Heppubansan Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I know all MKIV R32s came from VWs Bratislava plant, but I think this plant is now fully occupied with VW Toureg/Audi Q7 production. Are the MKV R32s (and for that matter regular MKV 4motions) coming from here or another plant? If anyone goes for a test drive take a look at the VIN on the windshield for me - you can tell from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 How can you tell? Does it is say "Made in Bratislava" on the windscreen...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heppubansan Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I think its the 11th digit (I might be wrong) in the VIN that tells you the manufacturing location w - wolfsburg m - mexico etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleywater Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Go to www.autobaza.pl and enter vin number to check production plant. Speaking to a vw guy who was at the Milton Keynes dealer test day, he said that there is a line specifically for R32 manufacture, did'nt say where it was, but I guess they must be on pre Xmas hols if you cant order vehicle till after crimbo!!

RedRobin Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Sorry guys....I've searched through 13 pages and cannot find the info because I'm probably using the wrong search words. But IIRC it's as Heppubansan says: W for Wolfsburg etc etc. So "B" for Bratislava, but more likely "BR"....It's definitely in the VIN #. But you won't know your VIN # until a later stage of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
