Where is the engine number located on the Audi A1?

The engine number of the Audi A1 is located at the bottom of the engine. The engine number is unique, as each vehicle has its own individual engine. The engine displays specific information such as the exact engine model, the vehicle's production date, and the production location code. This is crucial vehicle information that must not be altered or replaced. Taking the 2018 Audi A1 as an example, its body structure is a five-door, four-seat hatchback. The dimensions are: length 3987mm, width 1746mm, height 1422mm, with a wheelbase of 2458mm. The front track is 1477mm, and the rear track is 1471mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, a luggage compartment capacity ranging from 270 to 920 liters, and a curb weight of 1240kg.
I drove an Audi A1 for several years before, and the engine number is located on the cylinder block surface of the engine itself, usually at the lower front area, near the fan or pulley. You can find it directly after opening the engine hood—it’s best to check after the engine cools down and use a flashlight to illuminate the front section of the block. The engraved number is clearly visible, though sometimes covered by oil or dust, so clean it before checking. The engine number is crucial for vehicle inspections, insurance claims, or used car transactions. I recommend checking its readability every six months during maintenance to avoid last-minute hassles. I often remind friends not to tamper with the engine internals to prevent scratching the engraving and affecting identification.
