The engine number of the Sagitar is located at the junction between the engine and the transmission. Taking the 2021 Sagitar as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, a wheelbase of 2731mm, a minimum ground clearance of 108mm, and a curb weight of 1355kg. The 2021 Sagitar features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension, with a front-wheel-drive layout. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum torque of 175Nm, and a maximum power of 85kW, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I remember helping a friend check the engine number of a Sagitar before. It's usually located on the engine block itself, but the exact position depends on the model year. For older Sagitar models, the engine number is typically engraved on the side of the engine block near the cabin, specifically at the junction between the engine and the transmission. You'll need to crouch down and look from the side to find it. For newer models, it seems to have been moved to the front of the engine, near the fan area, though it can be hard to see clearly when there's a lot of dust. It's best to bring a strong flashlight when searching. Some cars may require removing the upper cover to see the stamped number. If you really can't find it yourself, you can visit a 4S shop or a repair shop and ask a mechanic for help—they can easily spot it with a lift, saving you the trouble of crawling on the ground and getting dirty.
When I transferred ownership of my Jetta last time, I had to locate the engine number. After opening the hood, look towards the end near the windshield. It's hidden on the upper left side of the engine block, with a raised combination of numbers and letters. However, the exact location varies by production batch—some are on the right side, while others require removing the air filter box to see. I recommend wearing gloves and checking when the engine is cold to avoid burns. If you can't find it, try parking in a sunny spot and using your phone's flashlight to search carefully. Alternatively, just take it to a repair shop and pay a small fee to have professionals handle it—saves time and effort.
