The engine model number of the Changan Alsvin can be found on the vertical side of the engine. Below is a related introduction to the Changan Alsvin: 1. The Alsvin is equipped with a BLUE-CORE JL475Q7 SOHC-16V 1.5L all-aluminum engine. It has a maximum power of 72KW and a maximum torque of 137N·m, which can be achieved at 3500 rpm, making it a low-speed, high-torque engine. 2. The Changan Alsvin does not come with an engine guard plate as standard. The design of an engine guard plate primarily prevents mud from covering the engine, which could lead to poor engine cooling. Additionally, it protects the engine from damage caused by impacts from uneven road surfaces during driving. Through these design features, it extends the engine's service life and avoids breakdowns due to external factors damaging the engine during travel.
As someone who often works on cars myself, when helping friends find the Changan Alsvin engine model, I always check the engine bay directly. First, open the hood. There's usually a small metal plate on the right side or top of the engine block, engraved with a series of numbers and letters like JL478QE. If it's obscured by grease or dust, just wipe it clean with a cloth—the location is designed to be obvious and doesn't require any tools to access. This information is crucial, especially when replacing spark plugs or engine oil, as it ensures the parts match and prevents malfunctions. I also recommend checking it periodically for rust or damage, and verifying it when buying a used car to avoid fraud. Remember, this number also appears on the vehicle certification, but checking it in the engine bay is more convenient and direct.
I just bought a car and am not very familiar with the location of the Changan Alsvin engine model, but the manual states it's on the vehicle specifications page of the user manual. I checked and indeed verified there's a model number starting with JL. If you want to find the physical location, open the engine hood, be careful not to touch hot components, and look for a metal label near the left fan area where it's attached. Don't panic if you can't find the model number; the 4S shop can check their system to tell you what engine it is. Knowing it might not be very useful, but repair shops often ask, and it's troublesome if parts don't match. It's best to note it in your phone or take a photo for records.
