Where is the Corolla engine number located?

The Corolla engine number is located on the side of the rear end of the engine. The vehicle's factory nameplate also displays the engine number, and it is additionally recorded on the vehicle's registration certificate. Below is an introduction to the car engine number: 1. The car engine number is the vehicle identification code, where VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number. 2. According to ASE standards, the VIN code consists of 17 characters, hence it is commonly referred to as the 17-digit code. Correctly interpreting the VIN code is crucial for accurately identifying the vehicle model and ensuring proper diagnosis and maintenance. 3. The vehicle identification code serves as the car's ID number, determined based on national vehicle management standards. It includes information such as the manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. New vehicle registration certificates typically print the VIN code in the 'Chassis Number' field.
I remember when driving my Corolla, the engine number was a crucial detail for vehicle registration and verification. Usually, you can find it by opening the hood and looking on the engine block itself, such as on the side near the front, where a combination of letters and numbers is engraved. On my car, it was located near the intake manifold, sometimes covered in dust, so I used my phone's flashlight or a torch to inspect it carefully. If it's hard to find, you can refer to the vehicle manual to confirm the general area. Safety tip: Wait for the engine to cool down before checking to avoid burns. Keeping the engine area clean helps in quick identification. Once familiar with the location, I check it during every maintenance session to avoid forgetting or misremembering. This habit has saved me a lot of trouble and time.
