checking what the spec was when gti left the factory

[mrggg]

is there anyway to check this? Im looking at a car and just want to know how I can find out this info just to be sure nothing has been retrofitted etc.

thank you.

If you look in the boot of the car near the spare wheel well there'll be a sticker with a load of numbers and letters on it (called PR codes). Put those codes into this search box and it'll give you a run down of what was fitted from factory.

The also inside the service book on the first page to save you turfing out the boot

I rang vw and gave them my reg.
Fully loaded was the reply including the tinted windows

There's a free app, too, for the boot sticker codes. 
Search for VW Companion Lite

Fully loaded was the reply including the tinted windows 

"Fully loaded" is along the lines of "Passed with flying colours" in relation to an MOT test, when in reality there could well have been advisories. Fully loaded but without a spare wheel, sat nav, bluetooth, and many other things which may or may not be fitted. For example, if there's a choice of alloy wheels, which ones would come under the fully loaded heading?

Well I do know the sales man very well, so the term "fully loaded" was a big of a giggle and was followed up with the actual spec list..
• 18" monza 2's
• Full heated electric leather seats
• Xenon's
• Rear parking sensors
• sun roof
• tinted windows
• cruise control
• auto wipers.
• auto dimming folding wing mirrors.
• sat nav.
• 11 speaker audio.

I Don't think that's a bad spec.

yep that websites pretty good just tried it my self, got loads of info and all seems to match what I currently have on the car when I bought it in December
, unfortunately cant check everything which is on the sticker in the boot as its very faded and tearing in a few places, might have to give VW a ring tho

[Broomy]

Are the codes each 3 characters long or how do they work?

[Viking]

Yep, for example...

PRCode: 2ZB = Leather multi-function steering wheel

[Broomy]

Cheers buddy

NERD ALERT 2 - Admit it, you didn't have to look that up, did you?
 

[Viking]

I have the PR codes for my car in a document on my desktop.  Always handy to have.

This is worth a read on PR codes
