It is necessary to know where the engine number is located on a VAZ 2110 vehicle. For example, when a car owner wants to buy a new engine, the engine number will help him choose exactly the model his car needs. When buying/selling a vehicle, you also need to know the engine number so as not to mislead the buyer. Many experienced car enthusiasts refuse to buy a car if there is no coding where it is usually located.
Let's consider the most important issues related to the coding of the VAZ 2110 engine.
Why do you need an engine number?
The treasured symbols of the designation of the VAZ 2110 engine series, and other vehicles, help determine the model and year of manufacture of this modification of the car. This encoding, embossed on a plate or simply on a device under the hood, is compared with the written symbols in the technical passport.
The same engine and body designations in the documents and in the car indicate that the car has not been stolen. This means that the car owner does not need to hide the factory designations of the engine in order to hide any offenses behind it and this vehicle.
You need to know where the engine code is when you first and re-register with the MREO. When selling a car, you also need to provide this information to the buyer. If a novice car enthusiast may not ask about the engine or car body code, then an experienced car owner who wants to buy a car will definitely ask about the engine number and check it.
Attention! Before selling the car, you need to clean the plate with the treasured symbols from dirt and rust so that the number is clearly legible. If the coding stamped on the engine is erased, you should contact the traffic police and undergo an examination.
For those who want to know in advance the procedure that specialists will carry out during the examination, it is described at the end of the article.
According to the current legislation of Russia, data on engine and body numbers may not be entered into the vehicle’s passport data. But you must be present on the VAZ 2110 vehicle. And the car enthusiast must remember this number, or write it down in his phone or notebook.
If the engine is replaced with a new one with a different number, problems will arise when registering the car with the MREO. This needs to be remembered. Since these treasured symbols are sometimes used by experts to determine the owner of a VAZ 2110 car after a fire.

Maintenance
If you believe the plant, the manufacturer, the VAZ 2114 engine must be serviced every 12-15 thousand kilometers. It depends on what marking the motor is installed on the vehicle. Maintenance scheme for all engines installed on the “fourteenth” model:
- At the first maintenance, the oil, oil filter and air filter element are replaced, as well as the functionality of all systems is checked.
- The second maintenance is done after 12,000 km. In this case, it is necessary to change the oil and oil filter element.
- Third maintenance – 25,000 km, replacing not only the oil, but also the air filter, and ongoing repair of faults.
- After 45,000 km, it is necessary to replace the timing belt and roller so that the VAZ 2114 engine does not have to be overhauled.
Subsequent maintenance is carried out in accordance with 2 and 3 maintenance.
Where is the engine identification number on the VAZ 2110
Attention! On vehicles from the USA, the engine number is not indicated on the engine; it is present in the passport or plates with a VIN code, which provide information about the car as a whole.
Now let's talk specifically about the VAZ 2110 models. On domestic passenger cars, the engine coding and data about the car as a whole can be located in the following places:
- under the trunk. To look, the car owner will need to remove the rear wheel;
- on the telescopic stand on the right side of the device.
It is the engine number that can be found on the internal combustion engine itself. It is a collection of numbers consisting of two rows. Regardless of the modification of the VAZ 2110, it will be in one place.
Engine number on 16 valve
On a 16-valve engine, the vehicle owner will find the coding at the end of the cylinder block under the thermostat housing. The table with the vehicle's passport data is located to the left of the engine. On the same side, the car owner will find the car identification code.
There is no need to confuse the nameplate and engine coding. Many novice car owners confuse engine coding with general information. Based on the summary information, you can purchase spare parts for cars of this particular modification. This is also discussed a little further in the article.
Engine number on 8 valve
The coding on the 8-valve VAZ 2110 engine is stamped where these symbols are punched on the sixteen-valve engine. They are identical despite different modifications. Metal symbols with VIN code and VAZ 2110 identification code are also on the left.
However, there are exceptions. On old or new modifications of the vehicle, the body coding may be hidden in a non-standard place. For novice car enthusiasts, it will take time to find information. Experienced ones will find it quickly.
Let's talk about exceptions.
Decoding the number on the VAZ 2110
Until the eighties, the encoding had only 11 or 15 characters. In the early eighties, 2 more designations were added. Therefore, now the car owner sees a standard value of 17 digits. Each number has a certain height - 10 mm. It is applied to the plate using the impact method, and is preserved in this way for a long time and is not erased.

