Where to Find the Changan Engine Number Stamping?
3 Answers
Changan engine number stamping is located under the front passenger seat. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be viewed through the following 4 ways: The vehicle license displays the engine number, usually located in the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate records the engine number; The car purchase invoice records the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate records the engine number. It should be noted that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be identical. The engine number refers to the production serial number of the engine, where each engine can only use one unique engine number and no two engines share the same number.
As a frequent driver, when I was looking for the engine number stamp on my Changan car, I found it engraved on the front or side of the engine block. You need to open the hood first and locate the smooth area of the engine body, usually near the front of the car. It can often be covered by oil stains, so you'll need to wipe it clean with a cloth to see it clearly. This number is like the car's ID card, used for registration or verifying vehicle information during maintenance, so it's a good habit to check it after each service. For newer models like the Changan CS75 or Eado, the location might vary slightly, such as being a bit more towards the middle of the block. If it's hard to see, don't force it or pry, as you might damage the components. It's safer to ask a repair shop to check it with professional tools. I recommend taking a few seconds to inspect it after each car wash to spot any loosening or rust issues early.
From routine car repair experience, the Changan engine number stamp is directly imprinted on the engine block, typically located on the left side or top area of the cylinder block. You'll need to crouch down and carefully inspect inside the engine bay, sometimes removing some covers to catch a glimpse. Different models like the UNI series may have slight variations, but it's generally in a visible spot. A clear number can save a lot of hassle, such as during vehicle transfers or verifying authenticity after an accident. If the number is worn and illegible, avoid using chemical cleaners—just air dry and gently wipe. Make it a habit to glance at it during oil changes as a preventive measure.
