Touareg VIN?

amv · May 25, 2006

Somebody can please explain me how to read a T-Reg VIN?

Which characters can be used for identyfying the exact production date of a T-Reg? Or that's impossible?

For exaple let's take
WVGZZZ7LZ6DO57611
W = Europe
V = Volkswagen
7L = Touareg
D = Bratislava
O57611 = Serial #

Zetas, as I know, have no meaning.. And what about the other letters?

There is no way that we can tell the production date from the VIN. But certainly the factory can reference the last 6 digits of the VIN to the date.

Ah, but the "zetas" do have meaning:

W = Country of origin = Germany
V = Manufacturer = Volkswagen
G = Vehicle type = SUV
Z = Series (e.g. M = Touareg 4dr V8 w/ Air Suspension)
Z = Engine (e.g. M = 4.2L 8cyl (AXQ))
Z = Restraint system (e.g. 7 = Dr/Pass A/B Front, Dr/Pass Active, Advanced A/B Front, Side A/B Front, Side Curtain A/B)
7L = Model = Touareg
Z = Check digit
6 = Model Year = 2006
D = Assembly Plant = Bratislava
O57611 = Serial number

It is true that the date of manufacture cannot be determined from the VIN, but the month and year of manufacture should be on a sticker on the driver's door frame.

Your service department can run your VIN and get the exactly production date.
