Silly mistake by me. Just saw your post and thought I should give it(VIN decoding) a try.

I should have been more careful. Only Wildon can do this best. Better leave it to him only.

I am curious to know the engine code of Linea T-Jet. Whenever something new comes up, I wish it were T-Jet.
We are yet to have engine codes for T-Jet for our teamFiat india. Hope someone will come up with it soon.

Great job Wildon. Also, Kindly try to get T-Jet's engine code from your sources, if possible.

Hi Wildon,

I had a question. As per your VW VIN decoding guidelines, the G in WVWG10600BT010175 would mean the month of manufacture is July, is that right? Am I missing something? Thanks

This is an interesting one. This i noticed first in SKODA and now in VW. For Polo and Vento Diesel vehicles i have noticed this change. Dont know what could be the reason.

It would be interesting to know how your R C book says about the Manufacturing month and Year. Please let us know if you already got the RC.

Thanks Wildon. The car is yet to be delivered. Will update once I get it.

Hello Everybody,

Can somebody please tell me where to find the VIN in a ANHC? The dealer has finally given me a delivery date after a wait of almost 45 days and am now eagerly waiting for Friday to come early.

Thanks in Advance,
Rudradeep.

The VIN Sticker can found on the rear right hand side door glass.
I don't know about the VIN location which is embossed on metal plate.
