How to find the engine number of a VAZ 2112 16 valves


Location of the engine number on the VAZ-2112

It happens that unknowing car enthusiasts are able to spend more than one hour under the hood of a car looking for the required identification number. The thing is that during operation, some of them can become covered with a thick layer of dirt, which makes them simply unsuitable for visual perception without prior preparation.

The following two tabs change content below.

  • About the expert:

All my life I have been surrounded by cars! First, in the village, already in the first grade, I was rushing around on a tractor through the fields, then there was JAVA, then a penny. Now I am a third-year student at the Polytechnic Faculty of Automotive Engineering. I work part-time as a car mechanic and help repair cars for all my friends.

Layout of identification numbers under the hood

The photo below shows schematically where all the identification numbers are located under the hood.


The numbers indicate the location of the ID numbers.

  1. The car number marking ( VIN code ) is located here.
  2. Under the number two, all the installation passport data.
  3. The engine number is located under the thermostat housing, on the cylinder block . For convenience, you will have to move the air filter housing to the side.


Engine number here!

In order to check the engine number, you need to have a wire brush and WD-40 on hand in advance to make it easier to read dirty or corroded symbols.

VIN code

The vehicle identification number, in addition to being on the support cup under the hood, is also stamped in the niche for the spare wheel in the trunk . As a rule, they are always readable after a little cleaning with a rag.

We have already written more about the engine diagram here!

The same cannot be said about the engine number, since its location is subject to constant exposure to road salt, reagents and high moisture. To make it easier to clean and read this number, you need to remove the air filter housing with the corrugation and you will see 2 rows of numbers on the block.


Clean numbers are much easier to read.

The top row indicates the engine model, and the bottom row directly indicates its number.

Where is the engine identification number on the VAZ 2110

Attention! On vehicles from the USA, the engine number is not indicated on the engine; it is present in the passport or plates with a VIN code, which provide information about the car as a whole.

Now let's talk specifically about the VAZ 2110 models. On domestic passenger cars, the engine coding and data about the car as a whole can be located in the following places:

  • under the trunk. To look, the car owner will need to remove the rear wheel;
  • on the telescopic stand on the right side of the device.

It is the engine number that can be found on the internal combustion engine itself. It is a collection of numbers consisting of two rows. Regardless of the modification of the VAZ 2110, it will be in one place.

Engine number on 16 valve

On a 16-valve engine, the vehicle owner will find the coding at the end of the cylinder block under the thermostat housing. The table with the vehicle's passport data is located to the left of the engine. On the same side, the car owner will find the car identification code.

There is no need to confuse the nameplate and engine coding. Many novice car owners confuse engine coding with general information. Based on the summary information, you can purchase spare parts for cars of this particular modification. This is also discussed a little further in the article.

Engine number on 8 valve

The coding on the 8-valve VAZ 2110 engine is stamped where these symbols are punched on the sixteen-valve engine. They are identical despite different modifications. Metal symbols with VIN code and VAZ 2110 identification code are also on the left.

However, there are exceptions. On old or new modifications of the vehicle, the body coding may be hidden in a non-standard place. For novice car enthusiasts, it will take time to find information. Experienced ones will find it quickly.

Let's talk about exceptions.

The engine number for the hatchback is 2112 3 doors: 1 6 – 89 hp and 1 8 – 120

On eight-valve engines, the corresponding markings are applied on a flat panel, directly next to the thermostat. To gain access to the inscription, the driver will need to remove the air filter - this will allow access to the required area of ​​the engine.


Next you need to use a special cleaner and a metal brush. The socket is located in a place that is highly susceptible to contamination and sludge formation.

Engine number VAZ 2112

Finding a table with engine data designation often requires a lot of time and effort for novice car enthusiasts. This is due to the fact that the metal is covered with a thick layer of dirt or changes under the influence of corrosion. Constant exposure to external factors is considered dangerous, because they lead to corrosion of the metal used or serious contamination. Visual perception of the number becomes impossible without prior preparation. It is often necessary to pre-clean the table.

Advice! Usually, cleaning measures are carried out before checking. To do this, use a metal brush and a special cleaning agent. After the preliminary procedure, it becomes easier to read the symbols to resolve vehicle-related issues.

The engine number on a VAZ 2112 can be seen after removing the air filter of the power unit. Two rows of digital designations (model and serial number) are traditionally stamped on the unit block.

VAZ 2111 where is the body number on

I pour the waste into the doors and thresholds. and nothing rusts. I do this in the fall, before winter. Can you tell me how to remove the plastic plate from the back door where the wiper sticks out?

