Hi folks,

I just a got Mazda MPV, but have had challenges locating the engine number, so i put the licensing on hold.

All i was able to get was the chasis number, which is also the VIN.

The user manual does show me where it is, but i would definitely require dismantling some parts to get to it.

Please any advice in the house? I have had opinions like american spec of cars are usually licensed with just the VIN, is this true? If so any experiences with Police?

Any advice in the house.?

Mfon,

All cars have engine numbers. The VIN number definitely aint the engine number. Cars from North America usually have VIN numbers to identify and track them.

Had a toyota camry once, had trouble locating the engine number, but finally found it.

Get a mech to locate it for you. It is definitely on the engine block.

Cheers,


Jericho

Check on the web for the location of engine no for that specific vehicle.
A mechanic for Mazda, that knows such vehicles might be helpful. The mechanic that does not know might mess you up and give you the wrong engine no. I have had the experience once
