Where is the engine number located on the Fiat Viaggio?
2 Answers
The engine number of the GAC Fiat Viaggio is located at the upper left side of the engine block. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked in the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually located in the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The car purchase invoice will specify the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will also indicate the engine number. It is important to note 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, however, refers to the production serial number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique number and no two engines share the same number.
Last time when I was helping a friend check the Fiat Viaggio, I specifically researched the location of the engine number. It's usually engraved on the side of the engine block, near the firewall side. Crouching down and looking from the windshield direction into the engine bay makes it more visible. The engine number typically consists of 9 to 17 characters, including letters and numbers, with relatively slender font. The location isn't conspicuous but definitely exists. The Viaggio's design intentionally placed it behind the radiator to avoid high temperature effects. I recommend operating when the engine is cold, wearing gloves to prevent hand scratches, and using a phone flashlight for better visibility. For taking an imprint, you can apply lipstick or ink paste, then press a piece of paper against it to transfer the number. This number is required for vehicle annual inspections or ownership transfers - I suggest keeping a photo of it in your phone for backup. The engine block tends to have oil stains, so it's better to wipe it clean before searching to avoid missing it. Also, don't confuse it with the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), which is located at the lower left corner of the windshield.
