3 Answers
The engine number of the Changan Alsvin V3 is located at the lower part of the cylinder block, on the side connected to the exhaust pipe and transmission. You can find the engine number next to the engine model number, which typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle license shows the engine number, usually located on the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate records the engine number; The car purchase invoice indicates the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate states the engine number. It should be noted 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 range, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine. Each engine can only have one engine number, and the number of each engine is unique.
I've been driving the Yuexiang V3 for quite a while and know that the engine number is usually located under the hood, specifically on the front part of the engine block. For example, on the right side near the windshield, if you open the hood and look from the front of the car, you might see an aluminum cylinder block or a nameplate with numbers engraved on it. The numbers aren't very large, so you'll need to look carefully. When searching, it's recommended to turn off the engine and let it cool down, then wipe away any accumulated dust or oil stains with a cloth. Using a flashlight can make it easier to find. The location is decently designed, unlike some car models where it's hidden too deep. If you really can't find it, don't panic—try checking the user manual or ask a car-savvy friend for help. The engine number is important for things like insurance or selling the car, so make sure to check it regularly and keep it from being obscured.
The location of the engine number on the V3 Yuexiang is primarily concentrated in the front area of the engine block. Based on my own observations of this car's design, the number is usually engraved on the upper right or slightly front center of the engine after opening the hood. Sometimes it's partially obscured by other components, requiring you to lean in for a closer look. If the lighting is insufficient, using a phone flashlight can help. The number is small and stamped with steel engraving, so avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damage. This serves as the engine's ID, and it's required for registration during vehicle purchase or transfer at the DMV. As a side note, cleaning the engine compartment can prevent the number from being buried in dust, which might complicate future identification.
