Where is the engine number located on the Wuling Rongguang van?
3 Answers
The engine number of the Wuling Rongguang is located on the engine block. The letters and numbers stamped on the triangular iron plate at the connection point between the engine and the chassis under the front passenger seat represent the chassis number. The brand, manufacturing date, identification code, and engine number are all displayed there. Below is relevant information about engine numbers: 1. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose vehicles must be marked with the professional manufacturer's name, model, and production number as required. 2. To facilitate engine production management and usage, the national standard (GB-725-82) "Rules for the Naming and Model Designation of Engine Products" has established unified regulations for engine names and models.
Last time I serviced my Wuling Rongguang, I noticed this issue. Generally, the engine number is located in a crucial spot within the engine bay. Open the front hood, and you'll find the engraving on the engine block itself, usually on the side of the cylinder block near the transmission end. I must say, the location is designed to be quite visible, but if it's an older car or covered in grease, you might need to wipe it with a cloth or use your phone's flashlight for better visibility. Additionally, the chassis number is affixed to the lower left corner of the windshield for easy cross-referencing during registration. Be careful not to burn yourself on the hot engine when locating the numbers. In practice, carrying a small handheld mirror or using your phone's camera can save effort, especially when the engraving is too deep to see clearly. I recommend cleaning the number locations during each car wash or minor maintenance to avoid rust and blurring, which could cause trouble during annual inspections.
I've been using the Wuling Rongguang for cargo transport for five years. During the transfer registration, I needed the engine number, and it took some time to find it engraved on the front part of the engine under the hood. Sometimes, there's also a small nameplate attached to mark its location. I remember that rainy day when I was searching for it, the number was covered in mud, but it became easy after cleaning. I suggest new car owners not to rush—open the hood and search calmly. The location isn't hidden but requires attention. Relatedly, the maintenance manual usually includes a diagram, and familiarizing yourself with it beforehand can save time. After all, the number is crucial for buying, selling, or handling accidents. Older van models have similar designs, and keeping the number clear can prevent future issues.
