Anniversaries made where?

sammyboy · Dec 10, 2004

Were all the anniversary models made in Wolfsburg?

Had a dig but can't find any info and am miles away from the car and docs to check via the vin. Doesn't really matter I suppose but a friend and I were having a good natured debate about which of our cars is the better made!

I say mine.

Annis were made in Wolfsburg

henrytse · Dec 10, 2004

yes wolfsburg

Royster · Dec 10, 2004

No they weren't!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding.![:I]

I thought your debate was over which was better made. How does this relate to where they were made? Why should a car made in Wolfsburg be better made than one manufactured in Bratislava or Brussels from the same materials and using the same qualified manufacturing processes? am I missing something? Can someone please enlighten me.

I Agree, what does "where they are made" have to do with anything?

evilhomer · Dec 10, 2004

Because it is pretty much a proven fact that VW's 'Standard' manufacturing processes, arn't quite so 'standard' in the different countries... I am presuming due to attitudes to quality and work, combined with access to materials?

Contoversial but has been known to be the case... do not ask me where is better than where, I do not know.[

There is a chart or list which enables you to find out where your car was made by checking the chassis number. Its something to do with the letter or letters just before the last 6 numbers.

Has anyone got the info or a link to it??

PMSL!!!

so is Wolfsburg a better place to be made??

and does this mean that all Annis are imports?

Sem · Dec 11, 2004

Aren't all Golf's imports? I mean none of them are made in the UK are they?

some funny comments here as "Volkswagen" translates as "Volks"= 'Peoples' and "Wagen"=car I'd have thought everyone knew that VW is a German firm revived by the English post WW2.

Looks like my R32 was made in Bratislava, anyone know if they were all made there?

dc · Dec 12, 2004

All V6's were built there I think.

South African built cars (code "U") were known to be pretty ropey amongst vw dealers.

Dunno what you mean by this mate. Of course everyone on here knows VW is a German firm, but that means nothing relating to where the cars are built. A lot of Nissans and Hondas are built in the UK- they sure as heck aren't British firms!

Essex, nah, it doesn't mean it's an 'import' if it's made abroad (well not in the sense that we usually mean when we are talking about cars being imports). An import just means that it was intended for another market (i.e. another country) which can sometimes mean they have a different spec. As Sem said, all Golfs are made abroad.

Anniversaries made where?
