Looking for a used engine is all about finding an engine that matches the VIN you want. The term VIN or Vehicle Identification Number is a common element and a determinant factor used to find a suitable used engine.
When searching for a used Hyundai engine for sale, you’ll need its engine number or VIN first. Here’s how to find and decode it.
How to check your Hyundai’s VIN? The VIN or engine number of a Hyundai engine is a unique 17-digit code that contains all the necessary information about it and identifies the Hyundai of your choice.
It is printed in multiple places in your car or the documents. Following are a few places you can find it. • Your vehicle registration card • A metal tag or sticker on the driver’s side of the dashboard • A sticker on the inside of your driver’s door jamb • Your car insurance card • Beneath the hood • Under the spare tire
How to decode a Hyundai VIN? You need to give your VIN to the seller to start the process of finding an engine for replacement. So, learn to decode it and extract engine information from the VIN. All 17 digits stand for specific things. Here’s what each position denotes.
First position: country of origin The first three digits of an engine number are the world manufacturer identifier (WMI). The first letter tells you which country your engine originates from. Since Hyundai has plants in Asia, America, and five other countries, it will help you know the source of the engine.
Positions 2-3: manufacturer information The second and third digits are for the make and model of the engine. It will reveal if the vehicle is a passenger car like the Elantra or a bus like an Entourage.
Positions 4-8: vehicle-specific information The fourth to eighth positions are reserved for vehicle-specific information like series, body style and version, body type, restraint systems, and engine type. This unique combination helps one understand exactly which vehicle you have.
Position 9: the VIN check digit Hyundai has taken care of the fact that anyone can copy a VIN. This is where the 9th digit of your engine number comes in. It’s the “check digit” value that changes based on the other numbers in the VIN. It is the proof of authenticity of a VIN.
Position 10: model year The 10th digit of the engine number denotes the year in which that unit was manufactured. It helps narrow down the search significantly.
Position 11: the assembly plant The 11th position further narrows down the location of the engine to the Hyundai assembly plant.
Positions 12-17: vehicle serial number Lastly, the unique combination of numbers from the 12th to 17th position is the serial number for your vehicle. It’s usually a production sequence number. It’s unique for every vehicle, meaning there’s no other vehicle same as yours.
Bottom Line Finding a used engine for Hyundai is all about getting the engine number or VIN right before beginning the search. So, if you want to make your search for Hyundai used engine easier, find and decode the engine number first and pass it on to your seller.
