VAZ (Zhiguli) car identification numbers
On VAZ cars, the identification number (VIN) is applied with impact and placed in the engine compartment:
- VAZ-2101, VAZ-21011, VAZ-21013, VAZ-2102, VAZ-2103, VAZ-2104, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2106, VAZ-2107 and their modifications on the bottom shelf of the air intake box on the right in the direction of travel
- VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110 on the upper surface of the right pillar of the body mudguard (on the right front suspension spring support)
- VAZ-2121 on the upper amplifier of the front panel on the right. In addition, there are options for subsequent placement on the upper reinforcement of the radiator trim panel, on the front panel next to the nameplate
For the first 5 years since the start of production of VAZ cars (1970-1975), the vehicle identification number was applied to the vertical wall of the air intake box on the right in the direction of travel.
The identification number (VIN) on VAZ cars produced before one thousand nine hundred eighty two consisted of 11, 12, fourteen and fifteen characters. The last seven numeric characters indicated the serial number of the product, and the first seven (eight) alphanumeric characters or four (5) numeric characters, respectively, either the manufacturer and model of the car, or the model of the car. Dividing marks are made in the form of five-pointed stars.

Where is the engine number on a VAZ?
Knowing where the car engine number is located is useful for any motorist; it is especially important to know its location when buying a car, as well as repairing and replacing the engine.
Finding the engine number on VAZ cars is not difficult, the main thing is to know where to look. On the first VAZ 2101, 2102, 2103 cars, the engine number is located on a special area of the cylinder block, later on cars 2104, 2105, 2106, 2107, Niva, VAZ began to put the engine number above the oil filter. On the eighth, ninth and tenth series of VAZ cars, the engine number is printed on the top of the rear wall of the block, next to the distributor breaker.
From a verbal description, of course, it is not easy to immediately understand where the engine number is on a VAZ, so I propose to consider the location of the engine number on various car models.

Why do you need to know this?
Buying a car is a satisfying event. But it may be overshadowed by the fact that during registration, nasty details will be revealed. Therefore, ALWAYS check whether all vehicle identification data matches those indicated in its documents!
Naturally, in different regions of the country, car inspectors have different views on the fact that a car may have an engine with a number different from what is indicated in the documentation. But traffic police officers may quite reasonably have questions if suddenly the engine number does not match. Isn't the motor you have stolen? Was it installed legitimately?
If the engine has been replaced on the car, then there must certainly be all the documents that would confirm the legality of its installation.

Tools for finding the engine number:
- management, abstract, instruction manual;
- vehicle registration certificate (vehicle PTS);
- detergent (Fairy is perfect);
- flashlight;
- a mirror with a long handle (if the number is stamped in a place inaccessible to visual inspection).
Why do you need an engine number?
Despite the contradictory information that is distributed on the Internet, the engine number is mandatory when selling a car and re-registering it with the MREO (read about how to restore a vehicle registration certificate).
This information is no longer indicated in the PTS, but the data is entered into the database, so it is important to know where the engine number is stamped and to have all the documents confirming the legality of its installation.
The VIN code rarely contains information about the engine, but almost all cars have information about the model and year of manufacture, making it easy to determine the engine modification. Some car brands immediately indicate information about the engine model in the VIN code.
These brands include:
You can read more about how to check a car by VIN code on various resources in our expert’s article.
Additionally, we recommend reading the material on how to find and decipher a car’s VIN code.
When reinstalling the engine, it is recommended to install the same model and modification as it was before, due to the fact that when checking at the MREO, inspectors may have additional questions that will complicate the re-registration procedure.

Where is the engine number on the VAZ 2109
On the “eighth” and “ninth” VAZ models, as well as their modifications, the manufacturer placed the engine number on the upper area of the rear wall of the cylinder block on the flywheel side, on the left side in the direction of travel, close to the distributor. The labeling process itself is mechanized.
Where is the engine number?
Typically, your car's engine number is displayed on its engine components. But, unfortunately, many motorists... This is due to the placement of rooms. Typically, the manufacturer chooses the destination of the attribute without consulting others. Thus, it turns out that each brand hides the engine number in a particularly secluded place.
But, despite this, the code and engine number are shown on its lower parts. To find out exactly where it is
engine, you can use a special annotation for the engine. If you purchased the car yourself, you can download such annotations on the Internet. It will indicate the clear position of the code and engine number.
