Vw Vin Decoder Engine CodeTypically the engine, vehicle series, body type, restraint system, and model are the ones to watch out for. The country, make, check digit, year, plant, and serial number are usually in the same positions regardless of the vehicle manufacturer. Now you know how to read and decode your car or truck's VIN number! Thanks for watching, and reading. The first two digits identify the model as a Beetle (11) or a Karmann Ghia (14). The third digit is the last digit of the year, for example 5 would indicate 1965 and 2 would indicate 1972. The last six to seven digits are the chassis serial number. So, if the first three digits of your chassis number is 118. To determine check digit (9th digit) of your car you need to take the VIN and assign any letters in the VIN with a set value (number) as follows: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5, F = 6, G = 7, H = 8, J = 1, K = 2, L = 3, M = 4, N = 5, O = 6, P = 7, R = 9, S = 2, T = 3, U = 4, V = 5, W = 6, X = 7, Y = 8, Z = 9 Any numbers in the VIN remain the same (not replaced) and thus you have a 17 digit number. Then you must multiply each of the 17 digits by a set 'weight' (multiplier). The weight applied to each digit is as follows: 1st = 8, 2nd = 7, 3rd = 6, 4th = 5, 5th = 4, 6th = 3, 7th = 2, 8th = 10, 9th = 0 (check digit), 10th = 9, 11th = 8, 12th = 7, 13th = 6, 14th = 5, 15th = 4, 16th = 3, 17th = 2 After multiplying each VIN digit by the associated weight, add up the results of all 17 products. Then divide by 11 and the remainder is your check digit. If the remained is 10, then the check digit is 'X'. Here's an example: VIN = 3VWPG71K 35M634276 (note '3' is the check digit) VIN 3 V W P G 7 1 K 3 5 M 6 3 4 2 7 6 Assigned Values 3 5 6 7 7 7 1 2 3 5 4 6 3 4 2 7 6 Multiplier 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 10 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 Add the products: (3 * 8) + (5 * 7) + (6 * 6). (6 * 2) = 399 Divide 399 by 11 which gives you 36 and a remainder of 3 which is the same as the 9th digit of the VIN. Sometimes people make mistakes when reading/writing the VIN or when speaking/hearing the VIN (especially over the telephone). The check digit is used to help verify the VIN is correct. The vins breakdown as follows, very good info above, just one slip.

J is still the motor code for the 2007 2.0T Jetta There is more breakdown for 2.0T and GLI, but that should cover about 90% of jettas sold in the US. I never thought would be able to tell a car from its vin, but after doing ordering and fleet for few years, its the easiest way for me to tell a car from another.
