Correct , its a July 2013 manufactured Car
Hey Wildon , Does that mean that Polo 1.6 TDI started its production in Inida ??
I am sure that such a news will trigger a lot of interest in Tbhpians who are waiting to buy the GT Tdi .

Hey Scuderiatoro, the vin number makes me wonder if you got a 1.6 Tdi polo for the price of a 1.2. I am really interested like many other Tbhpians to know the same.

Re: ARTICLE: Find your car's date of manufacture (VIN)

hi,
My brother is about to buy a skoda rapid from Marikar Engineers,Cochin. We booked for Rapid's latest limited edition called "Leisure". Today they gave us the Chassis Number. I hope skoda cars chassis number is their VIN number too. I tried VIN decoding and found out that its a February 2013 build unit. ie 5 months old car.but they are selling it with latest edition badge. I am feeling some bit of confusion in this. Thatswhy I am sharing this and seeking other forum mates advice in this regard.

Chassis No. TMBBLBNA9DG011668

Normally form 22 / road-worthiness certificate from manufacture will show the manufacturing month & year, right ? Will they change it to latest date, if its actually a Feb 2013 build car ? :(

Re: ARTICLE: Find your car's date of manufacture (VIN)

Hi,
Thank you very much for this wonderful thread. I have an issue related to the subject of this thread. My brother is about to purchase a Skoda Rapid.We booked its latest limited edition called "Leisure" thru Marikar Engineers,cochin on August first week. Today they gave us the chassis number.I think skoda's chassis number and VIN number is same. So I tried VIN decoding by the help of this thread and found out that its a Feb 2013 build unit.Now I am in a confusion and thatswhy I am sharing and seeking your valuable advice in this regard. ie. Company is giving us a 5 month old car with latest limited edition badge. Is it normal ?

Chassis No # TMBBLBNA9DG011668

I know the form 22/ road-worthiness certificate from skoda will show the month & year.Is there any possibility to get a certificate with latest date from skoda if the car is a feb 2013 build unit.

Hi all,
Am planning to take Ertiga ZDI with alloy and am being told that the older stock will be the one to be sent to Madurai from Bangalore yard. Is this true that I cant ask for the latest?

Has anyone got delivery of ertiga manufactured in august 2013?

Wildon bro,
Could you please help me with decoding the details of the attached? I dont see the last 2 chars HD/GD.

Expecting a fresh piece as the previous car I took was 15 days old when I took delivery. But Maruti has the policy of pushing the older stock first it seems which makes sense but still...
