The engine number of the Great Wall C50 is located on the engine block at the right rear side of the exhaust pipe, on an aluminum plate. It is generally a combination of 7 to 8 digits and English letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be viewed through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license prints the engine number, usually located on the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will state the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will state 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, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, each engine can only use one engine number and each engine's number is unique.

When I first drove the Great Wall C50, the engine number was located on the upper right side of the engine block, near the cabin side. You can see it after opening the hood—it's stamped on the metal surface, usually close to the cylinder head or below the oil filler cap. The position is relatively easy to spot, but accumulated dust might obstruct the view, so it's best to wipe it clean with a cloth. The engine number is an embossed stamp from the factory and is quite important—I needed it for vehicle registration and repairs, as it helps track service history. I recommend checking it with the engine turned off and cooled to avoid burns. If it's hard to see, use a flashlight to illuminate the side; most cars are designed this way. During routine maintenance, take a moment to confirm its location, and snapping a photo to save on your phone is handy. Some owners mention occasional obstruction by parts, but for the Great Wall C50, it's quite visible on top of the block—no need to worry about missing it.

As an enthusiast who frequently tinkers with my own car, locating the engine number of a Great Wall C50 requires accessing the engine block itself. It's typically found on the front metal surface of the cylinder block, usually close to the radiator, with the exact position possibly to the right or center. First, ensure the engine is turned off and cooled down, then open the hood and feel for raised numbers by running your hand over the surface. A small flashlight and mirror can help illuminate and view hard-to-see corners—avoid forcing any parts. The engine number serves as a unique identifier, so don't confuse it with the VIN. I emphasize checking fluid levels before DIY work; ensure the area is stable and clean off any grime before recording the number for future transfers or maintenance. Different model years of the Great Wall C50 may have slight variations, but the cylinder block area is generally consistent. Handle with care to avoid scratches. Regularly consult the manual to confirm the layout—this ensures both speed and safety when working.

From an automotive design perspective, the engine number is typically engraved on the top surface of the cylinder block or on a metal plate at the rear of the engine for quick identification during manufacturing. On the Great Wall C50, it is located at the junction between the cylinder block and the transmission, a fixed position that may be obscured by oil residue. The engine number ensures each unit is unique and is essential for warranty claims or transactions. If it becomes rusted, simply polish it with a cleaner. I advise owners to refer to the specific section in the user manual. The location is designed to be straightforward, making it time-efficient to check during routine maintenance.
