Where is the engine number of the Mercedes-Benz GLK350?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Mercedes-Benz GLK350 is located below the exhaust manifold, on the left side of the engine. It is generally a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following four ways: The vehicle's driving license will have the engine number printed, 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, 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 of each engine is unique.
I've driven the GLK350 a few times and helped a friend locate the engine number when working on the car. It's usually under the hood. Open the hood, and there's an engraved area on top of the engine near the cabin side where the number is clearly printed. Sometimes it's covered with a bit of dust or oil, but a quick wipe will make it visible. It's safer to wear gloves when handling this to avoid injuring your hands. The engine number is particularly important for vehicle sales, maintenance, and insurance. It's a good habit to jot it down and save it in your phone during routine maintenance for future reference. If you can't find it, check the manual or registration documents—it's definitely there. Avoid prying forcefully to prevent scratching the number. Keeping your car well-maintained extends the engine's lifespan and saves a lot on repair costs, a lesson I've learned from my experience with older cars.
