Checking and matching the engine number with the documents is the first thing a potential car owner should do before making a purchase. This operation needs to be carried out not only for VAZ cars. You can change or erase the engine number on any vehicle, regardless of the year and place of its production.
So, there are two reasons for confirming the number against official data:
- Registration of the vehicle. To the road inspection authorities, the presence of the correct VIN code indicates the legal origin of the car. However, this is not the only situation where they may need to be checked. If a similar car is listed as stolen, a traffic inspector has the right to stop the driver for a quick check. The absence of a whole number in this case can lead to unfavorable consequences.
- Purchasing a car on the secondary market. And if everything is very clear with the official requirements, then in the case of purchasing a vehicle from a private person, you need to be extremely vigilant. Stolen cars often have their license plates erased or changed. This is done so that there is no possibility of finding the car, and an inattentive buyer gives money for the car. One way or another, careful inspection before purchasing is a must.
This equally applies to people who are putting their car up for sale. Before this, it is necessary to check the integrity of the VIN code, the broken state of which may lead to the loss of the buyer.
So, now you need to determine where to look for the number and how to decipher it.
Why know where the number is
The need to compare the engine identifier with what is indicated in the documents supplied with the vehicle is obvious to anyone who purchases a vehicle secondhand.
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 not difficult to verify that the VAZ is not mortgaged to the bank, really belongs to the seller 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 is not particularly difficult to identify a fake - just look at the stamp through a magnifying glass. Scratches and emerging silhouettes of other numbers are not its only sign. Substitution is also indicated by uneven stitching 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 save you from a lot of worries 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 must be compared with what is stored in the traffic police database. A discrepancy of one figure will not only make registration impossible, but will also be sufficient grounds for starting an investigation.
Owners who decide to sell their VAZ model 2115, for their part, are also required to know where the power plant number is located and make every effort to maintain its readability. This will prevent doubts from arising among the buyer who is 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:
To gain direct access to the inscription, it is advisable to dismantle the air filter and all the hoses going to it. This procedure takes approximately 10 minutes and even a completely inexperienced driver can cope with it.
The number itself is stamped on the power 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 periodically.
List of places to indicate the engine number for a number of popular car brands
auto | Number indicator location | scheme |
Audi cars | ||
A3 | 2006-08 years of manufacture From the left edge, in the place where the engine and gearbox connect |
There is also a plate with a number index on the casing
2005-08 years of production.

There is also a number plate on the lid
2006-2008 years of production.
On the left side, at the place where the engine connects to the gearbox.
Information tag
In addition to the papers for the car and the aforementioned brand, all information is also present on a special metal plate that is attached to the body with rivets. It states:
- VAZ-2115 body identifier;
- year of issue;
- Business name;
- some technical characteristics of the car.
When you open the hood, you will immediately see a rectangular tag. It is located on the opposite edge of the engine compartment, slightly to the left of center when facing the windshield.
Despite the fact that the described plate only duplicates the information, its safety is also important. Clean it regularly, remove rust and ensure secure fastening.
You can also find the VIN code at:
- right front axle shock absorber strut;
- in the trunk, at the bottom of the spare wheel niche.
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 shows the actual 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 five numbers. They report on the configuration option of the car.
In the center at the top is the familiar abbreviation VAZ - there is no point in deciphering 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 domestic automaker. They are followed by 5 digits - the car model, for example, 21150. After it comes the year (for example, 07 is 2007). Next are seven characters of the body number.
The type of power unit is indicated below, 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.

Identification numbers
VIN structure |
Improvement of products is a continuous process of any continuous production. At the same time, with the exception of cases of major changes in the design of models coming off the assembly line, the results of the modification process are not covered in the vehicle’s operating manual. However, the manufacturer draws up numbered lists of manufactured spare parts, which is why the information encoded in the vehicle identification numbers is of particular importance when purchasing the latter. When placing an order for the necessary spare part, try to provide the seller with as much information as possible about your car. Be sure to provide the model name, year of manufacture, as well as body and power unit numbers.
