Thansk wildon,
why is that engine type varies between Asta and Sportz model in your decoding. I thought it is the same engine. Please let know.

Hi Wildon, great job!

Could you please decode these VINs? I have been offered these two cars by the dealer (1.4 Linea Emotion Pk) to choose from:

1) CA11071G09017301DNZ

2) CA11071G09017320DNZ

Thanks..
