I have just joined this site after a year or so of watching from outside the tent. Having recently retired to the Far North from Canberra I now have the time to better understand what I'm driving.

Which is: A 2009 Tiguan 147 TSI. The codes in the handbook give you the complete picture.

B0R = Component parts set, complying with vehicle type for Australia, various
parts
C3P = Alloy wheels 7J x 18
G0R = 6-speed automatic transmission for four-wheel drive vehicle

engine: T59/T61/TQ2/TU2/TD6/TN6/TT8
1AT = Electronic stabilization program (ESP)
1G9 = Space-saving spare wheel for temporary use, radial tire (5-hole)
2ZB = Leather multi-function steering wheel
1NP = Wheel center cover
5RV = Right exterior mirror: aspherical
5SJ = Left exterior mirror: convex
TQ2 = 4-cylinder gasoline engine 2.0 L unit 06J.B

8GU = Alternator 140 A
8ZH = Antenna for AM/FM reception, "diversity"

I'm looking forward to some interesting chatter.
