Is there a link so somewhere I can get a Factory build sheet from the Vin number, I've done this with other non VW's that I own.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Hi,
I was a little disappointed to find VW want 130euro for a certificate and data sheet. Mercedes provided them free of charge for my SLK320 and also included all the service history that had been undertaken at their dealerships.

I'm old enough to have many cars and projects and it's interesting how the different companies charge for these items. In the past the following companies have provided the information free of charge:
Mercedes
Porsche
Jaguar
BMW

The thing I have noticed is that companies who reply via a customer service department are almost always free but if it comes from a heritage or classics department there is always a charge. One company who went bust used to charge £130 but after the archives were bought by a heritage company the charge went to £320. Are enthusiasts being viewed as another source of revenue rather than being supported for loyalty.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

There was talk on here some time ago about build sheets being affixed to the firewall behind the glovebox (LHD) during assembly.
I was fortunate enough to find mine, perhaps you will too. 07FA7EE2-4EF4-40E6-BC1C-5212FED48359.jpeg
