What is the engine number of the Hongqi H5?
2 Answers
The engine of the Hongqi H5 is independently developed and produced by FAW Group, belonging to a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the Hongqi H5 is CA4GC18TD-01, with a maximum torque of 320Nm and a maximum power of 145KW. For daily maintenance of the Hongqi H5 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when large, it precipitates from the oil, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I just bought a Hongqi H5, and the engine number is located on the side of the engine block. Just open the hood, and you'll find a small metal tag with an alphanumeric combination like CA4GC18TD. It's needed for registration and insurance when purchasing the car, and I even took a photo of it during the license plate application. Remember to operate safely—don’t touch it when the engine is hot to avoid burns. By the way, the Hongqi H5’s power delivery is quite smooth, and the 2023 model has upgraded turbocharging, making it fuel-efficient for city driving. During routine maintenance, the technician always checks it, so I recommend jotting it down to prevent loss. The engine number is the core identity of the car—losing it can cause trouble and affect the warranty. I always take a quick look before washing the car to ensure it’s not covered by dirt.
