Where is the engine number located on the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Buick Excelle is located in the engine compartment, below the direction of the engine pulley. The engine number is the unique identifier of the engine, similar to a person's ID card, with each engine having a distinct number. Engine numbers are composed of a head, middle, rear, and tail section, representing information such as the product code, number of cylinders, manufacturing details, and structural characteristics. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan produced by SAIC-GM Buick, with body dimensions of 4468mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1469mm in height. The Excelle is equipped with a 1.3-liter naturally aspirated engine across all models, with options for a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT continuously variable transmission.
As a car owner, I've searched for the Buick Excelle's engine number several times. Typically, after opening the hood, you need to look for the metal surface of the engine block in the engine compartment. The specific location is usually on the front or right side of the cylinder block, near the exhaust manifold. The number is engraved quite deeply, but if the car has been driven for a long time and accumulated dust or oil stains, it can be hard to see. I usually wipe it clean with a cloth or spray some cleaner before checking. Once, when I went to the DMV to handle some paperwork and had to verify the number, it took me quite a while to find it because it was positioned quite deep—I had to bend down and use a flashlight to see it properly. If you're also an owner and encounter a similar situation, don’t get discouraged. The design of the Excelle is fairly consistent across different model years, and the number is usually in this general location. If you’re really struggling, taking a photo and zooming in might help. Remember, this number is used for registration and maintenance checks, so it’s a good idea to glance at it occasionally during car washes to avoid frustration in emergencies. In short, with a little patience, you’ll always find it.
