Where is the engine number of the Volkswagen Sagitar located?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Volkswagen Sagitar is located at the junction between the engine and the transmission. The engine number, also known as the engine model, is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry or company practices, and the attributes of the engine. It is used to represent information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and batch of the engine. Taking the 2019 Volkswagen Sagitar as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm, and fuel tank capacity 50l.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Sagitar for several years, and the location of the engine number is actually quite common. Open the engine hood, crouch down, and carefully look at the front or side of the engine block. It's usually engraved on a metal plate, such as near the radiator. Sometimes it's hard to see due to dust, so I recommend wiping it with a cloth first. Don't forget to check the vehicle's nameplate—there might be other numbers in the engine compartment or on the door frame, but the engine number is a separate sequence of digits. I remember being confused when I first bought the car, but the technician at the 4S store taught me—they always verify this before every service. The engine number is crucial for vehicle identification, insurance, and annual inspections, so don't take it lightly. If you can't find it, check the vehicle registration certificate or the maintenance manual—they have a backup. Developing a habit of regular checks can save a lot of trouble, especially when changing the oil—just take a quick look. Just remember not to do it when the engine is hot to avoid burns.
