Where is the engine number located on the JAC Refine M3?
2 Answers
The engine number of the JAC Refine M3 is located on the engine block, while the vehicle identification number (VIN) is situated on the front half of the chassis. It 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 four ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually found on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate records the engine number; The car purchase invoice includes the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate also states the engine number. It's 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 identical. On the other hand, the engine number is the production serial number of the engine. Each engine can only have one engine number, and every engine's number is unique.
I've worked on quite a few JAC vehicles before. To locate the engine number on the Ruifeng M3, you'll need to crouch down and carefully inspect after opening the engine hood. It's typically found on the engine block, near the transmission side, appearing as a small aluminum plate engraved with alphanumeric characters. I struggled to find it the first time too – the undercarriage space is cramped with poor lighting, so it's best to use a flashlight for illumination or wipe off any oil stains with a cloth for better visibility. This number is crucial for vehicle identification and is required for inspections and ownership transfers. Never check it while the engine is running – safety first. If you frequently perform your own maintenance, I'd recommend keeping a small inspection mirror tool in your toolbox for convenient access.
