Where is the engine number located on a Toyota RAV4?
2 Answers
Toyota RAV4's engine number is located on the engine cylinder block or engine cover, with the model designation 6ZR. The position of the engine number varies among different manufacturers, and it can be used to indicate information such as the engine's production company, specifications, performance, features, technology, intended use, and production batch. The Toyota RAV4 is a model under the Toyota brand, with body dimensions of 4265mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1705mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2660mm. The vehicle comes standard with features including VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), 6 airbags, TRC (Traction Control System), HAC (Hill-start Assist Control), and an automatic limited-slip differential.
When inspecting my Toyota RAV4, I found that the engine number is typically engraved on the engine block, most commonly located near the top or front area of the engine. After opening the hood, some dust or dirt may need to be cleaned off for a clear view; sometimes it is printed on a small metal plate attached to the side of the block. This number serves as a unique identifier for vehicle registration or maintenance records. It's best to look for it during daylight or with a strong flashlight to avoid slipping. Note that there might be slight variations in different model years of the RAV4—for example, pre-2010 models often have it on the front left side of the engine, while newer models may position it more to the right, but the essence remains the same. Safety first: avoid touching hot metal parts to prevent burns when the engine is warm.
