Where is the Chery engine number stamped?
2 Answers
Chery engine numbers are generally stamped on the cylinder block, specifically below the cylinder head. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate records the engine number; The car purchase invoice includes the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate states the engine number. It's 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 range, and engine models can be identical. The engine number, however, refers to the production serial number of the engine. Each engine can only have one unique engine number, and no two engines share the same number.
When helping my friend repair his Chery Tiggo, I encountered the hassle of locating the engine number stamp. I remember it's positioned on the left front side of the engine block, just below the cylinder head and near the alternator. The stamp consists of small numbers engraved into the metal, which you'll need to wipe clean of oil residue to see clearly. Since it was a used car, this number was essential for the transfer process, requiring precise recording. The location might vary across different models—for instance, the Chery Arrizo might have it on another side. I recommend letting the engine cool down before attempting this to avoid burns, and wearing gloves is also a good idea. It took me a while to figure it out; if the lighting is poor, use your phone's flashlight to inspect carefully and avoid rushing.
