    Someone with the ETK

    Can you input my vin and tell me what month of production my car is?

    I could be missing something.. but when I put the vin into my ETK, it doesn't give me a production date of any kind. Sorry I can't be of more help. Isn't there someway to tell by the VIN the month of production? Oh.. when I look at parts for your car, it does say UP TO 9/87 if that's any help. (ack, I discovered that wasn't very consistent. I also see up to 12/87, 3/88)

        Yeah, my ETK didn't give me one.

        One of those online VIN decoders says 7/87 though.

            The ETK wont tell you a production date, but like others mentioned, you can use the 10th digit of the VIN.

                the following digits are the week of production.

                Week 23 is in July.

                  Can't you tell just by looking at the li'l plate on the inside of the driver's door?

                  Or am I way off?

                    Yes, if I had one.

                    Removed, and car was repainted. (the production sticker in the door jam was painted over when I got the car, so yeah... i sanded it down and painted over it with the Lachssilber job.

                    All the stickers in the engine bay are also gone (I removed these)

                    I like things clean.
