That will be ASV, which is the code for a 110 bhp non-PD engine, just like mine. EGS is the gearbox code.
You may be looking at a build sheet
sticker, one of which will also be in the boot under the carpet. Lots of codes. The interpretation of them, as far as I can make out, goes like this:
____________________________________________________________
Here is a summary of the info I have on build sheet interpretation. The 3-character option codes are common across all VAG vehicles and the spreadsheet summarising them is nearly a gigabyte in size. There was a short list, for codes relevant to Octavia's, published on the Briskoda forum.
The build sheet is under the carpet in the boot. It will look something like this; (taken from my build sheet, with serial numbers anonymised)
Code:
G123 24-5 697289 EG I don't know what this signifies.
VSS ZZZ 1M Z 2B123456 VIN code; Chassis number 2B123456
1M28 24 1M2824 is the complete model code
TOLEDO TDI 8 SIGNA Model designation for 1M2824 in MY02
81 MNO C5M 81 = engine power in KW
ASV EGS Engine code and Gearbox code
LS5N ---- ---- KU Paint No and interior code
S5N is Imperial Blue, by the way.
After this you get a series of 3-character Option codes which indicate what options were installed at the factory.
The VIN code breaks down like this;
Code:
VSS ZZZ 1M Z 2B012345

Of course the build sheet only tells you the condition of the car when it was delivered.
The ASV engine is a non-PD engine, with a variable-vane turbocharger, the main difference between it and the original TDI 90. You should have a red I in the TDI logo.
PD engines have a red D as well. The PD engine in the Toledo of that year is a 150 bhp unit, coded ARL. Later cars could have the ASZ, 130 bhp PD engine also.
