Where is the VIN number on the Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
The VIN number of the Volkswagen Lavida is located under the engine hood, on the front-facing panel between the battery and the brake master cylinder. Below is an introduction to the VIN number: 1. The English abbreviation for the VIN number is VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and its Chinese name is the vehicle identification code. It is a set of characters assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. 2. The VIN code consists of a 17-character alphanumeric sequence, also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. 3. The arrangement and combination of the vehicle identification code ensure that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing unique identification for each vehicle, hence it can be referred to as the car's ID card. 4. The VIN number contains information such as the manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. 5. The first three digits (WMI) of the VIN number represent the manufacturer, brand, and type; the second digit is the manufacturer code; the third digit is the vehicle type; digits 4 to 8 (VDS) represent vehicle characteristics; the ninth digit is a check digit; the tenth digit indicates the model year; the eleventh digit represents the assembly plant; and digits 12 to 17 are the serial number. 6. Correctly interpreting the VIN code is crucial for accurately identifying the vehicle model and conducting proper diagnosis and repairs.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for over two years. The VIN is located on the small plate at the bottom left corner of the windshield on the driver's side - you'll easily spot it by bending down outside the car. There's also a sticker with the number clearly printed on the door sill when you open it, which is really thoughtful. The VIN is like the car's ID card - I always use it for insurance or annual inspections. Once when replacing parts, I was worried about buying the wrong ones, but checking the VIN put my mind at ease. Normally you don't need to pay attention to it, but it's super important for new car registration or repairs. I recommend saving it in your phone in case the windshield gets dirty and hard to read. The Lavida's design is very convenient - you rarely need to check under the hood, so simple and practical.
