 M-Codes

M-Codes are found on your vehicle's production form/sticker.

They tell you what factory-installed optional equipment came with your car.

 

What the Type Number Means

The "type" number on the production sticker indicates not only what Volkswagen vehicle type it is (155 = Golf/Rabbit Cabriolet, 154 = Golf Cabriolet in right-hand drive), it also provides information as to what mechanical components it came with from the factory.
