Q
how to check engine size by vin number
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
The engine size is often encoded within the VIN number of a car. Here is how you might do this:
1. Find the VIN number: This will typically be found on the driver's side dashboard or in the driver's side door jam.
2. Analyze the VIN number: VIN numbers are typically 17 characters long.
Let's dissect this a bit:
- The first three characters are the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). The first character indicates the country where the vehicle was manufactured, the second character tells who is the maker or the manufacturing division, and the third character represents the type of vehicle.
- Characters from 4 to 8 show the data about the car such as the model, engine size and type, body type, etc.
- The ninth character is called a check digit which validates the VIN.
- The tenth character shows the production year.
- The 11th character indicates the assembly plant for the vehicle.
- Characters 12 through 17 represent the car's unique ID, as in one specific car coming off the assembly line.
To know the engine size, you will have to decipher the characters 4 to 8, especially the fifth or sixth or eighth depending on the manufacturer. These characters often represent the engine size or model.
However, the VIN codes vary from country to country and manufacturer to manufacturer. You may need to look up a VIN decoding guide for your specific car manufacturer to figure out exactly which character represents the engine size.
Alternatively, many online tools can help you decode your VIN number. Websites like decodethis.com or vindecoder.net let you enter your VIN and then provide a comprehensive information breakdown.
Remember: Checking the VIN will provide the original engine size; it will not account for any modifications made to the vehicle after it was initially sold.
Always remember to use a secure website when looking up VIN numbers, as this is sensitive information that should not be shared widely.
