Unfortunately I don't think there is any sure-fire way of figuring out exactly which build week a car was made unless the dealer had known the information in the first place. I've read somewhere that the date printed on seat belts was a good indicator but that sounds like complete BS to me.

A bit of a stretch but perhaps the dealer would be able to tell you? Highly doubt it, though.

Actually build week 45 in '09 would have been exactly when you picked up your GTI (Nov 5th to 11th) so the 'hack' won't work for your car.... but I'd much prefer that than having to wait 5/6 months !
