Does anybody no a really good online VIN decoder that is specific to VAG? I am familiar with many such as Vindecoerz, Vindecoder.pl etc. but they offer pretty generic info.

But take MDecoder for BMW or DataMB for Mercedes. They give you things like build date, exterior and interior colour and options fitted. I have trawled the internet and cannot find a VAG equivalent to these.

Hopefully I just wasn't looking hard enough and somebody else has found one.  ;D

Cheers.

If you look in the boot, you should (hopefully) be able to find the build sticker. It'll have your engine code, transmission code, paint code, build spec (eg. Trend, High or Sport line) Take a photo.

Visit http://igorweb.org/equidec.aspx and enter all the 3 digit code as described on the page. You'll get all the data you're looking for.

As for paint colour, you can trace it here: https://paintref.com/paintref/index.shtml.

Hi Thanks for that.

Yes am aware of the sticker. it is present in both the spare tire well and the owners manual. However on thing that doesn't contain is the build date. Audi put the year and month of the build date on that sicker but for some reason VW don't? grhhh!

Do VW have an app like  'My ?koda' as that gives the build day of the car

I haven't looked into the validity yet: https://www.team-bhp.com/advice/find-your-cars-date-manufacture-vin#p9

I have found other build stickers around my Golf. All stating Mexico and the month/year of manufacture.


Some also state that there's a sticker on the B-pillar with a build date on it. I haven't looked on mine yet.
