What procedures are required for changing the engine number?
2 Answers
To change the engine number, the vehicle owner must apply for a change of registration with the vehicle management office within ten days after the change. They need to fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form," submit the required legal documents and proofs, and have the vehicle inspected. Relevant information about car engines is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, acting as the heart of the car. It determines the vehicle's power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines. 2. Classification: Based on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid engines, among others.
As an experienced mechanic, I often assist car owners with the procedures for changing engine numbers. This is usually necessary when an engine is scrapped or a new one is installed. First, you need to prepare the vehicle registration certificate, the original ID of the owner, and the vehicle license plates. If the engine is being replaced due to damage, you must also bring the scrapping certificate of the old engine. Then, visit the local vehicle management office to fill out an application form and submit the required documents. You may also need a certification from the police to prove the engine's legal origin and avoid suspicion of illegal modifications. The entire process costs approximately 200 to 500 RMB, depending on the region. Once approved, the vehicle management office will update the registration information and issue new license plates or labels. This process usually takes 2-3 working days, and I recommend making an appointment in advance to avoid long queues. Don’t forget to check if the new number matches the vehicle model to prevent inspection failures. If the procedures are not completed properly, driving on the road may result in fines or towing, which can be troublesome. In short, safety and compliance are top priorities, and hiring a reputable shop to handle the process for you can save a lot of hassle.
