Where is the engine number located on the Wuling Zhiguang?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Wuling Zhiguang is located on the left side of the engine cylinder block. 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 four ways: The vehicle's driving license has 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 range, and the engine model can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine. Each engine can only use one engine number, and the number of each engine is unique.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade, and I'm most familiar with the engine number location of Wuling Sunshine. It's usually on the engine block itself, most commonly near the right side cylinder block, close to the fan or exhaust manifold. The position is somewhat deep—you'll need to open the engine compartment cover first, clean off any oil stains and dust, then use a strong flashlight to search carefully. The number is stamped as a clear metal imprint that doesn't wear easily. If it's hard to see, try checking below the cylinder head or near the transmission interface. This number is crucial for used car transactions, annual inspections, and insurance verification—don't tamper with it yourself to avoid scratching the paint. Check it during routine maintenance to keep it clean for next time. If you can't find it, I recommend driving to a repair shop—a mechanic can locate it in two minutes, saving you from potential damage. The location is similar for both older and newer models; once you remember the spot, finding it becomes quick and safe.