What can you find out from the VIN of a VAZ 2110 car:
- year of manufacture of the domestic vehicle;
- code of the engine and other spare parts for the car;
- model VAZ 2110;
- maximum weight of a loaded vehicle;
- weight that should not exceed the load on each axle separately;
- information about the manufacturer where the VAZ 2110 vehicle was created.
The Vin number is as important as the symbols on the engine. Without the correct data in the technical passport and on the vehicle plates, the vehicle cannot be sold or registered with the MREO.
How to decipher the VIN code
This code contains 17 characters (they can be either numbers or letters), each of which is responsible for certain important information.
For example, let's take the following identification number: XTA211440А8569235.
You can decipher this VIN code for the VAZ 2114 as follows:
- the first character is the territorial zone (X - Europe);
- the second character is the country of origin (T - Russia);
- the third character is the manufacturer (A - AvtoVAZ);
- six consecutive numbers - car model;
- 10 character (can be either a letter or a number) - year of manufacture of the car;
- the last seven consecutive digits are the vehicle body number.
Using a similar technique, you can decipher any vehicle VIN number. In order to correctly determine the year of manufacture (indicated, as already mentioned, by the 10th symbol), you can use the following table:
- Y - 2000 g;
- 1 - 2001;
- 2 - 2002;
- 3 - 2003;
- 4 - 2004;
- 5 - 2005;
- 6 - 2006;
- 7 - 2007;
- 8 - 2008;
- 9 - 2009;
- A - 2010
It is also worth noting that the year of manufacture symbol is one of the most important when checking. After all, if the year of manufacture indicated in the documents and the year of manufacture indicated in the VIN code are different, then there may most likely be problems with the car.
What to do if the engine is dirty and the license plate is not visible
In unfavorable operating conditions of the vehicle, the engine becomes dirty. The inscriptions become invisible if you do not clear them. Rust eats away the metal to such an extent that the embossed information turns into a mess of incomprehensible symbols.
If the car's engine code or data plate is simply dirty, then you need to take a metal brush and clean the dirty area. If the dirt does not come off, then it is necessary to use acetic acid or an alcohol solution. WD 40 often becomes a car owner’s assistant in overcoming dirt and rust. Use a WD-ashka to remove dirty deposits.
To prevent corrosion, it is necessary to lubricate the surface with the symbols with lithol. Many will say that then dust will stick to it faster. But lithol will save you from rusting and eating important symbols.
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.
What to do if the number is interrupted
If there is a suspicion that the motor symbols are broken, then it is recommended to refuse to purchase such a machine. It is possible that she may be stolen.
If the car owner has already bought the car and only found out during registration that the number has been changed, then nothing can be done about it. You should sell the car for parts. Since the MREO employees will no longer hand over the documents. But it is prohibited to drive such a car, and it is prohibited to sell it assembled.
If only the engine number is interrupted, then it may be possible to come to an agreement and buy a new engine. But only if the car is not listed as stolen. This rarely happens.
Engine 1.5 l 8 valves carburetor
The ancestor of the ten family, well known to car enthusiasts from the eighth model Lada. Easy to maintain and repair, as a result of a thoughtful, logical layout, dozens moved under the hood, with all the features, including the location of the unit number.

- Power 72 l s (53 kW);
- torque 104 Nm;
- up to 100 km/h - 14 s.;
- Consumption - 7 6 l/100 km.
What to do if the number is unreadable
If the VAZ 2110 engine number is not readable, you should contact the traffic police. Employees will order an examination. The procedure itself is free. But experts should be paid for their work.

A similar problem is often encountered when removing or registering a car. But, if the car owner independently noticed that his license plate has rotted, he should contact the traffic police.
The examination procedure consists of the following steps:
- Employees will check to see if the number is truly unreadable. Then they will give you a ticket.
- According to the date specified in the coupon, the car owner will need to come for the procedure.
- Experts will come and remove all the parts from under the hood to make the job easier.
- For about an hour they will lubricate the rotted number with various reagents in order to find at least some clue.
- They will take photographs of the place where the encoding is located from different angles. Then they will compare photos and try to read the engine code.
If you still manage to read the engine coding after exposure to chemical reagents, then the car owner will write this number in the vehicle’s technical passport. Now it must be lubricated with lithol so that it does not rot completely after exposure to chemical reagents.
Attention! The procedure time can be extended to a month or even two months. Not all employees do their jobs as expected. Therefore, the car owner needs to call the traffic police on his own once a week to find out how the matter is progressing with determining the encoding of the VAZ 2110 engine.
If the number has completely rotted, then it will take experts about half a month to check. When it is determined that the car is not registered as stolen, when they can determine the actual engine number, it will also be registered in the car owner’s title. The passport will indicate that the encoding has rotted naturally.
If it turns out that the VIN code is different, then a criminal case may be opened. What to do if the engine identification code is broken is written in the block above.
Engine tuning
Tuning version of the VAZ 2114 engine.
Tuning the VAZ 2114 engine is carried out typically for the entire series of power units installed on 2113-2115. As you know, there are two options for modifying the engine: mechanical and chip tuning. The modification scheme is quite simple, the mechanics are done first, and then the electronics. But many car enthusiasts only carry out chip tuning to reduce consumption, since the price of fuel is too high.
Chip tuning of the VAZ 2114 is carried out using special equipment and is aimed at increasing power or reducing fuel consumption. This type of work should be entrusted to professionals, since only they have the necessary skills and knowledge.
As for mechanical modifications, the scheme is standard. In case of complete modification of the motor, it must be completely disassembled. It is necessary to gain full access to the interior of the power unit. Next, the process of boring-honing and installation of new spare parts with light weight is carried out.
Installed turbine on a VAZ 2114 engine After assembly, it is recommended to install a tuning version of the cooling and exhaust system, since combustion will occur with the release of more heat than before. Standard oil will not be suitable for the VAZ 2114 engine after tuning, so it is recommended that the modification process be done by professionals.
