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.