Not much about what the code and engine number are. The motor type code consists of three characters. The first sign is the displacement (J-1.3, L-1.6, R-1.8, N-2.0). Well, symbol 3 is an attachment to the model. This designation is assigned at the manufacturer. Now it's clear.

Another problem that the car owner faces is the inevitable accumulation of a whole layer of dirt. That is why many experienced car owners advise cleaning the engine and washing it. In this way, all cavities and hidden places are immediately revealed. Often, some manufacturers knock out the engine in such a way that it can be viewed with the help of a small mirror. For example, here is the engine number
Ford located on the bottom panel. You can simply see it with a mirror, without even removing the motor protection.
Where is the engine number located?
There are a large number of options for the location of the engine number. Since the place where to look for the engine number may be in a very hard-to-reach part of the part, it is better to first find out the exact location of the code.
Most often, numbers are knocked out in such places.
- Near the cylinder block. This location is the most common and is found in approximately 30% of car models
- On the belt cover.
- On the bottom panel. Often found on American cars, including Ford. To view, you must use a mirror with a long handle.
- On the air intake.
- On the intake manifold.
- On the eye of the engine suspension.
Information tag
Apart from the papers for the car and the aforementioned stamp, all the information is also on a special iron plate that is attached to the body with rivets. It states:
- VAZ-2115 body identifier;
- year of issue;
- Business name;
- certain technical properties of the car.
When you open the hood, you will immediately see a rectangular tag. It is located on the back edge of the engine compartment, slightly to the left of center if you are facing the windshield.
Despite the fact that the described plate only duplicates the information, its safety is also important. Clean it often, remove rust and make sure it is securely fastened.
You can also find your VIN code at:
- right front axle shock absorber strut;
- in the trunk, on the bottom of the niche for the spare wheel.
What to do if there is simply no number?
As I already said, over time, the engine number may fade or even be completely erased. It is also not worth removing corrosion processes, which greatly influence the fact that the number becomes simply unreadable. Fortunately, this point is also specified in the law of the Russian Federation. Using a machine with a marking problem is only permitted if the marking has become unreadable due to corrosion. However, if the car has been repaired, the body or frame has been replaced, which is why the identification data has disappeared, the car owner must inform the MREO, where inspectors will have to conduct additional examinations.
Why know where the number is
The need to compare the engine identifier with what is indicated in the documents supplied with the car is obvious to anyone who purchases a vehicle second-hand. The coincidence of numbers gives reason to hope that the history of the car is at least not tarnished. Using a digital sequence, for example, it is easy to make sure that the VAZ is not mortgaged to the bank, actually belongs to the dealer and is not wanted as stolen.
It is also important to check whether the 2115th model number has been corrected or interrupted. In fact, it’s not particularly difficult to identify a fake; you can just see the mark through a magnifying glass. Scratches and emerging silhouettes of other numbers are far from its only sign. Replacement is also indicated by bulging of the line and traces of grinding or welding. If you encounter what is described, then refuse the deal and look for another option; this is guaranteed to free you from a huge amount of hassle in the future.
In addition, the VAZ-2115 number is biasedly studied by traffic inspectors during the process of registering a car or during a technical inspection. The identifier is inevitably compared with what is stored in the traffic police database. A discrepancy of one figure will not only make registration impossible, but will also become sufficient grounds for starting an investigation.
Owners who decide to sell their own VAZ model 2115 must also know where the power plant number is located and make every effort to maintain its readability. This will prevent the buyer from hesitating when faced with the impossibility of establishing the origin of the car.
Number location
Let's figure out where to look to see the number with which the VAZ-2115 engine is equipped. It can only be located in one place on the cylinder block, on the right, if you stand facing the car. Also located nearby:
- clutch housing;
- thermostat.
The number itself is stamped onto the unit using a special machine using a specific font. The mark is quite deep, and therefore can preserve readability throughout the entire life of the machine. However, over time it becomes quite dirty, and therefore it is recommended to clean the room from time to time.
Where to look for the engine number on a VAZ-2115
The engine number on the VAZ 2115 is located in a single place - on the right side of the cylinder block. More specifically, near the thermostat, just above the clutch housing. However, there is one caveat - you can only get to it by dismantling the air filter and the adjacent pipes.
