----- Original Message ----- From: Double-Cab Guy To: Vanagon ; Syncro@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 3:39 PM Subject: [Syncro] Where is Poznan?
Hi Volks, I recently received a letter from VW A.G. with the build date and location of my newest Double-Cab. The letter states that the model is "247GC5" . I know 247 is a Double-Cab but what is this "CG5" on the end? GC5 is the option code (yours has a MV engine) The letter goes on to state that the vehicle was built on the 28th of November 1985 in Poznan. Poznan is the factory in Poland used after 1995 and signified by an X in the VIN. I think that there is an error here. Your van's VIN should be WV2***25*GG******. WV2=VW commercial 25=Type25 (Vanagon) G=1986 Model (built after August 1985) G=Gratz factory in Austria Let me know if I am wrong.
