Seriously... This internet thing is hard

I spoke to VW about this a couple years ago, and not even they could tell which 337 was which; they even said themselves, they never kept track during production.

A Japanese trivin a german car what is this world comming to

I've also called VW and was told that there is no database they can reference to find wich cars are 337's, let alone can they find what the 337 production numbers is. As far a I can tell unless all 337's get registered some place, we'll never know exactly what our production numbers are. That was my goal with the registry.

Let me know if I can help out with any other questions.

I want to know my production number for the same reason 16V owners what to know theirs, for the same reason, SLC Corrado owners want to know theirs, the same reason R32 Owners want to know theirs. [sarcasm] It's a pride in ownership thing, something perhaps you know nothing about since you own a "25th" instead of a 337. Glad you got that German only edition in the US.[/sarcasm]

And I am happy I own my rare VW, not finding my production number will never change that.

No all 337's as well as all 1.8T GTI's (as well as all 20th) where all built in Brazil. On top of getting the cool dash plaque VW also created a one off VIN for the 20th so there are 2 ways you know you have a 20th. Where as with the 337, you cannot tell by VIN alone that you have one. What we do know so far is that all 337 VIN's reside between 048271 and 076172, and that MOST VINs from 073698 to 076172 are all canadian (although there are several from Washington state mixed in there).

However if you find a silver car that someone has taken the time to make look like a 337 or a 337 that someone has taken the time to make NOT look like a 337, look for the stickers in the trunk. If you see the (interior) option LA7W the car infact is/was a 337.

The stickers look like this:

Good luck on your purchase.

And just to start some friendly rivalry, the 337 is superior on-track to the 25ths due to the extra weight it carries

SWAGG, 0106 "PROBABLY" ment to say 20th. Although the 337 and 20th on paper have the same specs as far as weight goes because the 20th come equipt with a sunroof it SHOULD weigh more than the 337. However they could have found a way to strip more weight out of the 20th (however unlikely). I do believe when you get down to a difference of a couple hundred pounds however, it will come down more to driver skill than car.

If I remember correctly the German 25th could come equipt with a sunroof as well but i doubt that's what 0106 ment. Remember guys our 337's and 20ths where modeled after the 25th, they are not the same car. Infact the 20th has more in common with the German 25th than the 337 does, unfortunetly.

And cuz it comes up.. I'm a girl. Thank you guys/gals for keeping the registry alive!!

but correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not 100% sure

there is no way to find out the real production number of 337's and honestly who cares, it means nothing.
Even on the 20thAE's they mean nothing, they are just randomly numbered, meaning the 5th 20thAE made doesn't necessarily have the number "0005" on the cup holder.

Quote=me - Thanks for your 20 cents

Someone "could" have imported a 25th, though I've not heard of one. I know there is atleast one 337 overseas (Military transfered and took his 337 with).

Not to get in another pissing contest, but as it stands right now Grogthefrog is correct. There is currently no way to find production numbers for the 337, as VW refuses to help. As well he is correct about the randomness of 20th "production number". My site was created as a place 337 owners could come, in the hopes that one day we would know the answer to that question, however that will take cooperation from all owners. Which is apparent from the flak this topic has already received, that it won't happen. I will continue on my quest, because I love my car and I truly want to know. I encourage anyone who shares the same ideas to help out, if for no other reason than the challenge of it. hehe and to prove the nay sayers wrong.

Thanks again for everyone that helps out.

Keep up the good work IMURSTAR. People always like to mess with us 337 owners, since we have a rare car and us saying that upsets some people. 1500 in the US, or 1750 on the entire western hemisphere is not common. It is more rare than the 20th, or R32, GLI. I believe it is the "most rare" of all the Mk4's in the US. I also believe it is the lightest (any lighter model/trim than 2857 lbs?).

I am hoping one day we'll know our #. If not, I guess it really only means something to mr 337..that person would be so cool!!! I tell people 337 stands for how much torque I want out of it, but that would be so great to say "it's because it's #337 of 1500". That would rock!

As for your cookie issue. If you go to the main page and click "Register my 337", you will get the familiar submit screen. Enter your VIN, BUT NOTHING ELSE. The application will find your VIN and allow you to update your 337. I've added a registration help page for these kinds of questions so if you guys have any more just post them up.

Thanks again guys!!

DUBS MADE FROM THE BEST STUFF ON EARTH

One with the Audi/VW (at the top of the image) is found on the underside of the hatch lid. This one lists the TIPO (0416) named as something else.

We're not sure if the middle 2 stickers list anything of importance but they are both located on the underside of the tire cover.

Then the sticker I showed before is located on the left hand side of the spare tire well. It also shows the TIPO number.

There are other random stickers with just the TIPO number and initials located all over the car. I found mine on the underside of the front lip and passenger side skirt, behind the gauge cluster, in the center drivers side air vent, in the engine bay.

Image of the stickers in the trunk:

just playin....bout the overrated parts that is

keep up the good IMURSTAR, been a while since we've spoken

and here's a question, why is it that when I first gave my insurance company all my info, they had it listed as a normal '02 golf/gti....then sometime down the line (cause I know *I* didn't tell) they started listing it as "GTi/337 ANNIV ED 2D 109CC"...so what does the insurance company know that we don't?
