Decoding the VIN?
Hello, can anyone explain each of the parts of the VIN?
for example YV1LW65F2Y2****** From what i know so far, we have:
1. country of origin (Y= Belgium? Sweden?)
2. the maker (V= volvo)
3. vehicle type? (1=?)
4. to 8. identifies vehicle atributes(LW65=?)
4. N or L= 2.3 engine type B5234T3 and 2.4ltr engine type B5244T (both eng man sys Bosch ME7)
5.
6.
7.
8.
9. check digit? 10. year of manufacture (Y=2000) (W=1998) (X=1999)
11. The factory Number (2= where?)
12. to 17. serial number off the production line.
I have bought a european spec left hand drive car from the UK and need to correctly identify the details for getting the car regstered in France.
Thank you
Dan