- The chassis number is stamped on the front panel of the car body.
- The engine number is stamped on the cylinder block.
- The transmission number plate is attached to the top of the transmission housing.
Don't confuse the transmission number with the engine number.
VEHICLES WITH 5 DOOR HATCHBACK
There is no chassis number on the front cross member (above the radiator).
On some modifications of the car, the chassis and engine numbers are duplicated on a plate that is attached to the front panel of the body.
On other modifications of the car, a plate with the chassis number is located on the front cross member of the body (above the radiator).
Some vehicle options include a certification plate located on the rear end of the driver's door.
VEHICLES WITH 5 DOOR HATCHBACK
There is no certification plate on the end of the driver's door.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
This extremely important number is stamped on the rear bulkhead of the engine compartment, as well as on a nameplate mounted on the instrument panel under the windshield on the driver's side of the car. The VIN is also entered into the vehicle title and registration certificate. The number contains information about the date/place of manufacture and body type of the car (see accompanying illustration).
Engine code and model year
The two main components of the VIN are the model year code and the assembly line/body/engine code.
Counting from left to right, the 4th, 5th and 6th positions of the number are assigned to the assembly/body/engine line code. Thus, Civic models are determined by the following combinations:
EJ6 = 3-door/D16Y7 EJ7 = 2-door/D16Y5 EJ8 = 4-door/D16Y8
Integra models are characterized by combinations:
DB7 = 4-door/B18B1 DB8 = 4-door/B18С1 DC2 = 3-door/В18С1, В18С5 DC4 = 3-door/В18В1
The tenth position of the VIN determines the year of manufacture of the model:
R = 1994 S = 1995 T = 1996 V = 1997 W = 1998
Engine number
The engine number, which is impossible to do without when ordering spare parts for the power unit, is located on the right (on the passenger side of the car) on the block, next to the exhaust manifold. The first five positions of the number determine the engine code. This manual covers models equipped with the following four engine types:
D16Y5 = 1.6 l, SOHC, 16-valve, VTEC-E D16Y7 = 1.6 l, SOHC, 16-valve D16Y7 = 1.6 l, SOHC, 16-valve, VTEC
В18В1 = 1.8 l, DOHC, 16-valve В18С1 = 1.8 l, SOHC, 16-valve, VTEC В18С5 = 1.8 l, DOHC, 16-valve, VTEC
Transmission number
This number is required when ordering spare parts for transmission line repair. On models equipped with a manual transmission, the transmission number is stamped on the clutch dome, next to the starter. On models with AT, the number is located on the right front of the transmission housing, near the dipstick. On models equipped with CVT, the number is located on a vertical platform, also near the dipstick.
Where is the engine number on the VAZ-2114: question about the 8 valve
Car : VAZ-2114. Asks : Smirnov Ivan. 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 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.
What to do if the engine number is unreadable?
It is not surprising, but older generation cars are highly susceptible to corrosion. And it’s one thing when the damage affects the body, and quite another when the numerical values of the engine number on a VAZ 2114 are affected. The driver faces consequences during the first traffic police inspection.
If you find the code unreadable, do not attempt to sand the metal or use acid. This will damage the numbers, and employees may consider the result to be code tampering. The only thing you can do in this situation is to moisten a rag with brake fluid and wipe the VAZ 2114 engine number. This method will save you from loose corrosion and the inscription will become like new. It is advisable to carry out this procedure regularly. If cleaning the metal does not help, then you will be sent for examination. This process is not quick and is paid by the driver. Your PTS will be taken away and your registration will be seized. Therefore, if you were planning to sell or buy a car, you will have to wait. When you pass the examination, a mark will be placed in the PTS if it is proven that no interference with the code was detected and it was lost due to natural reasons. Unfortunately, this does not always happen and there is a chance that you will not complete the procedure the first time. In this case, the car owner faces big problems. To prevent such an outcome, it is enough to clean the engine compartment from time to time. By the way, this will not only help preserve the engine data, but will also provide it with better cooling, since heat removal from the metal will take place much faster
As you noticed, traffic police officers treat the engine number and VIN code with special attention. Not surprising, because these are two characteristics of a car that significantly influence its confirmation.
