Where is the engine number of the Great Wall M4?
3 Answers
The engine number of the Great Wall M4 is located next to the co-driver's seat, at the junction of the engine and the transmission. It is 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 should be noted 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.
I'm a long-time owner of the Great Wall M4 and have been driving this SUV for almost five years. I remember spending a long time looking for the engine number under the hood when I was transferring the vehicle ownership. The number is usually located on the engine block itself, specifically on the right front area near the driver's compartment, or it might be engraved as small digits on the metal cylinder surface. At first, I was confused too, but later I found it on a small plate near the firewall or directly engraved. I recommend checking it with a flashlight when the engine is cold to avoid burns from hot components. The number is definitely copied in the vehicle license and owner's manual—keeping a copy in your wallet is handy because it's crucial for insurance claims or used car transactions. If you can't find it, don't panic—just drive to a 4S shop and let them help locate it safely and conveniently. Keep some digital copies of the documents on your phone for easy access whenever needed.
In my auto repair work, I've handled many Great Wall M4 vehicles and can clearly see the engine number location. It's directly engraved on the engine block surface, typically on the front side or near the firewall side. When searching, I recommend using a strong flashlight to avoid obstruction by pipelines. The engine number serves as the engine's ID card, crucial for part replacement or fault diagnosis - like when matching engine components requires number verification. Backup copies exist on the vehicle registration card or license, so I often remind friends to keep document duplicates. Avoid checking when the engine is hot, and wear protective gloves for safety. Routine maintenance doesn't require frequent number checks, but knowing its location saves trouble during repairs.
