Where is the engine number of the Magotan GTE located?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Magotan is stamped at the junction between the engine and the transmission, usually consisting of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found through 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 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 refers to the production number of the engine, with each engine having a unique number that is different from all others.
Last time I helped a friend transfer ownership of his Magotan GTE, I specifically researched the engine number location. For Volkswagen models, the engine number is typically found in three common spots: The most typical location is at the lower right side of the engine bay, near the battery—just remove the plastic cover to see the stamped number. Another spot is by crouching down to check the vehicle identification plate under the windshield's lower edge, which sometimes also displays it. The most hidden location is on the chassis—you'll need to lift the car or lie down to find it on the crossbeam under the passenger side. Since hybrid vehicles have many wiring components, it's recommended to perform this when the engine is cold. Bring a flashlight and use your phone to take photos—the correct format is a combination of letters and numbers with an * symbol. If you can't find it, don't force it; dealerships can locate it in just two minutes.
