Where is the chassis number stamp for the Touareg V6 vehicle inspection located?
2 Answers
The chassis number stamp for the Touareg V6 vehicle inspection is located on the firewall behind the engine. Method to locate the stamp position: The engine compartment lock switch for the Touareg is located near the driver's left leg area in the cabin. Pulling this switch will release the engine compartment lock. After unlocking, lift the front cover of the engine compartment to open it. Use the hydraulic strut to prop up the engine hood, revealing the engine compartment layout where you can find the chassis number (which is the same as the engine number stamp for the Touareg). About the chassis number stamp: There is a VIN code stamp on the vehicle's frame structure. When registering at the vehicle management office, professional staff will make a rubbing of this VIN code stamp.
I drove a Touareg V6 for several years and had to locate the VIN stamp multiple times during vehicle inspections. It's engraved at the lower left corner of the windshield, clearly visible through the glass as a string of numbers and letters, making it quick and convenient. If it's not there, it must be in the engine compartment. Open the hood and check the front passenger side near the wiper deflector or shock tower. There's a metal body part with the stamped VIN, but you'll need to squat down and use a flashlight to find it due to poor lighting, which can make it easy to miss. The inspector mainly verifies that this stamp matches the number on the vehicle registration document, so make sure it's not dirty or damaged, or you'll run into trouble. Last time, I wasted time because I didn't have tools and couldn't see clearly, so I recommend bringing a small flashlight in advance. If you can't find it, don't panic—ask an experienced driver or check the manual, and you'll figure it out. Nowadays, new car designs generally fix these locations.
