How to Check the Last 6 Digits of the Engine Number?
2 Answers
Methods to check the last 6 digits of the engine number: 1. The engine number can be found on the engine block, though it is usually difficult to observe directly—using a lift may help; 2. Check the vehicle's driving license, where there is a dedicated section for the engine number, making it clearly visible; 3. Refer to the motor vehicle registration certificate, which records the engine number; 4. Review the car purchase invoice, as it contains detailed vehicle information, including the clearly marked engine number; 5. The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate also includes the engine number, serving as another method for verification.
To check the last 6 digits of the engine number, first open the car hood. Usually, there is a metal plate or engraved numbers on the engine block, such as near the intake manifold. Last time I checked, I noticed many cars had dust accumulation in this area, so it's necessary to gently wipe it clean with a cloth. The last 6 digits of the number sequence are crucial, as they often appear on various documents like vehicle registration certificates or insurance policies to confirm engine compatibility. If it's hard to see, using a flashlight is recommended—avoid touching directly to prevent burns or accidental damage. For different car models, the location may vary; my old car had it on the upper left corner of the engine. New car owners unsure of the location can refer to the user manual. Importantly, this number must be accurate during repairs or ownership transfers—I once experienced delays due to unclear digits. It's best to record or take a photo for future reference.
