Added. I knew I missed one - Old eyes don't work so good.

 

I have a Ford Ranger/Mazda BT-50 2007 2.5 TDCi 4 cyl diesel and would like to know the engine type for ordering some parts like fan clutch, thermostat and a waterpump. The vin number is: MNCLSFE107W628685.

 

No idea of what you have, that list is for North American vehicles only