The code itself is applied to the engine using impact stamping. This guarantees reliability and, as a result, durability. Therefore, the likelihood that it will wear out due to wear is extremely low.
Decoding information
Let's find out what the letters and numbers embossed on the power unit itself, other parts of the VAZ-2115 and the information plate mean.
There are two lines on the engine. The first shows its type, and the bottom actually contains a seven-digit identifier.
The numbers on the information plate have different interpretations. The one stamped on the left, vertically, is used to indicate spare parts. Also outside the frame, but below, are 5 numbers. They report on the configuration options for the car.
In the center at the top there is the familiar abbreviation VAZ; it makes no sense to decipher it. Below it is the code of the certificate of conformity issued by Rosstandart.
Next, the VIN code is stamped large. In it, the first three positions are occupied by the letters XTA, this is the international designation of the Russian automaker. They are followed by five digits, the car model, for example, 21150. After it comes the year (for example, seven is 2007). Next are seven characters of the body number.
Below is the type of unit, and then there are:
- limit values of loads on the front and rear axles;
- the mass of the vehicle itself;
- its total limit weight with the trailer.

VAZ engine number
The marking on the engine is applied to a special area of the cylinder block. The labeling process is mechanized.
On engines produced before December one thousand nine hundred seventy four (VAZ-2101, VAZ-2102, VAZ-2103), the marking area was located on the front upper end of the cylinder block.
From the second half of one thousand nine hundred seventy five, the marking area on the engines is located on the tide of the block, to the left in the direction of travel, above the oil filter. On engines produced from December one thousand nine hundred seventy four to July one thousand nine hundred seventy five, markings are found on both sites. Since July one thousand nine hundred seventy five, only the technological number of the motor, consisting of 3 digital characters, is applied at the previous location of the engine number.
READ Is It Possible to Use Diesel Oil in a Gasoline Engine
The application of markings on the engines of all models, not counting the VAZ-2108, is done by an automatic numberer of the German office Otto Borries, also by a VAZ KVTs numberer. On the engines of VAZ-2108 cars, markings are applied by a numberer from the Nagel office.
D (A, B, C, F, H) applied equipment; VAZ manufacturing plant; 01 seven 85 production date of the motor block; (K, N) brigade code; 2106 designation of the cylinder block model.
The date of block casting actually always corresponds to the motor release date, because the difference between the casting of the block and the release of the finished motor does not exceed 15-20 days.
The strength of stamping numbers with numerator stamps is regulated by engine marking technology. With all this, the magnitude of the force of pressing the stamp is five hundred sixty N, the depth of pressing (implementation) of the stamp into the metal is less than 0.3 mm.
In the numbering machine of the Otto Borries company, the stamps are ring disk. All seven disks, assembled together, make up a package in which the disks are assembled and placed in such a way that their working surfaces form a sphere of a certain radius. When marking a motor, the sphere seems to roll over the surface of the pad on the block, leaving stamp imprints in accordance with the order of the stamps in the package, the totality of which forms the motor number. The platform is run in the same way when applying the engine model index. Before entering another number in the numerator, the stamp is changed by rotating it around its axis and bringing the next number to the level of the contacting surfaces between the stamp and the pad. Changing stamps and bringing the numerator to the appropriate level are carried out automatically.
The Nagen numbering machine has finger-type stamps. They are secured and held by a rotating head (chuck). To stamp the number and bring the head to the surface of the motor block, it alternately turns in one direction or the other around its own axis, bringing the necessary mark to the site. At the moment of complete and correct alignment of the contact surfaces, a certain brand comes out forward towards the surface of the block, while the necessary brand reaches the level of specific contact with the motor block. The extension of the mark is completed by specific contact and the formation of an impression on the block platform. Next, the rotating head moves slightly from left to right relative to the block and the stamp is immediately changed by turning the head and inserting a new one according to the programmed program. Everything repeats itself again. All the markings on the motor block are stamped in this way, after which the rotating head moves one hundred percent away from the processed block.
Markings on motor blocks are applied specifically before their assembly.
Spare parts created for sale through a retail network or workshops are not stamped with numbers on individual units. They only have a technological number located on the front end of the engine block and consisting of 3 characters, which serves for the correct selection of pistons.
