some times you will need to find out certain info on your car due to a specific requirement (i.e. paint code)
this information can be found very easilly by opening the boot and lifting up the carpet to reveal the spare wheel which should reveal somthing like this

if you look at the sticker on the left you should see a lot of coded "things" i have explained them on the pic
note the blury bit at the top is the vin numper but i didnt think it would be particulary bright to advertice my vin number on the net :)

im not sure if this post belongs here so if its not apropriate to this forum then please feel free to delete this footnote and move it but it is applicable to nearly all vw`s
