Where is the engine number located on the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4T?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4T is located on the side of the engine block, typically consisting 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 contains the engine number, 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, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique engine number and no two engines share the same number.
As a Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4T owner, I often need to verify this information. The engine number is typically engraved on the engine block. After opening the hood, it is prominently displayed on the metal surface near the radiator or the front end. The first time I looked for it, it took some effort because of the dust—I had to gently wipe it or use a flashlight to illuminate it. Remember, the engine number is a combination of 7 to 15 digits and letters, used for vehicle annual inspections or repair registrations. Volkswagen designed it quite user-friendly, and the location isn’t hard to find. But if it’s unclear, the owner’s manual also includes a diagram marking its position. Every time I handle such matters, I make sure the car is turned off to avoid burns or accidents. In short, it’s a simple process—just follow a few steps, so don’t worry too much.