Body identification number (VIN code) Lada Granta

When registering, the traffic police inspector will check the body number in the documents (car title) with the real one, which is duplicated on the body. Also, when purchasing a car, we recommend checking these numbers and visually inspecting the location on the body.

Where is the body number?

The body number is located under the hood. Duplicated in two places.

    The number is stamped on the body next to the “glass” on the right support of the car.

Since you have already climbed into the trunk, we recommend installing a net in it. Read more about how to choose a net for the trunk here.

When I registered it, I looked for the body number in the usual place for AvtoVAZ. This place is the trunk niche for the spare tire; this is where the number was on all my previous Lada models (VAZ-2109, VAZ-2114, VAZ-2115, LADA PRIORA).

In a Lada Granta car there is no body number in the trunk niche!

Where is the VAZ-2114 8 valve engine number: photo and video

Car: VAZ-2114. Asked by: Ivan Smirnov. The essence of the question: How to check the engine number?

Hello! Please tell me where to find the engine number on a VAZ-2114 engine? I’m planning to buy myself a car and want to know if it’s necessary to check it, because I think it’s not necessary, anyway, there’s no way to interrupt it, but my friends advise the exact opposite! I would like to hear independent commentary and advice on this matter.

The need to verify the number

The arrow indicates where to look for the engine number

Whenever you buy a car, you need to check the engine number with what is on the documents. This applies to both registration and deregistration of the vehicle. Below, we will tell you where to find the engine number on a VAZ-2114 car.

The following two tabs change content below.

The need to check the engine and body numbers, without exception, on any vehicle is primarily due to the fact that you do not purchase a stolen car.

Further, difficulties may arise if the engine is no longer original. It could have been changed, for example, removed from disassembly. And during verification, unnecessary problems will arise.

All numbers and letters indicated on the unit must completely coincide with those in the documents, excluding cases of correction. It is also necessary to pay attention to their integrity, that is, they should not have any mechanical damage.

Where can I look up the engine number on a VAZ-2114?

In total, there is one place on the car where the engine number is stamped - it is on the cylinder block on the right side, next to the thermostat, right above the clutch housing.

The engine number is clearly visible once you reach it.

The location of the number is indicated by an arrow.

Please note that in order to see it, you may need to dismantle the air filter housing, along with the pipes.

Information plate

The number is duplicated on the information plate on the right side of the front pillar, along with the engine body number, which is stamped below the spare wheel and the front pillar on the right.

Identification plate under the hood

The sign is marked with a red marker.

The above plate is intended to inform the owner about all the information about the car: year of manufacture, manufacturer, etc. As in the case of the engine and body number, pay attention to the integrity of this plate, the absence of damage or chips on it. It itself should be smooth, and have intact rivets holding it in place.

If there are traces of rust on it, then it is best to clean it so that this does not subsequently affect the general condition of the information materials.

What to do if the number is interrupted

If there is a suspicion that the motor symbols are broken, then it is recommended to refuse to purchase such a machine. It is possible that she may be stolen.

If the car owner has already bought the car and only found out during registration that the number has been changed, then nothing can be done about it. You should sell the car for parts. Since the MREO employees will no longer hand over the documents. But it is prohibited to drive such a car, and it is prohibited to sell it assembled.

If only the engine number is interrupted, then it may be possible to come to an agreement and buy a new engine. But only if the car is not listed as stolen. This rarely happens.

Decoding the VIN 2112 code

The vehicle's VIN is located on the rear pillar in the trunk and under the hood. You can decipher the marking as follows.

  1. The first three characters indicate the manufacturer's index. The continent, the country of production and the plant itself are encrypted here.
  2. Next, six numbers are indicated indicating the model of the vehicle.
  3. Next is a Latin letter indicating the year of manufacture of the car.
  4. And the last part of the index is applied to determine the serial number of the body.

Decoding the number on the VAZ 2110

Until the eighties, the encoding had only 11 or 15 characters. In the early eighties, 2 more designations were added. Therefore, now the car owner sees a standard value of 17 digits. Each number has a certain height - 10 mm. It is applied to the plate using the impact method, and is preserved in this way for a long time and is not erased.

What can you find out from the VIN of a VAZ 2110 car:

  • year of manufacture of the domestic vehicle;
  • code of the engine and other spare parts for the car;
  • model VAZ 2110;
  • maximum weight of a loaded vehicle;
  • weight that should not exceed the load on each axle separately;
  • information about the manufacturer where the VAZ 2110 vehicle was created.

The Vin number is as important as the symbols on the engine. Without the correct data in the technical passport and on the vehicle plates, the vehicle cannot be sold or registered with the MREO.

