Where is the engine number of the Touareg located?

The engine number of the Volkswagen Touareg is located on the left side of the engine block. The engine number can also be found on the vehicle's registration certificate. The engine number is a marking to prevent unauthorized engine modifications and must be checked during the vehicle's annual inspection. Below is an introduction to the engine number: 1. The vehicle engine number is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). VIN is the abbreviation for Vehicle Identification Number; 2. According to ASE standards, the VIN consists of 17 characters, hence it is commonly referred to as the 17-digit code. Correctly interpreting the VIN is crucial for accurately identifying the vehicle model and ensuring proper diagnosis and maintenance; 3. The Vehicle Identification Number is essentially the car's ID number. It is determined based on national vehicle management standards and contains information such as the manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. New registration certificates usually print the VIN in the 'Chassis Number' field.
I remember helping my neighbor locate the engine number on his Touareg last year. It took some effort but we finally found it: typically located in the engine compartment near the right front wheel, engraved on the surface of the engine block or cylinder head. After opening the hood, crouch down to look at the metal section beneath the windshield – it's often obscured by some oil stains, but wiping with a cloth will make it clear. This number is crucial for car transactions or insurance claims, so I recommend taking a photo and saving it on your phone for convenience. If the lighting is too dim to see clearly, bringing a flashlight is safer. If you really can't find it, don't struggle – just go to a repair shop and let professionals handle it to save time and effort.
