vin number inknown on any vin check site

I really need help with this ppl, I have a mk1 golf cabriolet that Is still on german plates and was registered in Germany. I have no log book so im trying to get dating evidence from Germany so I can register it in the uk. However when I type the vin number into any database its not known. The car has the vin stamped onto the chassis under the bonnet (below window) and also has a silver metal tag with the vin on, and also a sticker in the boot of the car with the vin on along with all other details. has anyone had this problem or can anyone help

thank you

Email history@volkswagen.de and give them as much info as possible. 

They can send you a dating letter.

www.cabby-info.com has a vin decoder,  as well as how to arrive at a build date.

If the car hasn't been registered for a few years, then it could have been purged from the data bases.

I don't know how it is over on your side of the world, just telling you what I have seen over here.

VIN Decoder

the above is a good place to start, as knowing the build year ie: 89 model year built in late 88 ….

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

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Also there are Android apps that but I've tried the top two but they didn't work for my mk1 although they were spot on for my Mk6.

So maybe just for the later models! 😉 👍🏼
