Where is the Skoda Octavia engine number located?

Skoda Octavia engine number is located under the hood, on the nameplate at the front of the engine. 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 engine's attributes. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine. Taking the 2020 Skoda Octavia as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4675mm, width 1814mm, height 1460mm, wheelbase 2686mm, fuel tank capacity 51 liters, and curb weight 1210kg.
The engine number of the ŠKODA OCTAVIA is usually engraved on the engine block. Specifically, after opening the hood, you can find it on the surface of the engine block on the right side, typically displayed via laser engraving or an attached nameplate, near the dipstick area. As a long-time owner of this model, I've located it multiple times—such as during vehicle transfer procedures or maintenance checks when confirming the number is necessary. The engine number acts like a car's ID card; it's essential for registration, repairs, or insurance claims. I recommend checking it after the engine is turned off and cooled down, wearing gloves to prevent burns, and using a phone flashlight in a well-lit area for better visibility. If dirt obscures it, gently wipe with a damp cloth—avoid scraping to prevent damage. Save a photo of it in your phone gallery for easy access whenever needed.
