Where is the engine number located on an older Volkswagen Polo?

[VanCole]

The engine number of an older Volkswagen Polo is located on a sticker on the left side of the engine, visible after opening the hood. The engine number is also found on the firewall's nameplate. 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 found through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate records the engine number; The purchase invoice of the car includes the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate also states 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, where each engine has a unique number and no two engines share the same engine number.
