Where is the VIN located on a Volkswagen Beetle?
1 Answers
The Volkswagen Beetle has two methods to locate the identification number: stamped on the right floor panel beneath the rear seat; or on the left side of the spare wheel well at the rear of the vehicle. Meaning of the VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to each vehicle, similar to an ID number. It identifies the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other details, and can also be used for anti-theft purposes. Explanation of the 17 characters: The first character indicates the country/region of origin. The second character identifies the vehicle manufacturer. The third character specifies the manufacturer's division or vehicle type. The next five characters (positions 4-8) describe vehicle attributes, with specific usage varying by manufacturer. The ninth character is always a check digit. The tenth character represents the model year code.
