BYD472ZQB appears in BYD DM-i engine documentation. Buyers should distinguish the combustion engine from the complete hybrid system, and should confirm the exact vehicle variant before using an engine specification to compare cars or order parts.
What the official documentation establishes
The cited Han L DM-i manual lists BYD472ZQB as a four-stroke spark-ignition engine with a displacement of 1.498 litres. It gives rated output as 115 kW at 5,500 rpm and maximum net output as 110 kW at 5,500 rpm. The manual lists electric-motor data separately. These are specifications for the documented variants, not a universal specification for every BYD model or production year. BYD Han L DM-i manual
Documented vehicle applications
Applications of BYD472ZQB are collected here rather than split into separate engine-buying articles for each car. This is a verified-source subset, not a complete worldwide application list.
| Brand / vehicle | Model year | Variant / manufacturer vehicle codes | Market | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BYD Han L DM-i | Not established from the cited extract | BYD7152ACHEV1; BYD7152ACHEV4; BYD7152ACHEV2 | China | Official manual |
| BYD Han DM-i intelligent-driving / long-range edition | Confirm against the vehicle; manual revision is dated 2026-04-10 | BYD7150YT6HEV14; BYD7150YT6HEV15 | China | Official manual |
A manual revision date is not necessarily the model year. Retail trim names, production-date ranges and assembly interchangeability still need vehicle-specific verification. Do not apply these rows to a battery-electric Han or to every Han model year.
Why the full code matters
Do not shorten the description to “BYD 1.5 engine.” Different codes and vehicle configurations can require different parts and controls. BYD472QC and BYD472ZQB should be treated as separate identification and purchasing enquiries, not automatic substitutes.
Before paying, compare the original vehicle’s VIN and engine identification with the offered unit. Obtain part-number and connector information, the donor vehicle specification where available, and an exact list of included accessories. Have the intended replacement checked against the relevant vehicle parts documentation.
Inspection and quotation checklist
- Photographs must show the actual unit and identification, rather than a catalogue example. - Request condition and repair history, inspection records and the available operating demonstration. - Establish whether the engine has been assessed separately or while installed in the donor vehicle, and what that assessment can establish. - List included wiring, sensors, fuel-system and intake/exhaust components. Specify any control modules separately. - Separate the engine price from hybrid transmission, motor, battery, packaging and transport charges.
Common buying questions
Why do rated power and maximum net power differ in listings? They are separately labelled figures in the manufacturer’s documentation. A listing should identify which figure it uses; neither should be presented as the car’s combined hybrid output.
Does the same vehicle name guarantee the same engine? No. Check the year, market, variant, VIN and full engine code.
Does a complete-engine quotation include the hybrid system? Only if the accompanying parts list explicitly includes those components. Ask the seller to define the assembly scope.
Should a hybrid-system fault lead straight to an engine purchase? No. Obtain a diagnosis identifying the affected assembly before ordering a replacement.
What information starts a useful sourcing enquiry? Send the VIN, engine identification, diagnostic findings, requested parts scope and delivery destination. Confirm fitment, condition, availability and quotation terms against the actual offered unit before purchase.
Where to find the identification
For the cited Han L DM-i, page 414 locates the stamped engine identification on the intake-side cylinder-block mating-face area and the label at the upper right of the engine. The vehicle plate is below the right-hand B-pillar. Follow that vehicle’s diagram rather than assuming another BYD model has the same layout. Official identification guide
Request a close-up of the identification plus a wider photograph showing its location. An electric-motor number is not the combustion-engine code.
A warning is a reason to diagnose, not a parts order
The Han L manual directs the owner to arrange inspection for a persistent power-system warning. Its oil-pressure warning calls for a safe stop and engine shutdown. Neither instruction identifies a replacement engine as the automatic remedy. Manual, pages 63–64
Read the inspection evidence, not just “tested”
Ask for the unit identification, test date, engine temperature, test method and actual readings. A cold-start video records that event; it does not establish long-term oil consumption or performance under all loads. A borescope image shows only the surfaces it actually captures, so request labelled images rather than an unexplained photograph.
Relative compression compares cylinders; it is not an absolute pressure measurement or a complete health certificate. Pico advises further confirmation and vehicle-specific test data. Do not accept a universal pass pressure for every engine. Pico compression-testing guidance
For this purchase, ask the inspecting workshop to explain whether symptoms point to internal damage or to another system. Preserve diagnostic results and the underlying checks before deciding on replacement. Neither an advertising claim nor one fault code establishes the correct repair.
Specify the assembly you are buying
Use a component checklist alongside the seller’s description:
| Seller description | What to confirm in writing |
|---|---|
| Bare engine / long block | Exact internal assembly and covers supplied; terminology varies between sellers |
| Engine with accessories | Individually list manifolds, fuel components, sensors, wiring and controllers |
| Engine plus hybrid transmission | Identify both assemblies and their part numbers; list motors and controls separately |
| Complete hybrid powertrain | Define every component; do not assume the battery, high-voltage wiring or installation is included |
These are quotation questions, not a statement that AsiaPower currently supplies every configuration. Photograph the agreed components and identify the actual offered unit on the quotation.
Installation, aftercare and delivery questions
Before purchase, ask the receiving workshop to confirm that it can identify this variant, access suitable diagnostic information and carry out hybrid-system work. Ask for a written installation and commissioning scope covering the original cause of failure, required seals and service parts, correct fluids, cooling-system checks and any specified control-system procedures. This buyer checklist is not a substitute for the vehicle’s repair instructions.
Obtain the seller’s written inspection period, covered assembly, exclusions, claim evidence and responsibility for transport and labour costs. Do not assume a used engine has the same warranty as a new vehicle. BYD’s regional service information refers to authorised-sale warranty conditions; it does not establish warranty coverage for this proposed used-engine transaction. BYD regional service information
For Ghana, confirm the actual unit’s location, preparation time, included accessories, packaging and delivery terms. Local workshop capability and parts availability need a current check for the exact vehicle; Chinese production or an online listing is not proof of immediate local repair support.
