URGENT engine number issue!
Hi guys, I found out there is a hidden function. When you turn the ignition to 1st level and hold down the make phone call button and OK button on the steering at the same time, you will have access to the viechle data. It gives you your VIN, engine number and all other information.

My question is that how come the engine number on the display is different from what dealer give me on the paper? Does that mean the car engine has been replaced?

All good now! that's actually the engine model number on the display. But I am still wondering where you can find the engine number on the block.
