Where is the engine number located on the Jinbei Xiaohaishi?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Jinbei Xiaohaishi vehicle is located on the middle right side of the engine, near the oil filter. 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 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license will have the engine number printed, usually on the second-to-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 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 lineup, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine. Each engine can only have one engine number, and the number for each engine is unique.
Last time I helped a friend locate the engine number on his Jinbei Haise, it was quite a challenge—it's hidden on the side of the engine near the transmission, usually on a small metal plate visible when you open the hood, engraved with a combination of letters and numbers. Why so concealed? Mainly for anti-theft purposes and to avoid accidental damage, but it's essential to read clearly during vehicle transfers or annual inspections. I carefully shined a flashlight on it and recommend cleaning off dust and grease first, as dirt tends to accumulate there, making the number hard to read and causing delays; if you're unfamiliar, don't scrub forcefully—it's best to visit a professional shop to avoid damaging engine components. By the way, after driving this model for over a year, I've found it convenient to check during routine maintenance—the engine number is part of the vehicle's identity, so don't wait until problems arise to scramble looking for it.
