Title: VIN Decoding.
Post by: 8v-of-fury on February 28, 2010, 09:10:14 am

WVWZZZ16ZBW646794 is the vin on the rain tray of my 81 Jetta.

W- Germany
V- Volkswagen
W- Passenger Car
Z- 1983-92 3 door Camper
Z- not an option
Z- not an option
16- 1983-88 Jetta
Z- Manufacturer code
B- 1981 model year
W- Wolfsburg

646,794th to roll of the line in '81 ;)

Why does my VIN not show the Body Style, Restraints, or Engine!?

I could register this car with any engine I want to now, the vin doesn't show what its supposed to have.. Why is this?