What to do if the engine is dirty and the license plate is not visible

In unfavorable operating conditions of the vehicle, the engine becomes dirty. The inscriptions become invisible if you do not clear them. Rust eats away the metal to such an extent that the embossed information turns into a mess of incomprehensible symbols.

If the car's engine code or data plate is simply dirty, then you need to take a metal brush and clean the dirty area. If the dirt does not come off, then it is necessary to use acetic acid or an alcohol solution. WD 40 often becomes a car owner’s assistant in overcoming dirt and rust. Use a WD-ashka to remove dirty deposits.

To prevent corrosion, it is necessary to lubricate the surface with the symbols with lithol. Many will say that then dust will stick to it faster. But lithol will save you from rusting and eating important symbols.

What to do if the number is unreadable

If the VAZ 2110 engine number is not readable, you should contact the traffic police. Employees will order an examination. The procedure itself is free. But experts should be paid for their work.

A similar problem is often encountered when removing or registering a car. But, if the car owner independently noticed that his license plate has rotted, he should contact the traffic police.

The examination procedure consists of the following steps:

  1. Employees will check to see if the number is truly unreadable. Then they will give you a ticket.
  2. According to the date specified in the coupon, the car owner will need to come for the procedure.
  3. Experts will come and remove all the parts from under the hood to make the job easier.
  4. For about an hour they will lubricate the rotted number with various reagents in order to find at least some clue.
  5. They will take photographs of the place where the encoding is located from different angles. Then they will compare photos and try to read the engine code.

If you still manage to read the engine coding after exposure to chemical reagents, then the car owner will write this number in the vehicle’s technical passport. Now it must be lubricated with lithol so that it does not rot completely after exposure to chemical reagents.

Attention! The procedure time can be extended to a month or even two months. Not all employees do their jobs as expected. Therefore, the car owner needs to call the traffic police on his own once a week to find out how the matter is progressing with determining the encoding of the VAZ 2110 engine.

If the number has completely rotted, then it will take experts about half a month to check. When it is determined that the car is not registered as stolen, when they can determine the actual engine number, it will also be registered in the car owner’s title. The passport will indicate that the encoding has rotted naturally.

If it turns out that the VIN code is different, then a criminal case may be opened. What to do if the engine identification code is broken is written in the block above.

where is the VAZ engine number 2110-2111-2112-2109, etc.

Problems and malfunctions: if the 2112 engine is running differently, it is adjusting differently - measure the compression, is it normal? Inspect the ignition module, high-voltage wires and spark plugs, these are the main tasks in this case. VAZ engine speed fluctuates 2112

1.5, the following should come under suspicion: throttle valve (clean), idle speed control, crankshaft position sensor, throttle position sensor (inspect, change) or not? Then the DMRV will blame. Subsequent malfunction, at idle and when driving (when changing gears), the engine , a problem in the dirty throttle valve, or in the IAC (idle speed controller), maybe TPS (throttle position sensor). Let's look further, the engine

2112 won't start, what's the reason?
1st is the starter and battery, 2nd is the ignition system, third is the power supply system, if you can’t hear the fuel pump running, check its power supply, is this a good period? Check the pressure in the fuel supply system. Another malfunction, engine , in other words, it heats up disgustingly to operating temperature, the thermostat has died, change it and drive without effort. What next, do you hear some knocking noise in the VAZ 2112 ? There is almost always a problem with the hydraulic compensators. On the contrary, they have nothing to do with it, then there is low or very high oil pressure or the connecting rod or main bearings are knocking, and of course the pistons are also knocking. In our example, it is better to go to a service center for diagnostics. It’s better to go for diagnostics and for which the design is intended when the VAZ 2112 engine pulls poorly, then you need to measure the fuel pressure in the rail, maybe it’s the injectors, maybe the filters are clogged, or maybe the clutch has just arrived. That's not all :) Can you feel the vibration of the VAZ 2112 engine? Problem with: idle speed regulator, high-voltage wires, spark plugs, lambda probe, voltage regulator, clogged injectors, incorrect ignition timing. The list is solid, so as not to guess and waste time, let’s go for diagnostics.

Possible faults

With proper care, the engine unit of the 12th family works flawlessly, because the basic design was created in collaboration with the German company Porsche, an authority in the field of engine building. The only “jamb” is the use of a belt drive. D

The problem is not even in her, but in the fact that the VAZ people stubbornly refuse to take into account Russian realities. The use of a timing belt requires high-quality spare parts, which, unfortunately, we can only dream of. And not everyone carries out regulated maintenance, relying on the well-known Russian “maybe”.
