While these are mostly correct, there are a few mistakes.


A3 Golf/Jettas are 93 - 99.5 (November 99)
A4 Golf/Jettas are 99.5 to present (December 99 -)
B4 Passats are up to 97
B5 Passats are from 98
I am not an expert on the early Passat body styles, however


Corrados were the successors to the Scirocco, I don't think they used
codes.
Quantums are only listed in ETKA up to 88
