To open the engine compartment of the Volkswagen Teramont, you must first unlock the engine cover from inside the car.
The unlocking handle is located at the driver’s footwell; simply pull it to unlock.
Once unlocked, the engine cover will pop up slightly, allowing you to reach into the gap above the car emblem and pull the cover up completely.
The Teramont's engine cover utilizes a standard gas strut, which will support the cover automatically once lifted to a certain angle.
After opening the engine compartment, you can see the power unit of the Teramont along with some auxiliary system components.
The reservoir located in the upper left corner is the engine coolant expansion tank, into which you can add coolant as needed. In the center of the engine compartment is the engine itself, with the Teramont offering two power options: a 2.0T four-cylinder engine and a 2.5T V6 engine.
On the right side of the engine, you will find the battery, fuse box, air filter housing, and windshield washer reservoir, while the power steering fluid reservoir is located on the rear panel of the engine compartment.
To close the engine compartment, simply lower the engine cover until it reaches a lower position, then release it and allow it to lock into place automatically.
If the engine compartment is not fully closed, simply raise it and close it securely again. Before driving, ensure the engine cover is closed properly; if not, a warning will appear on the dashboard.
Next, let's look at the location of the engine number on the Volkswagen Teramont.
The engine serial number is located on the left side of the engine. In addition to being on the engine, this number can also be found on the vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle registration certificate, purchase tax invoice, product quality certificate, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, police registration, and the vehicle insurance card.
It is important to distinguish between the engine code and the engine model.
The engine code can be considered the engine's ID card, while the engine model is its name.
For instance, all 2.0T version Teramont models produced at the factory use the EA888 engine, but each EA888 engine will have a different engine code.
The engine model is used to differentiate between different types of engines, while the engine code is used to distinguish different individual engines of the same type.
By looking at the engine code, you can find out the manufacturing plant, production date, and major parameters of the engine.
Naturally, different brands have different ways of expressing engine codes.
The advantage of using engine codes is not only for easier part searching during repairs but also to prevent the situation of installing the wrong engine.
