UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Came to my head when I read an old post about fake Wolfsburg stickers on Polos.

I just wanted to know...

-What cars/models are made in Wolfsburg now?
-Are they more expensive than your average and do they roll out of the factory with some kind of Wolfsburg sticker?
-Are they that much more reliable when it's made in Wolfsburg?

Just quite curious about this Wolfsburg stuff

it goes off some code on your car. i heard most 9n's are made in spain though

That's worrying... I thought only the 6n & 6n2 was made in Spain as VAG moved SEAT production to Germany to sort out there reliability issues.

and I thought it was just the Mk3 that was spanish built

The Mk2 was the first Polo to be made at VW's Pamplona factory, during the Mid 80's.

Only the Mk1 and some early Mk2's were built in Wolfsburg. A few Polos are currently being produced in VW's Brussels plant.

was gonna say that the 9n is made alongside the ibiza in spain!

I haven't got anything to back it up, but I think the German plants tend to make the flashier stuff now. Audi's, Passats, Phaeton's, etc.

The build location of all VAG models is identified by the last LETTER in the VIN. My MK1 is "W" hence a Wolfsburg build , however Mrs NornIron's 9n is "Y"....Navarra

Ahhh. Thanks for the input guys and especially the list you've made there NornIron

I'm gonna copy and paste that for future use.

Thanks again

hmmm very interesting list!!

from that i can say that my mums 9n (Y) AND my bro's G40 (Y) were both built in Navarra in Spain and my Ibiza (R) was built in Martorell in Spain.

my bro's Vento (W) is a Wolfsburg edition

My Lupo sport and MK5 Golf GTI were made in Wolfsburg.
My polo 9n, other lupo, 6n2 and all mk3 polos were all made in spain. The golf was the most trouble free car i've ever owned

Can someone post an example VIN up for me, I don't know what I'm looking at

The VIN in VWs will start with WVWZZZ....

your VIN will either be displayed in the bottom right of your screen (when looking at the car) or there will be a plate/sticker under the bonnet (usually on the front panel or the inner wing near the suspension).

hope this helps

Mines a Y then and was made in Spain

I wanted a German made car.
