Where is the engine number located on the Trumpchi GS4?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Trumpchi GS4 is located at the junction between the engine block and the transmission. It usually consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the method mentioned above, the engine number can also be found through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license will have the engine number printed on it, usually located 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 multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, refers to the production serial number of the engine, where each engine has a unique number and no two engines share the same engine number.
Last time I helped my friend check his Trumpchi GS4, finding the engine number was quite a hassle. For this vehicle, the engine number is primarily located on the front side of the engine block, specifically in the area where the cylinder block connects to the transmission. You'll need to crouch down and look deep inside the engine bay, near the firewall on the driver's side. It's advisable to clean off some dust first, as the number is usually engraved on the flat surface at the upper right of the cylinder block or on the side metal surface. If you still can't locate it, try checking near the engine's right-side mounting bracket—some models have it stamped on the bracket behind the alternator. Using a smartphone flashlight at an angle can make it easier to spot; sometimes, the reflection reveals the embossed steel stamp. As a last resort, the vehicle's information plate attached to the underside of the engine hood also lists the engine number—just remember to verify its consistency.
