1. On the engine block itself: Look for a raised metal tag or a stamped number directly on the engine block. It's usually located on the front of the engine, near the cylinder head, but the exact position can vary slightly depending on the specific engine model.
2. On the vehicle identification number (VIN) plate: This plate is usually located on the driver's side dashboard, near the windshield. The engine number will be listed along with the VIN.
Here are some additional tips for finding the engine number:
* Consult your owner's manual: The owner's manual for your Golf should provide specific information on the location of the engine number.
* Use a flashlight: If you're having trouble seeing the engine number, use a flashlight to illuminate the area.
* Check online resources: You can search online for resources specific to your model year and engine size that provide additional information on engine number location.
Remember to keep in mind that the exact location of the engine number may vary depending on the specific model and year of your Volkswagen Golf. If you are still unable to locate the engine number, it's best to consult a mechanic or a Volkswagen dealership.