Therefore, when buying a car, first of all, check the numbers in the documents and in the vehicle itself, and after the purchase, monitor their condition. This is not difficult to do; it is enough to clean the engine compartment and the engine injector block (8 valves) from time to time. This service is available at many car washes, and it can also be performed manually. By taking care of your car, you will not have unnecessary problems and hassle with documents in the future if you want to sell or re-register it.
The need to verify the number
Checking and matching the engine number with the documents is the first thing a potential car owner should do before making a purchase. This operation needs to be carried out not only for VAZ cars. You can change or erase the engine number on any vehicle, regardless of the year and place of its production.
So, there are two reasons for confirming the number against official data:
- Registration of the vehicle. To the road inspection authorities, the presence of the correct VIN code indicates the legal origin of the car. However, this is not the only situation where they may need to be checked. If a similar car is listed as stolen, a traffic inspector has the right to stop the driver for a quick check. The absence of a whole number in this case can lead to unfavorable consequences.
- Purchasing a car on the secondary market. And if everything is very clear with the official requirements, then in the case of purchasing a vehicle from a private person, you need to be extremely vigilant. Stolen cars often have their license plates erased or changed. This is done so that there is no possibility of finding the car, and an inattentive buyer gives money for the car. One way or another, careful inspection before purchasing is a must.
This equally applies to people who are putting their car up for sale. Before this, it is necessary to check the integrity of the VIN code, the broken state of which may lead to the loss of the buyer.
So, now you need to determine where to look for the number and how to decipher it.
What engines is the VAZ 2107 equipped with?
The VAZ 2107 model was produced from 1982 to 2012. Over the 30 years of its existence, the car has been repeatedly refined and changed to more accurately meet modern requirements. Initially, the “seven” was conceived as a small-class rear-wheel drive car in a sedan body. However, in some countries the VAZ 2107 was refined and modified, which is why it can be considered a universal car model.
Depending on the year of manufacture and the country of origin (at different times, the VAZ 2107 was produced not only by the Russian AvtoVAZ, but also by factories in European and Asian countries), the model was equipped with different types of propulsion systems:
- LADA-2107 (engine 2103, 1.5 l, 8 cells, carburetor);
- LADA-21072 (engine 2105, 1.3 l, 8 cl., carburetor, timing belt drive);
- LADA-21073 (engine 1.7 l, 8 cells, mono injection - export version for the European market);
- LADA-21074 (engine 2106, 1.6 l, 8 cl., carburetor);
- LADA-21070 (engine 2103, 1.5 l, 8 cl., carburetor);
- LADA-2107–20 (engine 2104, 1.5 l, 8 cells, distributed injection, Euro-2);
- LADA-2107–71 (engine 1.4 l, 66 hp, engine 21034 for A-76 gasoline, version for China);
- LADA-21074–20 (engine 21067–10, 1.6 l, 8 cl., distributed injection, Euro-2);
- LADA-21074–30 (engine 21067–20, 1.6 l, 8 cl., distributed injection, Euro-3);
- LADA-210740 (engine 21067, 1.6 l, 53 kW/72.7 hp 8 cells, injector, catalyst) (2007);
- LADA-21077 (engine 2105, 1.3 l, 8 cl., carburetor, timing belt drive - export version for the UK);
- LADA-21078 (engine 2106, 1.6 l, 8 cl., carburetor - export version for the UK);
- LADA-21079 (rotary piston engine 1.3 l, 140 hp, originally created for the needs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB);
- LADA-2107 ZNG (engine 21213, 1.7 l, 8 cells, central injection).
The carburetor has two combustion chambers, a float section and many small control elements
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.
