesn't allow me to take 1.4i 66kW engine, it offers 1.4i 55kW or 1.4i S 66kW. Thats the first question. 2. What are the letters in braces (EJ, EK)?

I hope someone can help me with this, so I could write it down somewhere and it could help a lot when doing some googling.

 

EJ/EK/EG/EH etc are found in the VIN number. I don't remember exactly what position but the two letters are together and usually it requires the number right after the second letter. i.e. CDM 92-95 hatchback tends to be EH2.

 

Only letters in my technical pass' VIN are SHHMA and one U in middle somewhere.

Pop the hood and look for the engine stamp on the block.

You likely have a European Aerodeck

Read down in the "other markets" section as that car definitely does not look like a North American car.

So you have an MA 5 door.

 

It is a hatchback fastback, similar to this: https://www.drive2.ru/r/honda/4053239664633461346/

Try entering the full VIN in Lings Honda. However, it may not show up. A goggle search shows VIN SSHMA . . . for Civics at Russian sites.

 

I will give you an update later when I have more time. But I also think that it is fastback.
I am in Latvia, so it's not far from Russia. :D

 

In Lings Honda entered full VIN and it shows:
CIVIC - 1996 - KE - (KE)
CIVIC - 1996 - KG - (KG)

But after I switched the model in the app to Fastback I can see only headlights just like mine. (The hachback and sedan had oval ones).

 

There's a VIN decoder built right into the "Tools" tab at the top of the page here on H-T.

 

It shows me this:
We could not find any information for VIN SHHMA87600U120511

 

The MA shows as Fastback in your list. Your Vin indicates the chassis code is MA8.

You have the 5 door civic known as the Fastback 1994-2001.

 

For future reference, the chassis models for Honda vehicles are always registered in the 4th, 5th, and 6th octets of the VIN number.

 

Google search the bold and you have your answer.

 

Thank you guys!
