2 Answers
Dongfeng Citroen C-Quatre engine number is located at the corner on the right side of the aluminum shell at the front end of the cylinder block. The engine number is the engine model, which is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and engine attributes for a batch of identical products. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, characteristics, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine. Taking the 2016 Dongfeng Citroen C-Quatre as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4588mm, width 1773mm, height 1486mm, and a wheelbase of 2610mm.
I just bought a Dongfeng Citroen C-Quatre, and finding the engine number gave me quite a hassle. Generally, the number is stamped on the engine block itself, specifically on the right side or front metal surface in the engine bay – you can see it once you pop the hood. It’s usually engraved on a small flat tag with clearly legible digits. Don’t attempt this while the engine is hot; let it cool down for half an hour after turning it off—safety first. A common oversight is grease covering the spot, so bring a damp cloth to wipe it clean. Additionally, the vehicle’s registration certificate and logbook also have detailed records. If you can’t locate it yourself, check the documents to save the trouble of crawling under the car. This number is required for every annual inspection, so make sure it’s correctly verified to avoid any mishaps.
