Where is the VIN stamping location on the Audi Q3?

The first VIN is located on the front inner wall panel of the vehicle. The other two are positioned below the left B-pillar seatbelt, and there is another one in the spare tire well. Below is relevant information: 1. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to a vehicle, used to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. 2. The first digit of the VIN indicates the country of production. The second digit represents the manufacturer. The third digit denotes the vehicle type—these three digits combined generally identify the vehicle model. Digits 4 through 8 describe the vehicle's features. The ninth digit is a check digit. The tenth digit indicates the manufacturing year.
I often encounter this issue when driving my Audi Q3. The stamped location of the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is usually in the area under the front windshield in the engine compartment. Specifically, after opening the hood, look towards the bottom of the windshield, and you'll find a metal plate near the center or right side where the number is engraved. For some model years, it can also be found near the right front wheel strut tower. Remember to clean off dust or grease to see it clearly—this detail is very useful for vehicle registration and insurance processing. Once, I helped a friend locate it during a repair, which saved us a lot of trouble. During regular maintenance checks, make sure the engraving is legible to prevent it from becoming blurred or covered over time, which could affect accident handling or anti-theft security.