If individual symbols are incorrectly applied in the motor marking designation (problems in the operation of numberers associated with untimely replacement of the mark), they are eliminated. The area of metal on which the symbol to be destroyed is placed is punched. Then a suitable symbol is hand-stamped, and a similar mark is used. One, the last two (when changing to 10s), the last three (when changing to hundreds) numbers, etc. can be corrected at the factory. If the entire number is incorrectly applied, it is cut off with an emery wheel of a grinding machine to the depth of the relief image and then a new number is stamped. If only part of the sign (symbols) is displayed in relief, then the non-displayed part is finished off. The plant maintains a file cabinet in which the numbers of engines with corrected errors are recorded.
What is the engine number for?
Why do you need an engine number? It is required for verification with the number entered in the PTS. After purchasing a car, it must be registered with the traffic police, and if the engine is not original and its number is not identical to that given in the title, then the current owner of the car may have troubles.
Until 2011, checking of old and new engines was not organized properly, and even reconciliation during registration was not provided. This situation led to the fact that the replacement of an internal combustion engine with any engine compatible with a specific car model became a mass phenomenon, while car owners practically did not think about the fact that such “metamorphoses” need to be registered in the MREO.
However, since 2018, everything began to be done strictly according to the law. If the number does not match the one given in the PTS, then the VIN number is used to determine what type of internal combustion engine is installed on this car by default.
If the engine number does not match the one in the PTS, you need to check whether the new and original engines are the same:
- model;
- engine type;
- characteristics;
- You also need to find out whether the new engine is wanted in the traffic police database.
If the internal combustion engine was replaced with one of a similar model and type, then the car owner should not have any complaints. The car will be registered in the PTS, and appropriate adjustments will be made to the databases. Moreover, no one will ask the car owner a question: where did the new engine come from in the car? This is required by law.
Where is the engine number of the VAZ 2107
The VAZ two thousand one hundred seven car is equipped with a number of engines. At first, a 1.3-liter carburetor engine from a VAZ-2103 was installed on the car. Later, they began to install carburetor power units of 1.3 liters from the VAZ-2105 (VAZ-21072), 1.6 liters from the VAZ-2106 (VAZ-21074). 1.7-liter engines with injection (VAZ-21073) were exported. Regardless of the power plant, the placement of the engine marker for the VAZ-2107 is identical.
Scheme for locating the motor marker:
The motor identifier is printed using the punch method and is geographically located on the platform of the motor frame. The process is automatic, the platform is located above the oil filter element. The marking is applied by the German device Otto Borries, the font is provided by the same company.
Placement of identification information:
As for the VAZ 2107 identifier, it is applied by impact; you can look at it by looking in the engine department, on the lower shelf of the air supply box.
Why check the labeling?
When it comes to checking the engine number, some car owners are perplexed as to why these unnecessary manipulations are necessary. Please note that only the factory marker can correctly identify the unit. Naturally, situations when these actions are needed occur occasionally, but it is better to prepare for them in advance.
Not so long ago, information about the power plant number was entered into the vehicle passport. According to the new rules, such a record is not made from two thousand eleven, but this does not mean that the information should be neglected.
When carrying out an operation to purchase, register, or deregister a vehicle with municipal authorities, information about the engine, as well as the body number of the VAZ two thousand one hundred seven are entered into the information database. For a municipal employee, this base is valuable, and discrepancies lead to dilemmas. The absence of the necessary papers, or damage to the license plates, leads to the fact that the legality of the purchase of a car or modification requires proof.
For these reasons, know where the engine or body number is located on a VAZ 2107 car. When remodeling a car, install a unit with the same features and the same model that the factory supplied.
Where is the engine number for VAZ 21093
Well, some other useful notes:
Today, an order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be published, significantly simplifying the process of registering cars. Among the revolutionary innovations: the abolition of the mandatory inspection of the engine number; if the owner of the car changes, it will be possible to keep the license plate, and if you change your place of residence, you will not have to waste time deregistering the car.
Despite the abolition of the mandatory check of the car’s engine number, citizens will still have to present the car to the inspection platform - no one has canceled the inspection of the body number and other units. And the inspector will check the engine number only if he has suspicions about the criminal past of the car, writes the Kommersant publication.
Now the car owner will not need to deregister the car when selling it (it is enough to conclude a purchase and sale agreement with the new owner), and the new owner will be able to keep the license plate number. True, this applies to cases where the old and new owners live in the same subject of the Federation.
