Viper manuals arrived in the post today (excited to own a set!)
Had a look for info on the VIN and it only shows the windscreen one. Attached the page here for reference for future info hunters.
Shows the:
VECI - Vehicle Emission Control Information
VIN - Vehicle Information Number
VCL -...
BINGO!
Thanks to everyone here that tried to help and particularly @Steve-Indy and Brian Jones who point me in the right direction.
For others that are looking in the future:
2005 Viper GEN 3 VIN locations.
Windscreen:
Under the centre console:
(Right hand side upper frame rail)...
That's a good help to know that I'm not looking for a "VIN Plate" as shown in Viper Registry pictures.
Are the Viper Registry pictures the correct location for a Gen3 Viper?
(or are they just Gen1/2 locations?)
@BadAzp Thanks for posting the picture, that's what I've been hoping/expecting to find. Every car I've owned has had one of them on it (regardless of country of manufacture). Sadly, I can't find anything like that on the Viper.
It does have the import plate, maybe that replaces the left hand...
@MoparMap - Engine having a VIN is bizarre to me, I can't think of any car I've ever owned that had that. Near the bell housing is where the Viper Registry picture said but as you can see from my picture, I can't get anywhere near that because of the RHD conversion without dropping the engine...
I've taken some (rough) pictures of where the Viper Registry says I should find VIN plates.
Picture right hand front:
I can't see anything, I can't get at anything, I don't know where to look!
Rear of the engine, right hand side:
Can't get anywhere near the block as the brake booster...
A second location.
The registration inspector needs to take a photo of a second VIN when he inspects it and if I can't tell him where to find it he'll charge me $120/hr to look for it.
They used to only need one, new requirements are two.
Sorry to rehash something that's been discussed on here many times but I'm struggling.
...and yes, I've read tons of posts (mostly for the rt/10) that didn't help me find them.
GEN 3 - 2005
Found the windshield VIN - easy.
Need to find another for registration here in Victoria (Australia)...
Yes, I've bought a new set of stock ones and will try and replace the rubber on the old ones as @ViperDad mentioned in this post. I'm heading to a local auto store at lunchtime to see if I can find the right width and something with a nice flat back.
I'm yet to see how easy it is to remove the...
Hi all!
Great forum and my first post (possibly first of many).
I bought a 2005 Viper two days ago and it needs wiper blades.
Read a great thread here on Wiper blades and have just ordered a pair from Rockauto and will also attempt a super glue on the old set (neat idea).
I'm in Australia so...
