What is the difference between a vehicle identification number and an engine number?
1 Answers
Vehicle identification numbers and engine numbers are not the same. The vehicle identification number (VIN), commonly referred to as the frame number, can be found in the vehicle information section of your vehicle registration certificate. The engine number, listed as Engine No. on the registration, is stamped on the engine block, while the VIN is stamped on the vehicle's frame. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the methods mentioned above, the engine number can also be located through the following four ways: The vehicle registration certificate contains the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will specify the engine number; The car purchase invoice will list the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will indicate the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, is the production serial number of the engine. Each engine is assigned a unique engine number, and no two engines share the same number.
