Hi Widon,

I have booked a VW sometime back. Now the dealer have called me and told the car is ready. He has sent me the VIN no - WVW10609BT008480. Can you please send me the full specification pdf or let me know how I can generate it?

Thanks in advance.

^^ The 4th Alphabet which is representing month is missing from the VIN.
at present its having only 16 characters . Please provide the full 17 character VIN.
