The first number is for the country that it was built in.......the 8th number stands for the engine type....and the 10th number is the year it was made....you need a scale to interpret these numbers and letters tho. Oh, and the last 6 numbers are the production number for the car.

I don't know how accurate that info is though. I know my car is a 1998 model, but according to that list, its a 1999.

Good for you. And my 10th character is a 'W', but as I said the website states that W=1999.

Dude, I completely agree with you...I too know that W=1998. The site is just wrong.