Information plate
In addition to the engine and official documents, an information sheet is attached to the car body. Using it you can find out the body and engine number of the VAZ 2115. The table also contains the year in which the vehicle was produced; the plant that produced the car; and other information necessary for the driver and traffic inspectors.
It is located on the right A-pillar. However, you should not assume that it is only a “backup option”, because it only duplicates information and does not provide it as a primary source. It also requires regular care and maintenance in good condition. This implies a smooth surface of the table itself, no rust and the presence of fixing rivets.
How to decipher the VIN code
Now that the body, engine and assembly number of the VAZ 2115 has been revealed, it is worth highlighting each value in the VIN code separately. A good example is the information plate, which provides all the basic information necessary for most cases. It is as follows:
Now, in order about each point:
- A special ID whose direct purpose is to match spare parts. The same number corresponds to the ID, which indicates the serial number of the vehicle.
- A meaning that indicates the vehicle's approval.
- A special identifier in which XTA is the code of the plant that produced the car; 211440 — vehicle model; 6 - year in which the vehicle was produced; 0000000 (last 7 digits) - body serial ID.
- Ordinal value of the installed motor model.
- Permissible possible load on the front axle.
- Permissible possible load on the rear axle.
- Identification IDs of configuration and execution options.
- Permissible vehicle weight.
- Permissible weight of the vehicle if it has a trailer.
Without this information, it is impossible to navigate the basic vehicle documentation.
Knowing where the VIN is located can help save several hours in the event of a quick inspection or sale of the car. That is why it is worth spending a little time to find the VAZ 2115 engine number - this will help prevent the occurrence of unfavorable situations.
Where is the engine number on the VAZ 2115: Explanation and photo
All VAZ 2115 models, starting from the year of manufacture, have a simple design, which easily allows you to check the engine number on a VAZ without referring to the official documentation of the vehicle. However, it is worth taking a closer look at the need for the number, its decoding and the contents of the information plate.

Types of ECU (esud, controller). What kind of ECUs are installed on VAZ?
“January-4”, “GM-09”
The very first controllers on SAMARA were January-4, GM - 09. They were installed on the first models before the year 2000. These models were produced both with and without a resonant knock sensor.
The table contains two columns: 1st column – ECU number, second column – brand of “brains”, firmware version, toxicity standard, distinctive features.

As a rule, this type of controller is released onto the market and installed at the factory in a single volume. Has a standard 55-pin connector. Capable of working with recrossing on other types of ECM.
“Bosch M7.9.7”
These brains began to be part of the car at the end of 2003. This controller has its own connector, which is incompatible with connectors produced before this model. This type of ECU is installed on VAZ with EURO-2 and EURO-3 toxicity standards. This ECM is lighter weight and smaller in size than previous models. There is also a more reliable connector with increased reliability. They include a switch, which will generally increase the reliability of the controller.
This ECU is in no way compatible with previous controllers.
"VS 5.1"
The following types of hardware implementation are distinguished:
- simultaneous injection;
- in pairs - parallel injection;
- phased injection.
“VS 5.1” is interchangeable with “Bosch M1.5.4”, “January 5.1.x”.
“January 7.2.”
This type of ECU is made with a different type of wiring (81 pins) and is similar to Boshevsky 7.9.7+. This type of ECU is produced both by Itelma and Avtel. Interchangeable with Bosch M.7.9.7. As for the software, 7.2 is a continuation of January 5th.

The VAZ 2115 engine, like all engines in the series, has fairly high technical characteristics and reliability. Thus, throughout the history of production, several variants of engines produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant were installed on the vehicle.
Specifications and description
The VAZ 2115 has technical characteristics that are quite typical for the 2113-2115 family of models. Thus, the well-known engines of the 2111 and 1118 series were installed on the car. Let’s consider the main characteristics and design of the power unit:
VAZ 2111
VAZ 21114
VAZ 11183
Like the 2114, the 15th model had engines similar in characteristics and design. Of course, the VAZ 2115 engine did not receive the injector 16-valve power unit that car enthusiasts so wanted. Nevertheless, the car still managed to gain popularity and become popular not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries.
