    Build Sticker Decode

    Hi - my first post in this forum. There are multiple helpful posts explaining VINs; but I can't locate a full description decoding Build Stickers. I have got most of the information (see JPG), but cannot explain the items highlighted yellow. Any advice appreciated.

    SI? = unsure but may just be TSI

    M6F = Manual 6 speed front wheel drive (the R models are M6A = manual 6 speed all wheel drive). The DSG's are D6F, D7F (for GTI) and D7A (R model)

    GTIBM is just a code they seem to refer to in some VW brochures. Some say GTI BMT and others say GTI BM. Same code regardless of whether its a GTI or R so seems worthless.

    I just purchased a late 2015 GTI PP a few weeks ago, so will check my build sticker and compare to yours. Mine is a DSG (already regretting it....boring) so should be D6F for the transmission code. My engine code should be 169kw so will see if I have the SI bit.

    Lucas - Thanks for the extra information - it all makes sense now. If you want to decode your options (PR Codes), check out this site: VAG Option Codes
