Hi,

I understand how to get the manufacturing month and year. I want to know how to decode engine type and variant.

Thanks

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.
Wildon: Finally got my registration card. It mentions Mgf date as 7/10

As expected. So its been now clear that RTO will only check the Month and Year code from VIN while registering ,not from other forms/papers.

Does this mean that the coding being reffered to by the RTO needs to be be updated?

As per my knowledge its the manufacturer who gives the decoding tech know-how of VIN/Chassis no. to the ARAI for approvals then its goes RTO for using in registration purpose.

Re: Finding the VIN & manufacturing date/year on Indian cars

Hi wildon,

my neighbour is taking delivery of Swift DDIS.
Here is the VIN the dealer has shared 9the car is supposedly in transit):
MA3FKEB1S00662997*BB

Can you please confirm the manufacturing date and varient details?

Thanks!

EDIT: OK, I found the previous post, the last two letters after asterisk are BB (which means Feb 2011), I think, correct?
