Do not be embarrassed if you find two VIN numbers on any VAZ Superauto model. There is no crime in this. The fact is that one VIN number is assigned by the manufacturer of the product (in our case, the body) - AvtoVAZ itself. A different VIN number is set by the company that produced the car, that is, the Superauto division. All this is indicated in the PTS and such a car can be purchased without fear. It will be re-registered and registered in the same way as a car with one VIN number.
What to do if there is no engine number
There are fans who prefer to buy old foreign cars than new Russian ones. Here you need to understand that there are no numbers on old-style engines from the USA. Therefore, in this case, it would be wise to store the purchase and sale agreement, customs clearance documents, etc. This is not as small as it might seem at first glance. There have been cases when a car brought from abroad without a license plate on the engine had to be parked for a fine.
If the car has been taken away, you must submit an application abroad confirming the purchase of such a vehicle. After a positive answer, you can pick up the car from the impound lot.
Also, some Russian engines came without a number. In this case, on the engine body, in the place where it should be, a non-number (without number) was stamped out. Someone used to want their car to have a used engine, as this simplified the inspection process. And now you can pass a technical inspection without showing the car, and it’s all legal.

Identification numbers of VAZ (Zhiguli) cars. On VAZ cars, the identification number (VIN) is stamped and located in the engine compartment:
VAZ-2101, VAZ-21011, VAZ-21013, VAZ-2102, VAZ-2103, VAZ-2104, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2106, VAZ-2107 and their modifications are on the bottom shelf of the air supply box on the right in the direction of travel. For the first five years since the start of production of VAZ cars (1970-1975), the vehicle identification number was applied to the vertical wall of the air intake box on the right in the direction of travel.
VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-2110 - on the upper surface of the right mudguard pillar of the body (on the right front suspension spring support).
VAZ-2121 - on the upper amplifier of the front panel on the right. In addition, there are options for the following location - on the upper reinforcement of the radiator trim panel, on the front panel next to the nameplate.
The identification number (VIN) on VAZ cars produced before 1982 consisted of 11, 12, 14 and 15 characters. The last seven digital characters indicated the serial number of the product, and the first seven (eight) alphanumeric characters or four (five) digital characters, respectively, either the manufacturer and the car model, or the car model. Dividing marks are made in the form of five-pointed stars.

Decoding the number
Until '87, the engine number was indicated by seven characters. After the production of power plants exceeded 10,000,000, numbering began from scratch. To determine which period the motor number belongs to, look at the date of creation of the frame.
- “D” (“A”, “B”, “C”, “F”, “H”) – equipment used;
- “VAZ” is the name of the creator;
- 07 01 86 – date of release of the skeleton;
- “N” (“K”) – shift marker;
- 2108 – modification of the frame.
Modification and engine number:
Until '82, the VAZ 2107 identification number had 11, 12, 14, 15 characters. The last digits (7 pieces) are the product number in order. Manufacturer and modification, encoded in the first characters. The value separator is a five-pointed star.
- *VAZ * 2107 * 0000002 *
- *creator * car modification * product number in order *
Since '82, the ID number contains seventeen characters, enclosed by an asterisk.
An inexperienced person will spend up to an hour searching for the engine number under the hood of a car. First, let's decide for what purpose you are trying to find this very number? If you need information about the engine number as such, you will find it in the most important car document, PTS. In addition, it is present on the vehicle registration certificate.
The need to find the license plate on the engine itself will most likely appear only in the process of checking the part numbers, when you appear at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate to register your car. Or, during the sales process, a potential client will want to make sure that the engine on the car is original.

VAZ engine number
The marking on the engine is applied to a special area of the cylinder block. The labeling process is mechanized.
On engines produced before December 1974 (VAZ-2101, VAZ-2102, VAZ-2103), the marking area was located on the front upper end of the cylinder block.
Since the second half of 1975, the marking area on engines has been located on the tide of the block, to the left in the direction of travel, above the oil filter. On engines manufactured from December 1974 to July 1975, markings are found on both sites. Since July 1975, at the previous location of the engine number, only the engine technological number, consisting of three digital characters, has been applied.

Markings are applied to engines of all models, except the VAZ-2108, using an automatic German numbering machine, as well as a VAZ KVTs numbering machine. On the engines of VAZ-2108 cars, markings are applied with a numerator.

On engines of VAZ-2108 and VAZ-2109 cars and their modifications, the number is located on the upper part of the rear wall of the block on the flywheel side, to the left in the direction of travel (close to the distributor breaker).
The surface of the site is subjected to mechanical processing on a milling machine before marking is applied. On the engine blocks of VAZ-2101, VAZ-2102, VAZ-2103, VAZ-21011, VAZ-2104, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2106, VAZ-2107, VAZ-2121 and their modifications, not only the platform for markings, but also surfaces for the oil filter and fuel pump.
The location of the number on the site relative to its conventional center or boundaries is not regulated.
The serial number on engines, starting with the VAZ-2108, must be between two asterisks (dividing marks). The distance between the outer digits and asterisks on each side, as well as the distance between individual markings, should be no more than half the width of the digit.
From 1984 to 1985, on VAZ-2108 car engines, the placement of signs in the number was carried out in two lines, then from 1986 - in one line.

