Re: Decoding Vehicle Information Number (VIN)

Please me sorry, but I don`t know how I would have to be slightly more precise in my query if I informed you about everything what is going on.
decode for me: VIN car MA3EFB11SW0289844. I need OEM codes also: right and left outer and inner cv joint to my car. That is all. From the beginning I informed at FORUM all the time about the same what I interested in.
Regards
Is this help you !

Yes, of course but I have one more a question to you. Is this important that ZEN was with carburettor but my(ONE) is with MPI(Multi Point Injection)?
I ask about it because Suzuki One is "1.0 i " Aren`t there any more differences between thsese cars?
Please send this picture via email addresse, if you can of course?
Best Regards

Yours is the December 2010 manufacture.
In addition to 350Z post, the actual production date of this vehicle is 23.01.2011 and its a Fabia Ambiente. The model year of this Vehicle is 2011, but on the RC book it will show as December 2010 vehicle as RTO look only the Month and Year code in the VIN.

M= December
A= Year 2010

Thanx for the reply wildon and 350Z. Does the RTO look at road worthiness certificate or the VIN/Chassis number only??

Does people in Indian RTO know on how to decode the VIN numbers for all the cars?
Is the process automated or scripted in there system. What i heard was that Model on RC is defined from Form 22. So to confirm that my RC will have model as 2011, what should i ask the Dealer for before we go for registration or insurance - Form 22 or any other document?

(Delivery is expected in coming two days on subject of loan disbursment.)

A similar issue reported earlier in another forum and giving the link here for reading.

I booked a Skoda Octavia Ambiente 1.9 TDi from MARIKAR (MOTORS) LTD calicut on Sept 5th 2009 05/09/09 and got delivered on 17/09/09 .When i look at the delivery time there are some damaged parts on the car which the manager guaranteed to replace the damaged Parts at the First service . According to the The Form 21 (Sale latter ) issued to me the manafacturing date opf the car was january 2009 . I was surprised how there is an 8 month delay but the manager at MARIKAR MOTORS LTD calicut convinced me by saying that there will be some delay for this kind
of premium vechiles. i accepted and took the delivery .

After 7 days when i went to RTO to register my car they find out that the car was made in 2008 from the VIN(Chasis number) and ask me to provide the Year decoder for VIN of skoda or CUT OFF Chassis as proof that this vechile is Manafactured in 2008 . Chassis/VIN : TMBCGH1U88A009754
Engine No: ALHE25966 .
When i contacted the delear they told that they cannot provide any of the things asked by RTO , you have to proceed only with the sale latter given by the delear . Now my vechile is kept at home unregistred .

When i chicked the Glass and the tyers it is clearly mentioned that the make was 2008 . With all the evidance now i strongly belive that i have been cheated by MARIKAR (MOTORS) LTD calicut and skoda .I had lots of trust on the brand when i bookd the car .
Please let me know what are the legal procedures for cheating me

Re: Decoding Vehicle Information Number (VIN)

Thanks a lot Wildon. [:)]. Although the car is manufactured on Nov 10 i got it delivered on Dec 27 with just 23 KM on the ODO. So it is kind of factory fresh

The model i have is sportz(option). It looks like Hyundai does not differentiate between Sportz and Sportz(option) when encoding their VIN

Thanks for sharing the story.

But we are confused.
We want to confirm the manufacturing year as we have booked the car with 2011 model and already waited for 2 months for the same. We have not taken the delivery yet because of this confusion only. The dealer has "Verbally" ensured the 2011 model. He has shown us the form 22 but manufacturing year was not mentioned.
What else we can check on or before PDI. Meanwhile we are holding the balance payment from our end because we were very clear to the dealer about the manufacturing year at the booking time only and we waited long for the same.
We dont want to be cheated like another fellow. we are already loosing faith on our dealer. what should we do? please advice.

Re: Decoding Vehicle Information Number (VIN)

Don't take anything in Verbal. Ask the dealer and company to confirm this in writing.

Check Form-21 and Form-22 before making payments and also make sure that documents are not tampered.

If you have any source in RTO please do check there also.

I'm giving you another VIN of Fabia which i got it for decoding.

TMBFDA5J5BG010796

Manufactured in 2011, Jan.

TMBFDA5J5BG010796- A- Jan, B- 2011
Fabia Elegance , Date of Production: 25.01.2011
see the 6th and 10th Charactors , its clearly saying its a January 2011 make vehicle without leaving any doubts.

Hey Wildon!!!!
Thanks for your advise..
We have visited showroom today. The dealer has shown us the form 21(we got a copy thru cam scanner-attached). Year of manufacture is mentioned as Jan 2011.

I hope now we can take the satisfactory delivery of the car. We are in process to clear the balanced payment.

Is something else we need to check???

Do check the same in RC Book when you receives it. if it reflects as Jan 2011 then no worries.
