Date of manufacture

chipsceola · 6th February 2012, 09:20

Hi Guys, read elsewhere, date of manufacture may be available from posting VIN. My '75' is a (May) 2003 1.8T on '03' plate yet does not have PRT, actual year made could well assist when ordering parts in future.

Last 7 characters of VIN are: D 274725

Thanks in advance for this information.

My car is May 2003 registered,build dates and component fitting seem to be dated around the March/April period.

Regarding the PRT it seems in previous discussions on the subject it was fitted around March of this year.

Your best bet is to use the IPK diagnostics mode, it'll take you a minute or two.

You want value 1.4, this will tell you the week and year of manufacture (e.g. mine is 2003 = week 20, 2003).

If you have not used it before, read about it here: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=55585

Many thanks to all, 'Kully good idea, but rather not in this cold weather' X-Part02, many thanks and noted, no doubt will save time or errors when parts needed in future,
but with a build date like that, am surprised it does not have PRT.