The year of engine manufacture is indicated by letters of the Latin alphabet. In the number designation (in particular, on VAZ-2108 engines and its modifications), the letter indicating the year of manufacture is located immediately after the model index, and the number looks like this: “2108f* 0000001*. The letter F indicates that the engine was manufactured in 1985.
List of letters of the Latin alphabet used to indicate the year of manufacture of the engine.

Year Designation Year Designation 1980 A 1991 M 1981 B 1992 N 1982 C 1993 P 1983 D 1994 R 1984 E 1995 S 1985 F 1996 T 1986 G 1997 V 1987 H 1998 W 1988 J 1999 X 1989 K 2000 Y 1990 L In 1985-1986 all engines of VAZ-2108 cars and its modifications contained a letter in the number indicating the year of manufacture. Since 1987, it began to be applied in the number not to all engines, but mainly to those that entered the domestic market, since car importing countries asked not to include a letter of the Latin alphabet indicating the year of manufacture in the designation of the engine number. Abroad, the presence of a letter in the number immediately after the model was perceived as a modification of the main model. In this regard, since 1987, the plant practically ceased to indicate the year of manufacture on VAZ-2108 engines, since there was no clear distinction between products that were to be sold on the domestic market and those that would be sold abroad.
According to available information, until 1987, the engine number was indicated by seven characters. After the production of 10 million cars, the problem of switching to eight-digit numbering arose. However, this is not easy to do due to the need to completely replace the marking equipment.
Therefore, it was decided from the beginning of 1987 to start engine numbering again (as in 1970) from “zero”. In order not to confuse the year of manufacture of the engines of the old family of VAZ cars, you should pay attention to the information about the casting date of the cylinder block. It is located on the right side of the engine block, is laid when the block is cast and has the following appearance:
D VAZ 01 07 85 N 2106
D (A, B, C, F, H) – used equipment; VAZ – manufacturing plant; 01 07 85 - date of manufacture of the engine block; (K, N) – brigade code; 2106 – designation of the cylinder block model.
The block casting date almost always corresponds to the engine release date, since the difference between the block casting and the release of the finished engine does not exceed 15-20 days.
The strength of stamping numbers with numerator stamps is regulated by engine marking technology. In this case, the magnitude of the stamp indentation force is 560 N, the depth of indentation (implementation) of the stamp into the metal is no more than 0.3 mm.
In the numerator, the stamps are ring disc. All seven disks, assembled together, form a “package” in which the disks are assembled and arranged in such a way that their working surfaces form a sphere of a certain radius. When marking an engine, the sphere seems to roll over the surface of the pad on the block, leaving imprints of the stamps in accordance with the order of the stamps in the package, the totality of which forms the engine number. The platform is run in the same way when applying the engine model index. Before entering the next number in the numerator, the stamp is changed by rotating it around its axis and bringing the next number to the level of the contacting surfaces between the stamp and the pad. Changing stamps and bringing the numerator to the desired level are carried out automatically.
The numerator has finger-type stamps. They are secured and held by a rotating head (chuck). To stamp the number and bring the head to the surface of the engine block, it turns alternately in one direction or another around its axis, bringing the required stamp to the site. At the moment of complete and correct alignment of the contact surfaces, some branding occurs forward towards the surface of the block, and the desired brand comes to the level of direct contact with the engine block. The extension of the mark ends with direct contact and the formation of an impression on the block area. Subsequently, the rotating head moves slightly from left to right relative to the block and at the same time the stamp is changed by turning the head and placing a new one according to the programmed program. Everything repeats itself again. In this way, all the markings on the engine block are stamped, after which the rotary head completely moves away from the processed block.
Markings are applied to engine blocks immediately before their assembly.
Separate units - spare parts intended for sale through retail chains or workshops - do not have numbers stamped on them. They only have a technological number located on the front end of the engine block and consisting of three characters, which serves for the correct selection of pistons.
If individual characters are incorrectly applied in the engine marking designation (problems in the operation of numberers associated with untimely replacement of the brand), they are eliminated. The area of metal on which the sign to be destroyed is located is punched. Then the desired sign is stamped by hand, and a similar stamp is used. At the factory, one, the last two (when changing in the tens number), the last three (when changing hundreds) digits, etc. can be corrected. If the entire number is incorrectly applied, it is cut off with an emery wheel of a grinding machine to the depth of the relief image and then stamped new number. If only part of the sign(s) is displayed in relief, then the non-displayed part is finished off. The plant maintains a file cabinet in which engine numbers with corrected errors are recorded.
