Where is the engine number located on an Audi A6?
1 Answers
The engine number of an A6 is located on the lower left side of the engine, near the flywheel position. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the attributes of the engine. It is used to represent information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, production process, intended use, and batch of the engine, including details like fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose vehicles are required to display the professional manufacturer, model, and production number of the engine as per regulations. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's product line, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, refers to the unique production number assigned to each individual engine, and no two engines share the same number. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Prefix: Includes product series codes, generation symbols, and regional or corporate codes. These are selected by the manufacturer as needed, using appropriate letters, but must be approved and documented by the industry-standard regulatory body. Middle section: Consists of symbols representing the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Suffix: Comprises symbols indicating structural features and intended use. End: Distinguishing symbols. When differentiation is required within the same product series due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer selects appropriate symbols to denote these changes. The suffix and end may be separated by a hyphen (-).
