Hey guys, need a quick answer if possible. Asides from the badge on the front guard, how can you tell if a VS is an Ecotec engine or not. Cos didn't they have some non-Ecotec V6 and then most Ecotec after that? Anyway, is there anyway you can tell on the engine? Like should the engine itself have Ecotec or something written on it?

Haste would be great also as we're looking at a car in like 2 hours and want to make sure
