You can tell by the first character of the VIN

1 = United States
3 = Mexico
9 = Brazil
W = Germany

The 11th character of the VIN is the assembly plant

A = Ingolstadt
B = Brussels
E = Emden
G = Graz
H = Hanover
K = Osnabruck
M = Mexico
N = Neckarsulm
P = Brazil
S = Stuttgart
V = Westmoreland,P.A.(US)
W = Wolfsburg
Y = Spain

Now how do I find out when it was born??!

Mine was definitely built in Wolfsburg. So I would assume all ED30s were! My mk2 GTI was built in Wolfsburg too!

Nope, but mine seems to check out as a Wolfsburg built car given the VIN number  :smiley:

Must go on a road trip there one day - the museum looks like VW p0rn!

I've been, it's worth it buddy trust me! Some amazing cars in there and the factory tour is great!

I think you can arrange to pick your car up there if you buy it new? That would be an epic road trip! :driver:  How cool would it be to see your new car come down in the lift?!

I did consider it when I bought mine but decided that VW UK wouldn't be capable of sorting it out so didn't even bother looking into it!
