Where is the engine number located on a Xiali 1.0?
2 Answers
The engine number of a Xiali 1.0 is located near the exhaust pipe, at the point where it contacts the gearbox. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license contains the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will include the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will also state the engine number. It's important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer's range, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine. Each engine can only have one engine number, and every engine's number is unique.
I've been driving a Xiali 1.0 for many years. The engine number is usually located on a metal plate on the right side of the engine block, specifically at the bottom of the engine compartment near the cylinder head. If you want to find it yourself, first open the engine hood and wipe the surface with a clean cloth, as it's often covered in oil and hard to see. The engine number is a combination of letters and numbers, which is very important, such as when transferring registration or during maintenance. If you can't find it, don't worry—you can use your phone's flashlight for better visibility, but be careful not to get burned when bending down to look. There are many models of older cars like the Xiali, so the exact location might vary slightly, but it's generally located beneath the engine. During maintenance, I've noticed it's prone to rust, so regular cleaning helps with quick identification next time. If you're really unsure, just go to a repair shop where a professional mechanic can help you out to avoid mistakes. It's also helpful to keep a record book in your car and stick a memo with the engine number inside—it makes inspections much easier in case of emergencies.
