Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

I was told it was the compliance year. I stand corrected.Current:
2023 Mk2 Tiguan R - Lapiz Blue
2015 Mk7 Golf R Wolfsburg - Limestone Grey: Stage 2
Gone but not forgotten: 2008 Polo GTI Shadow Blue -
I thought the wolfburgs despite being made later in the year were all going to be MY17?Comment

If a car is built in August or later this year, then it's MY18. No matter if Wolfsburg or not.Originally posted by BigAnt View PostMK7.5 R|Lapiz Blue|DAP|Sunroof|Tint

I think mine was built in July (my dealer said it had been built by 28 July and it was received at the shipping company's terminal on 3 Aug 2017) my VIN shows it being a MY18.Originally posted by onelouder View Post2017 MY18 Golf R 7.5 Wolfsburg wagon (boring white) delivered 21 Sep 2017, 2008 Octavia vRS wagon 2.0 TFSI 6M (bright yellow), 2006 T5 Transporter van 2.5 TDI 6M (gone but not forgotten).Comment

This is incorrect.Originally posted by kennyc View Post
For Volkswagen, the next model year starts between BW21 and BW26 depending on the specific year and the model line. Either way, MY18 builds usually start around mid may of 2017. Week 21 this year started May 22nd.
Build year is build year. If it's built 31 December 2017, it's a "2017 build". Next day, it's a "2018 build".
Compliance date is the date that the compliance plate is stamped to the vehicle (at or near the docks), usually by Patrick's. So, that's after the car has arrived in Australia and typically 2-4 weeks prior to delivery.
And lastly, there's date of first registration.
The only real contention around any of the above is which value (model year, build year, compliance year or year of first reg) is the 'overall' year for the purposes of resale. Model year is certainly separate, as it's a factor of the model (redbook.com.au always lists both MY17 and MY18 options for a "2017" vehicle, for instance). However, car dealers usually go with build date when offering you a price for your vehicle, as it's always the earliest/oldest date, but it's also the most definitive value of how old the car actually is.Last edited by AdamD; 12-09-2017, 09:27 AM.2008 MkV Volkswagen Golf R32 DSG

Yeah, I didn't get into it. But you are correct. That is how I understand it as well.

It's only really relevant if they make changes between the model years. My car was built in 2016 but is an MY17, with the only real significance in that being the frameless rear view mirror and a new pollen filter (apparently... have never looked at that) and the performance monitor becomes standard (no coding tweak required...)Comment
