Where is the VIN number of the Lada Granta?

Decoding Vin Lada Granta

The international structure for determining information by VIN code is also used by VAZ.
The first three letters indicate the manufacturer's index, which indicates the geographical area, country and manufacturer. The next 6 digits indicate the vehicle model. The 10th position indicates the year of manufacture of the vehicle. Moreover, starting from July 2009, the encoding began to repeat itself. Unlike European brands, which indicate various technical characteristics of their cars in the VIN code, the domestic manufacturer was short and concise. The last seven digits indicate the body number provided by the manufacturer. Enter your VIN code and click the check button. A database search will be performed.

What data is encrypted in the VIN number?

the first three characters make up the WMI part; this is the manufacturer identification number and the country in which the vehicle was assembled. For example, the VIN number of cars manufactured in Japan begins with the letter “J”, and in the United States of America it begins with the number “1”.

characters from 10 to 17 are numbers and letters (the last four are always numbers) that allow you to identify a specific car (this part is unique for each car), engine version, drive type, accessories, etc. In addition, it is in this parts, information about the year of production of the model and the plant where the vehicle was manufactured is encoded (the year is always encrypted in place of the tenth character).

Model year

Note. The model year of production of VAZ cars begins on October 1, three months earlier than the calendar year.

The engine model and serial number are stamped on the left end of the cylinder block above the clutch housing.

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 to look

There are several places where you can look up the engine number on a car. Reconciliation of the stamped code and the code indicated in the database will be an additional guarantee that the original internal combustion engine is installed on the vehicle. The one that was offered by the manufacturer as the optimal power unit for a particular car.

When inspecting the vehicle

In addition to the documents for the car (PTS and registration certificate), the car’s engine number is located on the unit itself. Most often on the side or top of the block head. But different brands may have their own individual places that the manufacturer has determined for marking. You can find it after a thorough inspection of the unit and adjacent components. Typically the identifier is located at:

• the junction of the internal combustion engine and the transmission shaft (as on the Audi A4, Volkswagen Golf, Passat, Skoda Fabia, etc.);
• timing belt casing;
• manifold (intake, radiator cooling);
• near the dipstick to determine the oil level (as on a Chevrolet Lanos, for example).

Very rarely - on the wheel arch, as in Land Cruisers.

Where is the engine number on a VAZ 2112 car?

On cars that are more than 10 years old and on trucks, it can be difficult to see the markings due to corrosion of the metal plate: the stamped number may be partially erased. In this case, it is recommended to calculate the internal combustion engine identifier using operational documents.

For example, the Mercedes brand for its models, regardless of the year of manufacture, stamps the identifier on a plate, which is installed above the engine mount bracket on the left. Some car models before 2005 have a code stamped on the cylinder head on the rear wall. For Mercedes diesel engines, the plate is always on the left.

For all VAZ models, starting from 2101 to 2107, the engine number is stamped between the third and fourth spark plugs.

By VIN code

The VIN code can only decipher the class and type of engine. To find out whether the original internal combustion engine is on the car or a contract one after repair, you need to check the manufacturer’s database and information from the technical. documentation for a specific model.

Vehicle VIN code

The second part of the VIN code is responsible for the technical characteristics of the vehicle, which consists of 6 characters and refers to the descriptive part. The indicated fifth character symbol indicates the type and model of the motor, but does not carry information about the identification serial number of the assembly team.

Through the traffic police

Using the traffic police database, you can find out by the engine number whether the car has been stolen or not. The check is carried out online, free of charge. The traffic police database provides complete information about whether a car with such an engine is listed as stolen if the car is officially registered in the country.

On American-made engines, there are no stamped codes on the power unit. Therefore, you will need to check the car for theft by matching the VIN code on the car and in the title.

Information about whether the car has the original engine or whether the unit has been replaced cannot be found out from this database.

Through specialized services

You can find out the data on the car engine through specialized online services: “Autocode”, “Autobot”. Services provided include deciphering the vehicle’s VIN code, providing data on the specific model and units that the vehicle was equipped with from the factory.

Is there a body number in the cabin?

Before going and registering the car, I read on the Internet that there is a duplicate number in the car under the back seat in the middle. It was also written that you need to lower the backrest, pull the upholstery out of the seal, or find a slot in the upholstery under which the number will be located.

This information is not correct, and on a Lada Granta car as standard, there is no body number in these places!

Where are the body numbers on the grant?

Our clients who want to purchase painted parts for Lada cars often have a question: how to find out the exact name of the color? For example, the Lada Granta has 4 shades of black.

So, to find out the exact name of the color of a Lada car, you will need the car’s service book or warranty card.

You don’t need to look at the registration certificate; there the MREO indicates the color of your choice.

The name of the body color of Lada cars consists of 3 numbers and the name of the color.

In the service book it looks like this:

Here's what the warranty card says:

The color name after its digital designation may differ from the factory color name. For example, the color “691 silver” may be specified. The factory name for this color is “691 Platinum”. Thus, when ordering parts in body color, you need to focus specifically on the digital color code.

For Datsun cars, the color designation is different; at the moment, the color correspondence table is as follows:

If you do not have a warranty card or service book for the car, you can determine the color by the date of issue of the vehicle passport (according to the AvtoVAZ painting plan).

To determine the color by the date of issue of the vehicle passport, you need to follow the link https://avtosreda.ru/colorplans/2016/03.php, select the year and month of issue of the PTS, select the car model in the painting plan table, and select the color. The painting plan is valid only for cars assembled in Togliatti. For cars assembled in Izhevsk, we recommend contacting the AvtoVAZ feedback system.

If you have a duplicate PTS or the color of the car cannot be selected according to the painting plan, you can inform about the color of the car through the feedback system of AvtoVAZ PJSC, indicating the VIN number of the car. To ask a question, follow the link https://www.lada.ru/feedback/message.html

You can also contact us for help by writing to us by email, we will try to help you.

By law, each vehicle has an identification number (VIN code). This number is recorded in the vehicle passport (PTS). The identification number and other passport data are indicated on the summary plate, and the VIN code is also stamped on the body. Do you know where the VIN and engine number are located on XRAY?

Design and construction

The first representative of the Lada “Granta” family received an all-metal 4-door body designed for 5 passengers, as well as front-wheel drive, and although the car was new at the time of its appearance, some parts were borrowed from the outdated “Kalina” with a sedan body. Such parts include the body frame, doors and some other mechanisms. Among the innovations, it can be noted that it was on the Grant that negative camber of the rear wheels was first used for greater stability on the road and for trouble-free cornering at high speed. The car's front suspension is independent, MacPherson spring type, spring, with anti-roll bar, and the rear is semi-independent, wishbone, spring, with telescopic shock absorbers. The first Lada Granta cars were equipped with a gearbox from the same Kalina with a lever drive; this gearbox was already quite outdated for its time, because it was created on the basis of old manual gearboxes that appeared back in the days of the VAZ-2108 , but with minor changes. After modernizing the car, the gearbox was also modernized and received a cable drive, this made it possible to reduce backlash and eliminate unpleasant vibrations of the gearshift lever, and also made shifting clearer. Currently, in addition to the 5-speed manual gearbox, a 4-speed automatic and 5-speed robotic gearbox are installed.
