The engine VIN is a specific section within the vehicle's overall VIN. It typically consists of the last 8 characters of the complete 17-digit VIN number.
To find the engine VIN, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate the vehicle's VIN Plate: The VIN plate is usually attached to the vehicle in several locations. It can be found in the following areas:
- Driver's side door pillar (the pillar between the front and rear doors)
- Inside the engine bay (near the firewall)
- Dashboard (visible through the windshield on the driver's side)
2. Identify the Engine VIN: Once you have located the VIN plate, identify the last 8 characters of the 17-digit VIN. These characters represent the engine VIN.
3. Additional Methods: In some cases, the engine VIN may be found in other locations as well. Consult the vehicle's owner's manual or check with the manufacturer for specific instructions.
4. Vehicle Documents: The engine VIN can also be found on vehicle-related documents, such as the vehicle registration or title.
It's important to note that the engine VIN may not always be visible from the outside of the vehicle. In some cases, you may need to remove a cover or look closely in the designated areas. If you have difficulty finding the engine VIN, refer to the vehicle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
