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.
Greetings all. I'm new to the group but I have owned several turbo diesels in the past. However this is my first VW diesel and I'm just getting use to all the features. I noticed it gives me a "Oil Temperature" function. What is the normal operating oil temp for this vehicle?
I've got a 2012 1.6tdi Bluemotion Golf, manual trans, CAYC engine that after a basic service by independent, but VAG literate garage, has poor fuel economy (6-7l/100k vs 4.5-5.5 before). The tyres were done at the same service and I initially suspected the tyres, however in retrospect the...
I do not have any problems with my lights. All lights are functional from a mere human's perspective. My car has developed this bad habit recently of displaying "Check Right Front Side Light!" fault any time I turn on the lights. This came up once or twice intermittently over the last couple...
Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted on here, but I haven't been able to find my search topic yet which is surprising!?
Take a look at the pictures I've attached here. Also keep in mind that CEL codes P13D7 and P13D9 always show up on start. I clear them, they stay cleared.
I...
Hello everyone, this is my first post in this community. I’m hoping I put it in the right section.
I am looking to gather info on removing the EGR tube, that comes from exhaust manifold to the EGR valve. After realizing I was a moron and just put the block off plate on the pipe, instead of...
