Default Can't find engine Code

I've searched our database and looked in the various suggested places from the threads (engine compartment, door sticker label, sticker in rear by spare, nothing in the owners manual,
I don't have a maintenance booklet) and I do not have a sticker that indicates my engine code. Mine is a 2023 Q8 Prestige purchased new back in 2023 with about 15K miles. Oil changes every 5K, no symptoms to date.
The Audi VIN Decoder only shows Engine: 3.0 TFSI 6 Cylinder 24-Valve DOHC 335 HP -inc: start/stop system w/48V MHEV mild hybrid technology.
With all the talk of metal shavings in the oil filter, engine oil burning, etc. I'd like to know what my engine code is so I can follow the relevant threads. Any ideas where else to find my engine code?
Thanks!

The engine code for this engine should be "DCBD".
