Pretty cool, decodes VW and Audi VINs...just fill out the VIN box, and it tells you year, engine, and such.

Default I wrote an Audi VIN decoder which has been online since 1999

The only problem is I didn't keep it up to date.<ul><li><a href="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/audi/vin/index.html">Drew's Audi VIN Decoder</a></li></ul>

Default What is the assembly #? Is that like

the # of cars made up to your cars point? I.e. mine is 005216. Hard to believe only 5215 A4s sold prior to 99.....

Default The number is unique to that assembly plant in that year

So perhaps there were only 5215 model year 1999 A4's prior to yours.

These numbers do not need to start at zero, however. I have another decoder for Oldsmobiles and I know that in the 60's and 70's, a range was devoted to a model of car, so the Cutlasses miht have been in the 100,000's, and the Delta 88's were in the 200,000's, etc.

The number is just a number that is unique to your car. There is no significance to it beyond that.
