RE: Free VIN Check

Here’s the VIN conversion for US cars so they can be checked in the site Storm posted:


Delete digits/letters between the ‘B’ and ‘A’:

WDBCA24D6MA599620 – WDB A599620

Place a ‘1’ in front of the ‘A’ – WDB 1A599620

Place your chassis number between the ‘B’ and ‘1’:

WDB1260241A599620 – ‘126024’ for a 91 300 SE.

Also, your ‘proper’ VIN is on the true firewall, passenger’s side.

RE: Free VIN Check

If DB had just kept the VINs the same regardless of market we would not need to convert. Oh well, must have been a good reason, some DOT thing, perhaps.

Thanks again for the link, storm.

RE: Free VIN Check

When checking the ATF today (changed the fluid and filter – what a PITA job) I noticed the butchered VIN on the 300 SE’s firewall, maybe it’s a pre-86 thing.
