Where is the engine code located on the BAIC BJ40?

The engine number of the Beijing BJ40 is located as follows: Open the hood and find the nameplate, which is generally on the fan frame at the front of the vehicle, either on the right side of the engine compartment or in the middle. It contains information such as the engine number, production date, displacement, and vehicle model. More details about the Beijing BJ40 are as follows: 1. In terms of appearance, the BAIC BJ40, with its hardcore SUV style, features many right-angle designs, exuding a strong masculine vibe. 2. For the interior, as an off-road model, it doesn’t have overly luxurious decorations. The simple and rugged design style is reminiscent of the "Wrangler." The switches for the windows and central locking are designed as toggle levers, giving a very retro feel. 3. In terms of power, the BJ40 is equipped with a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 105kW and a maximum torque of 217Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The new vehicle also features a mechanical part-time four-wheel-drive system and adopts a body-on-frame structure. Additionally, the Beijing Jeep BJ40 has a five-link non-independent rear suspension, providing better support for extreme off-roading.

Last time when helping a friend inspect a car, I encountered this issue - the BJ40's engine number is indeed quite well hidden. The specific location is on the rear side of the engine block near the firewall, and you'll need to stick your head into the engine bay to see it. For older models, a flashlight might be necessary since that area is backlit. If there's mud buildup on the chassis or rust stains, it becomes even harder to identify - I'd recommend using a lift at a repair shop for better visibility. Off-road vehicles tend to be like this; even the Grand Cherokee's engine number is hidden in a similar spot. One important reminder though: when making a rubbing, it's best to use specialized rubbing paper as ordinary tape tends to blur the edges of the numbers.

Off-road enthusiasts all know how stubborn the BJ40 is, even its engine number plays hide-and-seek. Located at the rear side of the engine near the cabin, you'll need to remove the engine cover to get a full view. I checked it when installing my winch - the alphanumeric characters are stamped directly onto the cylinder block in font smaller than a fingernail. The scene of breathing white vapor while crouching over a cold engine in winter to find the number is all too real - better wear anti-slip gloves unless you want engine oil smell on your hands. Typical off-road vehicle behavior - even the Wrangler's engine number requires removing three screws to access.

Mechanic here: The engine numbers for all BJ40 models are located at the middle-lower part of the rear side of the cylinder block. Both the 2.0T and 2.3T models have them in this position, with the diesel version having the letter C before the numbers. The easiest way is to take a photo with your phone by reaching in—remember to turn on the flash. For vehicles with blurred numbers, spray some WD-40 and gently scrub with a steel brush to reveal them. Just handled one the other day where the owner tried scraping with a screwdriver and turned the last digit 7 into a 1. Recommend bringing a clean cloth as backup during inspections.

As a car owner's personal experience: I was scolded three times by the DMV lady when buying a used BJ40. First, the location—bend down to look behind the engine, there's a palm-sized flat surface engraved with a combination of letters and numbers. Here's the key point: for the 2017 model, you need to look above the transmission, while the newer model has it directly exposed below the intake manifold. It's best to bring a portable inspection mirror during the vehicle inspection—much more dignified than crawling under the car. Recently, people in the modification group were still discussing this and found that the diesel version's stamp is about two fingers lower than the gasoline version. Off-road vehicles really go hardcore, even the VIN stamp has its own preferred spot.

From a professional perspective: The BJ40 engine number is a unique identifier registered with the MIIT, typically engraved on the cylinder block casting plane. Its location is designed to meet anti-tampering requirements, hence positioned in the stress-bearing area at the rear of the engine. It's important to note that this number differs from the VIN chassis number—the former is an engine stamp, while the latter is located at the lower left corner of the windshield. A common misconception is using the spare part barcode on the engine rear cover as a substitute; in fact, the 8-digit code starting with '8' is the production batch number. Additionally, for China VI models, a new urea pump stamp has been added on the opposite side—don't confuse the two.
