I've just purchased the 06 xB and here in New Mexico they are **** about these vin numbers, I know of the one in the door and found one under the rear hatchback but is there one located on the engine block?
I've searched and read there is no actual vin stamped on the engine but the 1.5 is the 1NZ-FE

tia

 

d/s corner of the windshield, and yes it is a 1NZ-FE.

 

thanks..done deal to register it today no problems at all...
