Applying for your Volkswagen's Birth Certificate - link

Not sure that 7 minutes was a fair amount of time!

But I have started the stop watch now.

Check the N45 for me. Cos that's what is printed on the sticker!

 

Re:Birth certificates

Forget about Volkswagen for birth certificates let's just give our money to RJ because let's face it he knows a more about them than the crowd that made them in the first place.

There may be only one Volkswagen motor company but there is only one " VW Oracle" and he goes by the name of "rubjonny"

Come let us bring gifts (and money!) and worship the Oracle!

 

steady on jonny!

id like my cars birth cert but 35?!

 

That's why he's the "Oracle"

 

Thanks for the effort, rubjonny.

A while ago I went through a similar exercise on the Audi 90, on some Audi forums.
Lots of weird codes:
8J x 18" wheels in 1991? No chance. Quite a few had this. Mine was correct 7J x 15
205 x 50 x 15 tyres on those wheels? Not by any stretch of the imagination, but correct on mine.

I recon that, over the years, they have re-used codes without realising it?

I have lost all faith in the VAG systems. I'll now stick to yours

 

I asked for my money back, and got this rubbish:

Dear daved,
Im so sorry, but we can only write down the options on the certificate we can identify. The options of your Golf MKII G49 and N71 are not mentiond in our files. I hope you understand us.

NO! I don't understand them!

 

Mine's come through.

Not a huge amount on it, but I'm not massively bothered.

B 17 option code anyone?

 

Bump!

 

Type approval Poland???

 

no, it means optional rear facing turret..... my mistake, thats B52....

 

I'd be intrigued with the length of time between the date mine was built to when it left the factory

 

I've just sent for my car's birth certificate. I know it doesn't give you a huge amount of information but it's nice to have it....I had some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket anyhow.

 

After paying 35 euros & waiting 7 weeks my certificate has just arrived & it's wrong. Wrong colour & it says it left the factory on 29th Jan '88, this can't be right as it was delivered to the first owner in England on 7th Jan!

 

Check all details were correct and go back to them?

 

That's what I'll be doing if my certificate doesn't have the correct services. If you have supplied the correct details and the mistake is theirs then I would like to think that they will supply you with a new certificate with the correct details.

 

I have emailed them regarding the mistakes, so let's see what happens!

After reading through this thread http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=398 on the Samba.com it seems the info they provide is very hit & miss. Loads of people have got certificates with mistakes (the wrong colour, model, dates, options etc).
