Where is the engine number of the Bora?

The engine number of the Bora is located on the front side wall of the engine block, below the front windshield, near the wipers. There is a small horizontal strip, and the engine number is found below the barcode on this strip. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the attributes of the engine. It is used to represent information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, processes, intended use, and batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power.

Engines installed in cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are marked with the professional manufacturer, model, and production number as required by regulations. 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 engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine. Each engine can only have one engine number, and the number for each engine is unique. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Front section: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and local or corporate code. Manufacturers can choose the appropriate letters as needed, but they must be approved and filed by the industry standard regulatory body. Middle section: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Rear section: Composed of symbols for structural features and intended use. Tail section: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed within the same series due to improvements or other reasons, manufacturers can choose appropriate symbols. The rear and tail sections can be separated by a hyphen (-).
I used to drive a Bora and have quite some experience in locating the engine number. This number is usually engraved on the engine block itself, specifically on the surface of the engine body inside the engine compartment. To find it, after opening the hood, you can crouch down and look at the front or right side of the engine's metal part, where a series of alphanumeric codes are engraved. Sometimes, it might be a bit rusty and require wiping to see clearly. I recommend ensuring the engine has cooled down for at least ten minutes before searching to avoid burns. The first time I did it took me a while, but once I got used to it, it became quite simple. This number is very important, as you'll need it for procedures like transferring ownership at the DMV or during repairs. If you can't find it, check the vehicle's user manual—it usually includes diagrams. Additionally, for new cars, the number might also be printed on the nameplate, located near the firewall or on a small label below the front windshield. In short, don’t rush, just take your time and look carefully.
