The engine number of the Baojun 510 is located on the engine block. Open the engine hood, and the engine number is found on the lower right side of the front end of the engine block. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the attributes of the engine. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are required to display the professional manufacturer, model, and production number of the engine. 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 multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, is the production serial number of the engine, and each engine has a unique number. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Front part: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or corporate code. Manufacturers may choose appropriate letters as needed, but these must be approved and recorded by the industry standardization unit. Middle part: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Rear part: Composed of symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. Tail part: Distinguishing symbol. If differentiation is required due to improvements or other reasons within the same series, the manufacturer selects an appropriate symbol. The rear and tail parts may be separated by a hyphen.
I remember handling the transfer procedures for the Baojun 510. The engine number stamp is hidden inside the engine compartment, near the front side of the cylinder block, and the location can sometimes be quite concealed—you have to crouch down and use a flashlight to see it clearly. It's common for dust to cover it, but a gentle wipe will reveal the number. This number serves as the unique identifier for the engine and is essential for repairs or transactions. Once found, make sure to note it down to avoid future hassles. The 510's design is quite reasonable, with a relatively fixed location, but always ensure the engine is cool before checking to prevent burns. I recommend getting someone to hold the hood or bringing a mirror to assist in viewing—it saves time and ensures safety. Regular maintenance checks on this detail can save a lot of trouble down the road.
