Really? After you open the door are there any stickers on the door side in addition to the car side of the door jamb? There is a sticker on your JSW TDI's upper timing belt cover with the engine code. There might be some info there but I'm not sure.
Yes the other half of that sticker is on the front page of the service book.
Also if you don't know your service interval long or short that also is on the sticker.
To find out which service interval your cat has then just open the service schedule book. On the first page there should be a sticker with the car details on it, VIN number engine code and transmission code. Then there are 7 rows of numbers and characters further down. On the third row mine shows 3 characters then a space, three more characters the QG1, then a space and three more blocks of three characters.
QG1 is the shorter 10,000 miles and the QG2 is longlife 20,000 miles service.

Not completely applicable in North America. First, the page for the build info is not the first page in the US edition, but is way inside on page 23. In addition, US dealers are often very lax about putting the build sticker in the service book.
Even more different is that we don't have any longlife service vehicles here in the US, and in fact, the service code on my build sticker (which was delivered to me in a ziplock bag with the tire warranty and the satellite radio stuff) shows "QG0" - I don't think either the QG1 or QG2 types are valid for North American cars.
I was able to find the build sticker in the trunk. You definitely need a key to decode it. I was also able to find the sticker wiu the build date in the drivers side door sill, I have no idea how I missed it there the first time.
June '10 for me.
I would definitely be interested in a build sheet if that's possible though
Is there a difference in how the engine performs between the "QG1" & "QG2"? I woul donly guess mine is a QG1 since my intended service intervals are 10K. I do know I have the door jamb sticker giving the build date.
No VW say something like if you commute 25 miles or more then your engine should get hot enough to burn any water off so they would recommend the longlife 20k service interval. If you do a lot less then they suggest the 10k service interval. The other half to that info label is stuck to the boot floor.
Hey there, first post.
I recently (The last few months) have been driving and loving my Jetta TDI and am looking into doing as much of my own maintenance as possible. I've done one oil chance since getting the car (37000ish miles) at about 42,000 miles. I'm now pushing 56,000 miles and want to...
Hi everyone,
I've just changed the fuel filter on my MK6 Golf TDI but cannot get it to start now.
It started up first time and then coughed and died. Now it won't start at all.
I've tried using OBDeleven to fill the filter with no success. I can hear the pump going whilst sat in the car but...
Hi, I have a VW Golf 6 1.9tdi, just replaced turbo, rings and serviced it. after all is assembled, the car starts but it won't rev. what cold be the problem? How can I resolve it? please help.
