Where is the VIN number located on the Peugeot 2008?
2 Answers
The VIN number of the Peugeot 2008 is located on the metal plate under the front windshield. If you need to make a rubbing of the VIN number, you will have to remove the plastic trim panel beneath the windshield. The VIN, also known as the vehicle identification number, is a unique code assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. The VIN consists of 17 alphanumeric characters and is also referred to as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. The Peugeot 2008 is a compact SUV produced by Peugeot, with body dimensions of 4312mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1545mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2612mm. In terms of power, the Peugeot 2008 is equipped with a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine across all models, delivering a maximum power output of 100kW and a peak torque of 230Nm.
I once helped my neighbor locate the VIN on his Peugeot 2008. The easiest spot is the lower left corner of the windshield, visible from outside the car. However, if there's a dark tint film, it might appear blurry - in that case, crouch down to check the identification plate near the passenger-side sill, right beneath the gap between the door and B-pillar. For stamping purposes during inspections, lift the passenger foot mat to reveal raised numbers embossed on the metal frame - these are the clearest. When assisting with an older model inspection last time, I found it under the hood: open the engine compartment and look near the right front shock absorber tower for an aluminum plate bearing the VIN. Caution - don't touch that area immediately after turning off the engine as it stays hot. If still unsuccessful, refer to Chapter 5 (Vehicle Identification) in the manual for schematic diagrams.
