Where is the engine number of the Beidou Star located?

The engine number of the Beidou Star can be found on the engine block. For the 1.4L engine, the engine number is located on the right side under the air filter box in the engine compartment, on the engine block at the junction of the engine and transmission. For the 1.0L engine, the engine number is located at the lower part of the engine near the oil pan. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer according to relevant regulations, industry practices, and engine attributes, representing information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose vehicles are required to display the professional manufacturer, model, and production 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 multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, is a unique production number assigned to each individual engine, and no two engines have the same number. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Front section: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or enterprise code, selected by the manufacturer as needed, but must be approved and recorded by the industry standard authority. Middle section: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Rear section: Comprises symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. Tail section: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed due to improvements or other reasons within the same series, the manufacturer selects an appropriate symbol, which can be separated from the rear section by a hyphen (-).
I deal with cars quite often, and the engine number of the Beidou Star is actually located on the engine block. Open the hood and look carefully—usually on the front side of the block, either left or right, there's a small metal area engraved with a combination of letters and numbers. This number is as important as the car's ID, especially during annual inspections or ownership transfers, as it must be used for verification. If you can't find it or it's hard to read, wait until the engine cools down and wipe off the dust. The Beidou Star's space design is quite reasonable, but the location tends to accumulate oil—just clean it with a cloth. However, remember not to touch it while the engine is hot to avoid burns. Also, if the number is severely worn, it's advisable to file a record to prevent inconvenience, and I recommend checking it periodically.
