From memory, I think it was this VIN decoder

http://www.abvwc.org.uk/vw_vin.htm

Not sure how accurate it is though.

hey phaeton, not all mk2's are German. all the later big bumper digi2 1.8 models that were proper imports are German, but you will find pretty much all the earlier private imports are South African.

Darn it..

... thought mine was Spain ... turns out it was Sth African. Can you switch one vote across, Ben?

Cheers,
Dave

My Transporter came from Graz, Austria.

(The Australian factory closed in dec '76, so any '77 models were German)

have no idea... lol
a 2002 NOV built Mk4 V5...
how do I check with the VIN, does the list of VIN appear online?

[syncro]

The VIN is under the windscreen and on your rego papers.
It should be something like;

WVWzzz19zGW***********

WVW VW Germany passenger car

19 Golf 2

G year model (1986)

W manufacture plant (see table above)

(The "z" is just a filler)
