Well i thing you should all read this from MAHLE:


In the inside of every MAHLE - Piston you can find a casting number.
This number consists out of two numbers, then a letter and again two numbers.
From the letter you can find out of what kind the piston is:

D... Duotherm piston
F... Squeeze-cast piston
KB... Ferrotherm piston
L... Solid skirt piston
P... Forged piston
V... Auto-/Hydrothermik piston/
Auto-/Hydrothermatik piston

For example: A piston with the casting number 96 P 26 would be a forged piston.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards
