Where is the VIN on the Jiangling Baodian?

[KendraFitz]

The VIN of the Jiangling Baodian is located between the right front door and the right rear door, and you need to crawl under the car to see it. Generally, the VIN can also be found on the car's front windshield, the motor vehicle license, or the nameplate in the engine compartment. Below is a detailed introduction to the VIN: 1. The first 3 characters: represent the country of production, manufacturer, and vehicle type. 2. Characters 4-8: represent vehicle characteristics, such as the type of car, engine type, body type, etc. 3. The 9th character: represents the check digit, used to determine if the VIN is correctly filled. 4. The 10th character: represents the production year, indicating the year the car was manufactured, usually marked as the vehicle's production year, which is an important identifier for the vehicle. 5. The 11th character: represents the assembly location of the car, usually denoted by 0. 6. Characters 12-17: represent the production serial number of the car.

With over 20 years of auto repair experience, I know the JMC Baodian's VIN locations like the back of my hand. The most obvious spot is at the lower left corner of the windshield on the driver's side - just lean in to see a long string of characters. However, if it's obscured by accident damage or window tint, check the stamped metal plate on the driver's door frame (visible when the door is open). You'll also find it engraved on the chassis rail near the firewall in the engine bay, though you'll need a flashlight and some crouching to read it. Two backup locations: the crossmember under the front passenger seat (requires lying down) and the first page of the vehicle registration certificate. Pro tip: freshly washed VIN plates are easiest to read - don't let mud cover them up.

The used car dealer who sold me the Jiangling Baodian last time taught me several methods to locate the VIN. The easiest way is to lean over the steering wheel and look at the lower edge of the windshield—the combination of numbers and letters there is the VIN. If the windshield is too dirty to see clearly, try opening the driver's door; the small silver metal plate on the side of the door frame definitely has the VIN. You can also find it in the engine compartment, engraved on the longitudinal beam near the battery, but you'll need to wipe off the grease with a cloth to make it visible. Here's a little tip: the VIN displayed during the dashboard self-check after starting the vehicle matches the chassis number. If you still can't find it, don't worry—the complete 17-digit number is always printed on the insurance policy or purchase invoice.

Just helped a friend inspect a Jiangling Baodian, and the VIN is usually hidden in these locations. A prominent VIN is engraved on the metal strip at the lower left corner of the windshield, easily visible when crouching. The vehicle information label on the door frame also fully records the VIN, located on the frame after opening the driver's door. A directly cast stamp can also be found on the longitudinal beam in the engine compartment, which is more reliable despite its hidden location. Reminder: The VIN is equivalent to a vehicle's ID card and needs to be verified during transfer and annual inspections. Keep it clean and avoid covering it. If it's worn, you can check the registration certificate, which has a complete backup of the number.

Last week when I went to the DMV to complete procedures, I discovered there are multiple recording points for the VIN. On my Jiangling Baodian, there's a prominent VIN plate affixed to the left side of the windshield, particularly noticeable in good daylight. The door frame information label and the duplicate vehicle license also record this important number in sync. I'm accustomed to keeping a photo of the vehicle license in my phone for backup. A friend mentioned there's an engraving on the engine compartment beam, but after opening the hood for quite some time, I couldn't locate the exact spot. Ultimately, the registration certificate resolved the issue. I recommend everyone avoid covering the identification area when applying window film, and also refrain from allowing leaves and debris to accumulate under the wiper blades. Regular cleaning ensures the plate remains clearly visible.
