From memory, I think it was this VIN decoder

http://www.abvwc.org.uk/vw_vin.htm

Not sure how accurate it is though.

Ben, can you add Touareg - Slovakia please

[phaeton]

Ben, can you add Touareg - Slovakia please

I knew I'd miss one :D

Thanks Neil ;)

hey phaeton, not all mk2's are German. all the later big bumper digi2 1.8 models that were proper imports are German, but you will find pretty much all the earlier private imports are South African.

[DaveMack]

... thought mine was Spain ... turns out it was Sth African. Can you switch one vote across, Ben?

Cheers,
Dave

[syncro]

My Transporter came from Graz, Austria.

(The Australian factory closed in dec '76, so any '77 models were German)

I knew someone would post that ::pokes tongue::

I couldn't fit them all in ;)

ps been reading about the syncro's in the VolksWorld Camper & Bus mag they had a very interesting history.

Here is some more syncro stuff from a friend of mine;

(P.S. What about my Audi? It was built in Hungary)

Here are some factories that you left out:)

have no idea... lol
a 2002 NOV built Mk4 V5...
how do I check with the VIN, does the list of VIN appear online?

[syncro]

The VIN is under the windscreen and on your rego papers.
It should be something like;

WVWzzz19zGW***********

WVW VW Germany passenger car

19 Golf 2

G year model (1986)

W manufacture plant (see table above)

(The "z" is just a filler)

[rayray086]

My Mk3 from Wolfsburg, Germany.

I used this before coming across this thread:

http://www.abvwc.org.uk/vw_vin.htm

[Spyda]

I found out here that the GLi was later rebadged as a GTi
http://www.vwgolfmk1.info/main/Buyingacab.pdf

I have no idea where it was built, I think it has a new head of another mk1 on it because the head is Brazilian and everything els is German. You guys have told me you dont know either, so im still confused.

This is what i got from the VIN decoder:
Year: 1979 (or maybe a 1969 Ghia)
Model: Golf Mk 1, including cabriolet
Serial Production No.: 116636

[syncro]

What was the details again.

If it's a '79 (Chassis number 179*******) Have a look at the glass and it will tell you whether it was made in Germany (Wolfsburg) or South Africa.
If it has an Australian compliance plate, then it came from Germany.

[SOHC]

oh...the mk4's made by Wolfsburg plant as well:D

[86gti]

mk2.
Region : Europe [ W ]
Manufacturer : Volkswagen [ V ]
Car Type : Passenger Car (VW) [ W ]
Model : Golf Mk 2 up to 1989 [ 19 ]
Year : 1987 [ H ]

MK1. Built in Oz. lol...no more to say

Yeah its got the Australian compliance plate. Windows are in the back of the citroen i think, cbf getin em out.

Ill check when i can, thanks mate.

[syncro]

Yeah its got the Australian compliance plate.
If the chassis number is 176, it is assembled in Australia.
If the chassis number is 177, 178, 179, 17A, it is made in Germany, Wolfsburg.

That's it.

[REDMKVGTI]

Mine was made where all VW's should be made, Germany.

[BL33SU]

mines made in indiaj:

[pepito]

Mine (2005 Golf Comfortline 2.0 petrol) shows Italy, on the plate under the bonnet.

So had to vote "other" :cool:

All the time I've owned it I'd assumed it was South Africa built so there you go :)

[Smead]

That link above doesn't appear to be working:

On that basis I'm going for Spain for where mine was built (build date Feb 06)

edit: after further research, the 11th number in my VIN is Y, which = Pamplona, Spain (SEAT Factory)

I got that from here:

VW VIN Codes - Club VeeDub (http://www.clubvw.org.au/vwvin)

I tried one or two others, like the one previously mentioned in the Scirocco thread on here:

Cybertects: VW VIN Decoder (http://www.cybertects.co.uk/scirocco/vincheck.php)

But that just gave me Europe as the area of manufacture.

so Win :)
