When you want a quote, taking pictures of or sending the serial numbers to our team will help us put an accurate price value. Volkswagen converters have “alphanumeric” serial numbers, meaning they have mixed letters and numbers. Here are some common serial numbers:
- 1KO 131 701 BQ
- 4GO 131 765 C
- 5Q0 131 701 N
- 1K0 131 701 BS
