    Mk5 GTI - Wolfy
    Audi B6 S4 - Ingolstadt
    Audi B7 RS4 - Neckarsulm


    And yes - the 11th digit of the VIN works for ALL VWAG marques - even Lambos (since Audi took them over), Bentleys, and even the mighty Veyron!


    And another interesting VIN secret is the 10th digit - this indicates the MODEL YEAR for the actual car. So for example, many Mk5 GTI grey imports were sat on a salty dock for upto three years - so whilst the registration plate may show say 08, the car could actually have been built in 2004 to a 2005 model year spec.[xx(]
