You can't tell from the chassis number! There's a few articles on the home page (right hand side) which detail how to identify if your car is a Campaign or not.

welcome, get up some pics mate, so we can all see

Campaign models should have a specific code in the Chassis (VIN) number. This should read WVW ZZZ 17EW nnnnnn. Where the 17 means a Mk1 Golf, the E is signifies an August 83 onwards manufacture date and the W implies the car was built in Wolfsburg Germany. Note that all mk1 Golfs produced after August 1983 will have an E in their chassis number, this includes the base models, and the runout 'GX' model too, so the chassis number is not unique to the campaign.

For reference, convertible Mk1 Golfs have a 'K' in place of the W after the year indicator. These cars were not built in Wolfsburg, but in Onsabruck, where the Karmann factory is located.

this should help a bit

Doesn't mean anything except that it was a 1984 model, it could be a Golf C, LX, GX, C diesel, or non-Campaign GTI! All the E tells you is the model year. Also you can have a DW chassis code car which is a campaign!!!!!!

The Campaign is a bunch of options defined by options code S707 and Pirelli alloy wheels S750. The E is simply the model year identifier. Since there are other Mk1 Golfs with 1984 model year; and Campaigns with D year identifier (1983 model year), it doesn't help to identify them, although there has been a certain amount of misinformation over the years (see article "the campaign controversy").
