Sorry! This went I to the wrong forum. My iPhone does weird things in here.

Hey guys,

Posted this question before but didn't get a reply.

I just purchased a 2006 TDI and am curious to it's true year. Here's the deal - it has 2007 manuals and a late version fuel filter, but the sequenc number on the VIN is 019217. The tail lights are obviously different than my old 06 that was an early model.

I got to wondering when I saw the different style fuel filter than what I was expecting.

Thanks!

Jason

Ok So vw produced tons of TDI's for the 2006 and i think if build date was after Oct it would be considered 2007, but somehow they got around the emission requirements for the 2007 when diesel emission requirements changed. If you need to know what year your car is just look at the 10th digit and it should tell you what year it was built.

if its a 6 then it was built in 2006, if its a 7 then it was 2007.
