The engine number of Jianghuai Refine is located on the cast iron cylinder block near the fan wheel under the right exhaust manifold. There is a rectangular plane on the cylinder block where the engine's stamped numbers are marked. Similar to a car's VIN number, the engine number varies in sequence and content depending on the manufacturer. The dimensions of the Jianghuai Refine S3 are 4325mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1625mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm. In terms of appearance, the front of this model continues Jianghuai's 'Baopingkou' design, incorporating urban crossover SUV design elements, presenting an overall look of fashion and vitality. The details complement the whole design, with front and rear light designs along with window lines, and chrome-plated decorations on the windows and lower door sills.
Last time a friend asked me where to find the engine number on a Jianghuai Refine, I told him it's usually located on the engine block and visible once you pop the hood. On Refine models, the number is mostly engraved on the top front section of the engine or on the side near the fan. If you've just washed the car or it's rained, that area might be a bit oily or dusty—just shine a flashlight and wipe it clean with a cloth. Remember, this number is crucial for vehicle registration and maintenance records, so don't mix it up to avoid hassles during ownership transfer or insurance claims. I often help people inspect cars and noticed that on some older Refine models, the number might also be near the nameplate. If you can't find it, don't force it—just drive to a 4S shop and let them scan it with tools for a safe and easy solution. During routine maintenance, check the number's condition and apply anti-rust treatment to save future headaches. Bottom line: finding it is simple, but it's all about prioritizing driving safety.
I bought a Jianghuai Refine not long ago, and just last month I checked the engine number for the first time. After opening the hood, it was clearly engraved on the metal block at the lower right corner of the engine—quite noticeable. If the lighting is dim, I recommend using your phone's flashlight to see it clearly, unlike me who ended up covered in dust. This number isn’t usually needed, but it becomes crucial when selling the car or during annual inspections, as it proves whether the engine is original and helps avoid scams. I also checked forums where some mentioned that newer models might have it relocated to the left side or under the dashboard, but for the Refine, it’s typically in the engine bay. Make it a habit to check this number occasionally and clean the surrounding grime regularly—it saves time for mechanics if any issues arise. After years of commuting, I’ve learned that paying attention to these small details makes car ownership smoother.
