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?

What is VIN? This is an encrypted message in accordance with the recommendations of ISO (International Standard Organization) about who, where, when and in what configuration the vehicle was produced, as well as some other information.

The identification number consists of three sections (parts) filled with symbols - Arabic numerals and capital Latin letters, except I, O, Q. The letters I, O, Q are not used, since they can be confused with similar numbers. A given vehicle can only have one VIN. Another one, even if it is exactly the same color, will have a different VIN.

The VIN is assigned by the vehicle manufacturer. It does not matter whether the car is made from scratch by one manufacturer or assembled from car kits from other companies. So there can be no confusion with VIN codes - as, for example, with Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, who can only be distinguished by address and date of birth.

"largus" in letters and numbers

All cars participating in the 60 Hours Behind the Wheel marathon undergo longitudinal dynamics measurements. And twice - before and after the tests. Usually, cars are rolled out within a week, because about 10 thousand kilometers are added to the odometers. Therefore, the scores after the test are slightly higher than before. Editorial "Largus" is no exception.

Let's look at his data, I'll comment on some of it. Let's start with the most popular: acceleration and maximum speed. Well, the manufacturer’s honesty can be set as an example to many competitors - the Largus accelerates to 100 km/h only half a second slower than stated by the factory. And after the marathon, the indicators measured by the Za Rulem and Avtovaz experts were almost equal. As for the “maximum speed”, the station wagon even exceeded expectations, showing a speed 2 km/h higher.

An important parameter is the elasticity of the engine. According to the method for cars with manual transmissions, acceleration is measured with the gas pedal fully depressed from 60 to 100 km/h and from 80 to 120 km/h in fourth and fifth gears, respectively. Compared with classmates, “Largus” showed a normal average level.

state.

Another interesting parameter is coasting. They accelerate to a certain speed, turn on neutral and record how many meters the car will travel before it comes to a complete stop. "Largus" showed good data during run-out

from low speeds and mediocre from high speeds. This suggests that the car rolls well, but its aerodynamic performance is far from ideal.

These are just the first measurements of Largus. There are many interesting experiments ahead. Which? You'll find out soon.

MANUFACTURER DATA

VIN number

The VIN can be found in the engine compartment.
Location varies by make and model. The VIN can be found in the engine compartment. Location varies by make and model.

First section

The VIN code, which includes three characters, indicates the geographic area and country of origin of the car. This first section represents the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). It is assigned by an international agency, which is the Pennsylvania-based Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). You've probably seen this abbreviation on cans of motor oil. The first character is the geographic area code, the second is the country code, and the third is the vehicle manufacturer code. North America, since VIN coding originated there, received numbers starting with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Europe is designated by letters from S to Z. Russia uses the indices X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, X8, X9, X0, as well as Z7, Z8, Z9, Z0. For Russian manufacturers who worked back in Soviet times, the previous manufacturer codes were retained. So, for example, WMI VAZ is designated by the Latin XTA, UAZ - XTT, Izhevsk Automobile Plant - XTK.

However, the main problem lies under the hood. Owners of previous Logans know how easily and quickly engine numbers rot on their engines. In 3-4 years, the symbols could not only become covered with a coating of corrosion, but disappear forever without a trace, so that neither WD-40 nor zinc lotions could help. The second generation did not lose this drawback, but the rate of destruction clearly decreased sharply. It is especially dangerous to clean the markings with sandpaper. Let me remind you that the law contains an article for the deliberate destruction of forensic markings. Fortunately, the new amendments allow you to re-register a car with a rotten license plate. Not without unnecessary movements, of course, but it’s possible.

On the K4M (1.6, 103 hp) and K7M (1.6, 82 hp) Logan 2 power plants, the engine number is located in almost the same place: in the front of the unit, under the manifold, closer to the gearbox. In the case of a 16-valve unit, it is extremely difficult to establish visual contact with the platform, even with an inspection mirror. In order to clean the symbols from rust, you will have to completely dismantle part of the air duct, otherwise a hand with a rag will not fit through.

The only engine with which there will definitely be no problems with corrosion and dirt is the Nissan H4M unit (113 hp). The engine number on it is printed vertically on an inclined platform in the front of the engine close to the gearbox:

The VIN of this predecessor of the Mercedes E-Class suggests that the car had a diesel engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Second section

The VIN code is descriptive (Vehicle Descriptor Section - VDS), includes six characters and characterizes the type of vehicle, its purpose, and engine type. In this section, the manufacturer chooses the type, quantity and coding method independently.

Well, the third section

- indicator (Vehicle Indicator Section - VIS). It uses eight characters that allow you to distinguish one vehicle from another, even if both the make and model are the same. Here automakers can be somewhat arbitrary. It begins with the designation of the model year (one character). From 1971 to 1979 these were numbers from 1 to 9. From 1980 to 2000 - letters from A to Y. Since 2001, numbers have appeared again, which in 2010 were again replaced by the Latin alphabet. Thus, the current year - 2017 - is designated in the car VIN code by the letter H.

By the code in this table, you can determine that we are talking about a car from the Tolyatti plant (XTA is the international identification code of AVTOVAZ OJSC), VDS indicates the car model: VAZ-21723 Lada Priora, which, judging by the first sign of the VIS section, was produced in 2008 (position 10), and finally 0050435 - the production number of the vehicle.
