What to do if the engine is dirty
Now that there are no questions regarding where the engine number may be located on the Prior, we need to consider the key problem.
There are cases that go beyond the standards. And so, if the driver has a dirty car engine, then there are two ways to find the VIN code. One good, one bad: damp cloth and sandpaper. Damp cloth. Suitable only for small dirt accumulations. It is possible to wipe them off with a slightly damp cloth and detergent, but doing this on the Lada Priora is easier due to the absence of complex design features.
Sandpaper. The method is less secure due to the fact that it can damage the number. However, if the layer of dirt is dense, then there is nothing else left. You need to scrub carefully, checking visibility after 2-3 movements.
If these methods do not help, then the only option left is a car wash due to the availability of professional cleaning products.
Vehicle identification numbers
According to existing legislation, each vehicle has an identification number (VIN code).
This number is recorded in the vehicle passport (PTS). The identification number and other passport data of the vehicle are indicated in the summary plate. Summary plate : 1 - number for spare parts (corresponds to the serial number of the car that came off the assembly line); 2 — vehicle type approval number; 3 - identification number (VIN code) (XTA - manufacturer code; 217230 - car model; 9 - year of manufacture; last seven digits - body number); 4 — engine model; 5 — load on the front axle; 6 — load on the rear axle; 7 — codes of vehicle version and configuration; 8 - maximum permissible vehicle weight; 9 - maximum permissible weight of a vehicle with a trailer.
The identification number is also stamped in the engine compartment on the amplifier (support cup) of the right mudguard
and on the luggage compartment floor reinforcement next to the spare wheel mounting bracket.
The engine model and number are stamped on the end of the cylinder block above the clutch housing.
To read the number, you need to remove the air filter housing and move the wiring harness to the side.

Where is the Lada Priora engine number?
This information interests people for a reason. The fact is that this data is often needed when stopped by traffic police officers. They often require this information and also ask to show where the number is located in order to verify the identity of the data in reality and in the technical passport. When buying a car on the secondary market, this information is also needed.
Items that can be used to find the number:
- instructions for use;
- technical certificate;
- lighting device.
Using these tools, you can find out what engine number your car has.
Life situations
Often, stolen cars cannot be verified by the VIN of the body, which is broken up in settling tanks. Many car enthusiasts, when buying a vehicle secondhand, do not even suspect that the car has been stolen. To determine the authenticity of the body marking, you need to find the engine identifier. Today, according to statistics, Lada Priora is one of the most stolen vehicles for committing crimes.
As practice shows, after committing crimes, the vehicle is burned to remove fingerprints and identification data. And only by the engine number, which does not burn out, can you determine which car it is, as well as the owner. Many times, murderers and other criminals have been identified thanks to the surviving engine ID.
Also, it is worth noting that if a stolen vehicle ends up in an international database, then it is no longer possible to deregister it in another country.
This made life quite difficult for criminals. But in a number of CIS countries, such as Ukraine, cars have not been identified by engine markings for several years now.
Why do you need an engine number?
Searching for information about the number - VIN code - of the engine on a Lada Priora is usually accompanied by two situations: problems with the traffic police or buying a car on the secondary market. In the first case, this is registration. It is necessary and everyone should have it, and its procedure is carried out exclusively according to the engine code.
In the second case, it is a check to see whether the car is stolen or not. It is worth noting here that if a stolen vehicle is sold, there will either be no VIN code at all, or it will not match the official documents. It is necessary to check it after purchase, otherwise unfavorable situations are possible.
One way or another, these are the main situations, a complete list of which is impossible to predict. Much more important are the documents where the code is located. These include:
- technical equipment passport;
- instructions;
- lighting device.
There is no VIN code in any other documents.
