The engine number of the Wuling Zhiguang is located on the left side of the engine cylinder block. Here is some information about the engine number: 1. The engine number is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer to a batch of identical products in accordance with relevant regulations, industry practices, and engine attributes. 2. The engine number represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, intended use, and production batch of the engine. Additional details: The engine number consists of four parts, each with the following meanings: 1. Prefix. Includes product series code, generation symbol, and regional or manufacturer code, represented by letters chosen by the manufacturer as needed, subject to approval and filing by the industry standardization authority. 2. Middle section. Composed of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. 3. Rear section. Includes symbols for structural features and intended use. 4. Suffix. A distinguishing symbol used by the manufacturer to differentiate products within the same series due to modifications or other reasons.
I've been driving the Wuling Zhiguang for seven or eight years, and finding this engine number isn't actually difficult. It's located in the engine compartment, specifically on the side of the engine block. If you squat in front of the car and look at the engine, there's a flat surface near the alternator where the number is stamped in steel. Remember to wipe off the dust with a cloth first; for cars with a lot of grease, you might need to spray some carburetor cleaner. If you can't see the last few digits of the model number clearly, use your phone's flashlight to shine at an angle—the shadows will make the engravings more visible. By the way, when transferring ownership or during a vehicle inspection, make sure this number hasn't been tampered with. Some unscrupulous dealers in the used car market grind off engine numbers, so if you encounter this situation, report it to the police immediately.
Just helped my neighbor with this yesterday. The engine number of the Wuling Guang is stamped on the right side of the engine block, above the connection point between the engine and the transmission. First, open the hood and locate the black rectangular box near the battery (that's the ECU). The number is on the flat surface of the engine block below it. If the vehicle is old, you might need to clean off carbon deposits with a wire brush to see it clearly. A word of caution: never use sandpaper as it can damage the stamped numbers—someone did this before and the DMV refused to process the title transfer. When recording the number, it's better to take a photo than to write it down manually, since 0 and O can be easily confused.
