Descifrar el VIN

World Manufacturer Identifier The first three digits uniquely describe the manufacturer of the vehicle. There are many hundreds of assigned combinations. Digit 1: Describes the region where the vehicle is made. A-H is in Africa, J-R is Asia, S-Z is Europe, 1-5 is North America, 67 is Oceania and 8-0 is South America. Digit 2: Generally describes the manufacturer of the vehicle. For VW this is usually V, but sometimes not. It is assigned in conjunction with Digits 1 and 3, and may only make sense when the whole 3-digit WMI is considered. Digit 3: Generally describes the vehicle type. This might be a passenger car, commercial, pickup, SUV, truck, motorcycle and so on. For Volkswagens, the most common 3-digit WMIs youll see are: WVW - Volkswagen Cars WVG - Volkswagen SUVs (Gelande) WV1 - Volkswagen Commercial WV2 - Volkswagen Bus, Van WV3 - Volkswagen Trucks VWV - Volkswagen Spain AAV - Volkswagen South Africa 1VW - Volkswagen USA (cars) 1V1 - Volkswagen USA (commercials) 3VW - Volkswagen Mexico 8AW - Volkswagen Argentina 9BW - Volkswagen Brazil WAU - Audi TRU - Audi Hungary 93V - Audi Brazil Vehicle Descriptor Section The next group of six digits (4 to 9) in the VIN describe the exact vehicle type, giving information on the model platform and body style. Each maker assigns their own meaning to these six digits. American makers, for example, use digit 9 as a check digit, but European makers such as VW do not. In Volkswagens case, meaning is only given to digits 7 and 8. Digits 4, 5, 6 and 9 are fill-in digits only and will contain the letter Z. Digit 4, 5 and 6: ZZZ for VWs sold in Australia. For USA-market VWs, these digits are used to give information on body and trim styles, engine specs and restraint systems. Digit 7 and 8: Volkswagens Vehicle Descriptor Section. Many of them are consistent with VWs old model type system,

so you should spot some familiar numbers here. The most common Volkswagen combinations are: 11 - Beetle (Brazilian, Mexican, Nigerian) 13 - Scirocco Mk 3 14 - Caddy Mk 1 (European Golf 1 pickup) 15 - Cabriolet (1980 Beetle, Golf 1) 16 - Jetta Mk 1 and Mk 2 (early) 17 - Golf Mk 1 18 - Iltis 19 - Golf Mk 2 (early) 1C - New Beetle (US market) 1E - Golf Cabriolet Mk 3 1F - Eos 1G - Golf and Jetta Mk 2 (late) 1H - Golf and Vento Mk 3 1J - Golf and Bora Mk 4 1K - Golf and Jetta Mk 5 1T - Touran 1Y - New Beetle Cabriolet 24 - T3 Transporter Single/Double Cab Pickup 25 - T3 Transporter Van, Kombi, Bus, Caravelle 28 - LT Transporter Mk 1 2D - LT Transporter Mk 2 2E - Crafter 2H - Amarok 2K - Caddy, Caddy Maxi Mk 3 30 - Fox (US model ex-Brazil) 31 - Passat Mk 2 32 - Santana sedan 33 - Passat Mk2 Variant 3A - Passat Mk 3, 4 3B - Passat Mk 5 3C - Passat Mk 6, Passat CC 3D - Phaeton 50 - Corrado (early) 53 - Scirocco Mk 1 and Mk 2 5K - Golf and Jetta Mk 6 5M - Golf Plus 5N - Tiguan 5Z - Fox (Europe) 60 - Corrado (late) 6K - Polo Classic, Variant Mk 3 6N - Polo Mk 3 6R - Polo Mk 5 6X - Lupo 70 - T4 Transporter Vans and Pickups

Vehicle Identifier Section The third and final set of digits, the group of eight from digit 10 to 17 inclusive, identifies the particular vehicle in question. They will identify the model year, the exact place where the car was made, and finally the unique serial number of that vehicle.

Digit 10: The model year. For Volkswagens, this is the year from 1 August to 31 July as before. The code begins with 1980, and assigns a consecutive letter or number for each year (except that I, O, Q, U, Z, and 0 are not used). The codes for year models are: 1980 - A 1990 - L 2000 - Y 2010 - A 2020 - L 1981 - B 1991 - M 2001 - 1 2011 - B 2021 - M 1982 - C 1992 - N 2002 - 2 2012 - C 2022 - N 1983 - D 1993 - P 2003 - 3 2013 - D 2023 - P 1984 - E 1994 - R 2004 - 4 2014 - E 2024 - R 1985 - F 1995 - S 2005 - 5 2015 - F 2025 - S 1986 - G 1996 - T 2006 - 6 2016 - G 2026 - T 1987 - H 1997 - V 2007 - 7 2017 - H 2027 - V 1988 - J 1998 - W 2008 - 8 2018 - J 2028 - W 1989 - K 1999 - X 2009 - 9 2019 - K 2029 - X There are several logical consequences. There is no confusion between 1 and I, 2 or Z, or O, Q and 0. The characters repeat the sequence every 30 years, with A beginning in 1980, 2010, 2040, etc. And, when the numbers begin after Y, the number coincides with the year.

Digit 11: This is the exact place where that Volkswagen was made. VW has tried to assign specific characters for each of its factories, although there have been some double-ups. If in doubt, consult Digit 1 which gives the region (see above). The codes are: A - Ingolstadt, Germany B - Brussels, Belgium C - Chattanooga, USA

D - Bratislava, Slovakia E - Emden, Germany F - Ipiranga / Resende, Brazil G - Graz, Austria H - Hanover, Germany K - Osnabrck, Germany L - Lagos, Nigeria M - Puebla, Mexico N - Neckarsulm, Germany P - Mosel, Germany P - Anchieta, Brazil R - Martorell, Spain S - Salzgitter, Germany T - Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (up to 1994) T - Taubat, Brazil U - Uitenhage, South Africa V - Westmoreland, USA (up to 1994)

V - Palmela, Portugal (from 1994) W - Wolfsburg, Germany X - Poznan, Poland Y - Pamplona, Spain 1 - Gyor, Hungary 2 - Anting, China 3 - Changchun, China 4 - Curitiba, Brazil 6 - Dsseldorf, Germany (Mercedes-Benz) 7 - Ludwigsfelde, Germany (Mercedes-Benz) 8 - Dresden, Germany 8 - General Pacheco, Argentina Digits 12-17: Six digits, starting with 000001 for each vehicle of the defined make, model, year and factory. This is the unique identifying number for that vehicle. Start: 000001 Possible end: 999999
