Where is the VIN located on an old Jetta?
2 Answers
The VIN on an old Jetta is located on the left side of the dashboard, near the windshield wipers. Here is some related information about the Volkswagen Jetta: 1. Exterior: The new Santana completely abandons the boxy design of the 1970s seen in the old Santana, replacing it with a more modern and stylish dynamic design. Overall, it already features the latest exterior styling of the Volkswagen family. The family-oriented design of its front face makes it difficult to distinguish between several of Volkswagen's compact models, blurring the lines between these vehicles for many people. 2. Configuration: The new Santana is equipped with 1.4L and 1.6L engines, codenamed EA211. This series of engines will have two displacements. The 1.4L engine has a maximum power of 66kW, while the 1.6L engine has a maximum power of 81kW, both featuring a lighter all-aluminum structure.
Hey, speaking of the chassis number on old Jettas, I've helped my neighbor find it several times. The most common spot is crouching by the left front wheel and feeling along the inner side of the plastic panel under the windshield—the stamped number is usually on the metal body there, with pretty small characters that require careful searching. Some models also have it engraved on the front bulkhead in the engine bay, right behind the wiper linkage. If you can't find it there, don't worry—lift the trunk mat, and you might find a metal plate on the side of the spare tire well or under the passenger-side door sill trim. Bring a flashlight when searching, and wipe off the dust with a cloth. Older cars tend to accumulate grime in these spots—last time I saw an '05 model where half the chassis number was covered by rust. If all else fails, try using your phone's macro mode to take a photo—it might actually make it clearer.
