Where is the engine number located on a 2010 Skoda Octavia?

Skoda Octavia's engine number is located on the upper part of the engine, next to the intake pipe, and can be seen from the top of the engine. It is a string of numerical code. Here is some related information about the Skoda Octavia: Operation steps: Open the driver's side door, pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's leg area, and lift up the engine hood. Use the support rod to secure the hood in place, ensuring it is firmly supported to avoid any hazards, and then locate the engine. Engine number: The arrangement and content of the engine number (referring to the serial number here) vary by manufacturer. It generally includes the engine model, production date, and a randomly assigned serial number given when the engine comes off the production line. Some may also include a production location code.
When dealing with similar issues, I've found that the engine number location on a 10-year-old Skoda Octavia is quite fixed. Typically, after opening the hood, you'll find a small metal plate engraved with the number on the left front area of the engine block, near the firewall. If it's not easy to locate, try leaning over from the driver's seat—it's on a raised part of the engine block. The engine number is crucial, such as for annual inspections or insurance verification, so remember to turn off the engine and let it cool for a few minutes first. Wearing gloves and using your phone's flashlight will make it clearer. My car has been serviced several times relying on this, and the location isn't too hidden—usually in the middle-left area. If you don't see it, it might be obscured by oil stains; try wiping it off. In short, don't stress—it can be done within a minute, and safety comes first.
