Where is the engine number located on the Southeast Lingyue?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Southeast Lingyue is located on the cylinder block plane directly above the starter. It generally consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and English letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle license shows the engine number, usually located on the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The car purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will indicate the engine number. 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, 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.
Locating the engine number is actually quite crucial, especially for cars like the Soueast Lingyue. I've tinkered with it myself before. After popping the hood, don't rush—it's usually on a small metal plate attached to the left or front side of the engine block, near the cylinder head. You might need to wipe off some dust to see it clearly. Last time I worked on mine, it took a while; remember to use your phone's flashlight for better visibility—once you get the right angle, it becomes obvious. If you can't find it, check the owner's manual—it usually includes a diagram. The engine number matters for vehicle registration and insurance, and heavy rust can make it hard to read, so I recommend cleaning it occasionally during routine maintenance. Don’t stress—most Lingyue models have it in a similar spot, just take your time.