Service and Frequently Asked Questions
The design of the 2115 engine allows the car enthusiast to carry out vehicle maintenance with his own hands. The service interval is 13-15 thousand kilometers. For those who want to preserve the engine longer and extend its service life, it is recommended to reduce the period of scheduled maintenance to 10,000 km.
In addition to the scheduled oil change, other diagnostic work should be carried out on the VAZ 2115 engine at each service center. For example, it is necessary to visually inspect the engine for leaks, check the condition of the timing belt and diagnose the performance of all systems and sensors. It is worth remembering that good maintenance extends the life of the engine.

If you rely on the manufacturer’s data, then different oil is poured into the VAZ 2114 engine, depending on the type. So, what kind of oil should you put in the VAZ 2114? If you take it for an 8 valve engine, then ideally it would be suitable with the 10W-40 marking.
If it is a 16 valve engine - 5W-30. In any case, the oil for the VAZ 2114 should be semi-synthetic.
What is the operating temperature of the engine?
Based on the manufacturer's data, the operating temperature of the motor for engines installed on models 2113-2115 is 87-103 degrees Celsius. After 105 degrees the electric fan turns on.
Where is the engine number on the VAZ 2114?
The engine number is quite easy to find. It is located on the gearbox side, near the thermostat. The engine number always has a pad on the cylinder block, which is located in a visible place.
What is the resource of ICE 2114?
The service life of the VAZ 2114 engine is 150 thousand km for an eight-valve power unit and 180,000 km for a 16-valve power unit. To extend the service life, you need to know what oil to pour into the engine, as well as service it on time. Although driving style and careful operation of the car play an important role.
Do valves bend on VAZ 2114 engines?
Of course, like in any other engine, the VAZ 2114 has a valve mechanism that bends. This often happens due to overheating, when the head bends. The valves can also bend if the timing belt breaks.
What to do if the engine does not develop power and the speed drops?
In this case, it is worth carrying out a comprehensive diagnosis of the power unit. The issue may lie either in the inoperability of one of the sensors or in the mechanics. You can find the fault on your own or with the help of professionals at a car service center.
Engine malfunctions and repairs

The fault diagram of the 2114 motor and its modifications is quite typical. Typically, the most common ones are floating speed, tripping, pump failure, as well as others that car owners are familiar with in detail. Where certain faults are located can be determined by carrying out diagnostic work.
After 150,000 km, the engine will need a bulkhead (overhaul). Every car enthusiast can repair his engine on his own, but many do not take risks and turn to a car service center.
For the VAZ 2114, repairs are carried out by analogy with the 2108 engine, since they are quite similar. In order to replace the timing belt, you will have to fix the camshafts. The set of replacement operations includes changing the timing belt, a roller or two, as well as adjusting the valves.
To replace the water pump, you will have to fix the camshafts, just like to change the timing belt. Because the belt also passes through the pump, and therefore the process is quite complicated.

Where can I find the VIN number on an engine?
A VIN code is a kind of unique car number that is responsible for its identification and helps to ensure that the car is distinguished from a similar one in the event of theft. It has been installed on all cars produced in the world since the 1980s.
The VIN number for the VAZ 2114 is located in three places:
- Inside the engine compartment on the support of the right mudguard.
- On the floor reinforcement inside the luggage compartment.
- On the “recap plate” located on the engine.
Directly on the engine, the number can be viewed on the summary plate, which, in addition, has other important information, such as year of manufacture, gross permissible weight, etc.
It is important to remember that all three numbers, two on the body elements and one on the plate, must completely match. If the number on the summary plate does not correspond to the numbers on the body, there is a possibility that the engine is not original or the numbers have been changed.
When examining the number on the plate, you should pay attention to the same features of the numbers as when examining the numbers of the engine number. You should especially carefully examine the numbers 3 and 5, since they are easiest to unnoticeably switch to 8 and 6.
