Ford Focus engine number is located on the cylinder block at the interface between the engine and transmission. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be viewed through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license prints the engine number, usually located on the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The car purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will indicate the engine number. Please note that the engine number is not equal to the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, each engine can only use one engine number and each engine's number is different. The engine number consists of four parts, each representing different meanings. The first part includes the product series code, replacement symbol and local or enterprise code, which are represented by letters selected by the manufacturer as needed, but must be approved and filed by the industry standard standardization unit; the middle part consists of the cylinder number symbol, cylinder arrangement symbol, stroke symbol and cylinder diameter symbol; the rear part consists of the structural feature symbol and usage feature symbol; the tail part is the distinguishing symbol, that is, when the same series of products need to be distinguished due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer selects appropriate symbols to represent.
I remember looking for the engine number on a Focus, and it was actually quite simple. The engine number is usually stamped on the front or side of the engine block, visible once you open the hood. Common locations are the lower right or upper left metal surface, engraved with a combination of numbers and letters. Sometimes, you need good lighting to spot it clearly, and it's best to check after the engine has cooled to avoid burns. If you can't find it, the vehicle's VIN number is also on the ID plate under the windshield, but that's the overall identification code and different from the engine number. This information is crucial for vehicle inspections, insurance, or sales transactions, so accuracy is essential—don't cut corners. I've checked mine a few times, and the modern Focus design is reliable with a fixed location; with a bit of patience, you'll always spot it.
