Where is the Cadillac VIN stamp located?
2 Answers
Cadillac's VIN stamp is located on the right front shock absorber upper mount, while the engine number is on the left side of the engine, at the junction between the oil pan and the engine block. Below is relevant information about the vehicle VIN: VIN definition: The VIN, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code that serves as the car's identification. Each vehicle has its own unique VIN. VIN composition: The letters and numbers in the VIN represent information such as the vehicle's production region, manufacturer, production year, model, etc.
I've been driving a Cadillac for several years and am very familiar with locating VIN numbers. The most common location is at the bottom left corner of the windshield, visible from outside the vehicle - that 17-digit alphanumeric combination. There's also an embossed stamp on the passenger side door sill - just open the door and look down at the metal threshold plate at the base of the B-pillar. For older models like the CTS, you'll find raised stamped codes on the engine compartment firewall, though you'll need a flashlight to read them clearly. During used car transfers, inspectors typically prefer to use the stamped numbers near the spare tire well - just lift up the trunk mat to access them. Important reminder: All these VIN locations must match perfectly. If you notice any stamped numbers have been ground off or don't match, be extremely cautious as it might indicate a salvaged vehicle.
