Sticker on top of engine info

[SexyLexi]

Hello all hope you are doing well!

 

I was wondering if anyone knows what this sticker is to do with? Im a little confused because it is dated 2011 even though my car is a 2008

 

Any help appreciated!

Or maybe its January 2008 (01/08) and the 2011 is a coincidence

I asked the same question myself 3 years ago:

As you can see from the replies, it appears that the 2011 on yours is just a coincidence and the date of manufacture was Jan 2008.

Mine, on the other hand, as you can see somehow ended up being March 2012.  Still not sure how that happened...

Thank you very much! I was a little happy for a second there thinking i had a more reliable newer engine 😞

Does that relate to a part that was replaced maybe - possibly the cam belt on an IS200 as they were not chains?
