AXX vs BWA - How to tell?

[Jons1001]

I always assumed my 2008 Jap mk5 had the BWA engine, but was just looking through the book and amongst the Jap writing i can see the letters 'AXX'. Is there any easy way of telling?

Should tell you on the passenger door pillar. Unless it's had a new engine fitted I guess
