The engine number of Chery A5 is located in the engine compartment. You can see it by opening the hood. It is near the part of the coolant pipe close to the engine. Look down from there, and you will see the engine number! Engine numbers are always on the engine block, usually a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked in the following 4 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, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, and each engine can only use one engine number, with each engine's number being unique.

Last year when I went for the annual inspection, I also had to locate the engine number of my Chery A5. It took me half an hour to find it. It's located in the engine compartment, specifically on the right side of the engine block near the driver's seat, and you have to bend down to see it. There's a flat metal surface engraved with a combination of letters and numbers, surrounded by oil pipes. You'll need to turn on your phone's flashlight to see it clearly. Remember to bring your vehicle registration certificate to cross-check the number to avoid copying it wrong. If you really can't find it, just go to a repair shop—they have a lift to get a better view. The maintenance manual also has instructions on the location, but many people lose this manual.

Having repaired over a dozen Chery A5 models, the engine number is located slightly to the right on the top of the cylinder block, approximately five centimeters below the third spark plug. You'll need to remove the throttle hose for a clear view – wearing gloves is recommended to avoid burns. The number is stamped in raised steel, and if it's hard to read, applying some engine oil and doing a paper rubbing can help. Newer models now have it in a more visible spot on the firewall, as the older design wasn't very user-friendly. If the engine has been overhauled, some repair shops might stamp a new number, so remember to cross-check with the vehicle's certification.

The vehicle management office requires physical verification of the engine number during imprinting. For the Chery A5, the 17-digit engine number is located at the junction of the cylinder head and the intake manifold. It is recommended to bring a high-power flashlight and operate when the engine is cool. You may call the local 4S store's registration hotline for a location diagram. The same number is registered on the vehicle license and registration certificate, but these documents cannot serve as substitutes. If the number is illegible due to rust, it must be re-stamped and registered at a designated institution.

The engine number is a mandatory check item when evaluating a used car. For the Chery A5, it is located on the right rear side of the engine compartment, on a flat surface near the top of the firewall. The position is relatively hidden and often covered with oil stains. Pay special attention to check for any grinding marks around the number to prevent tampering. Some cars may have abnormal engine numbers due to engine replacement, in which case maintenance records should be verified. There are specialized mirror tools available on the market to assist with viewing, which are more convenient and safer than feeling by hand.
