The engine number of the Besturn X80 is located in: 1. On the left side of the engine exhaust pipe, on the engine block, where it is displayed; 2. On the vehicle's driving license; 3. On the vehicle's nameplate, all of which will be marked. To check it, the driving license is the most convenient option. Taking the Besturn X80 2018 Live Edition 1.8T Automatic Luxury model as an example, its body dimensions are 4620mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1695mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2675mm. It is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The front suspension type is a double-wishbone independent suspension with a stabilizer bar, and the rear suspension type is a multi-link suspension with a stabilizer bar.
I remember when driving the Besturn X80, the engine number was located on the engine block under the front hood. Usually, after opening the hood, there's a small metal plate on the front right side or the front face of the engine where the number is engraved. When I bought my first car, I had to look for it—it took some time crouching down to inspect carefully, sometimes even needing a flashlight for better visibility. The engine number is crucial for vehicle registration or transfer, much like a car's ID number. If you can't find it, you can check the user manual or registration documents, as they always have it recorded. During regular maintenance, pay extra attention to keeping that area clean to prevent oil and grime from covering the numbers. In short, just spend a few minutes opening the hood and observing closely, and you'll easily locate it.
As someone who frequently works with vehicles, I find the engine number location on the Besturn X80 quite standard. After opening the front hood, look down at the right side of the engine where there's a metal plate with the engine number engraved on it. Be cautious when searching as there are many wires in the compartment that shouldn't be damaged. This number is commonly used for maintenance or insurance purposes to verify the vehicle's authenticity. I recommend taking regular photos as backup to prevent rust or wear from obscuring it. If lighting is poor, a phone flashlight can help. Remember, it's usually near the VIN but don't confuse the two - they're different. A simple check can save you a lot of hassle.
