wiresquire Member 266 Member For: 20y 5m 14d Posted 12/08/06 11:20 AM Share Posted 12/08/06 11:20 AM HiI've been looking around at some xr6t's and am wondering if anyone has something like a VIN decoder?There's a lot of ads where the damn things are described as XR6's or XR6T's are described as ordinary XR6s. Can anyone help with what to look for in the VIN or even engine number to save me stuffing around?It'd also be helpful if there's a decoding of the other pieces of the VIN as wellThanksws Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27664-vin-decoder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same is applied internationally apparently.Look specifically at "Model Specific:" at position 4-8. Mine is ...AAAJG... What is everyone elses?I did an aussie search and apparently we are very big in the privacy dept. 3 identifiers are needed to do an online search of a vehicle.....sheeeesh.Hope this helpsCheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27664-vin-decoder/#findComment-420501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiresquire Member 266 Member For: 20y 5m 14d Posted 12/08/06 10:55 PM Author Share Posted 12/08/06 10:55 PM Thanks for that. It gave me some clues....After doing a lot of searching it seems you can't identify a T by the VIN The best info I found was at another forum. Eg, this page talks about VIN decoding. So, for example, I'm guessing that 6FPAAAJGSW3J12345 break up looks like:6FP : Ford AustraliaAAA: As good as a blank. J: AustraliaG: BroadmeadowsSW: Sedan3: 2003J: Some month12345: Serial numberThey also had a fair bit of info on various engine, trim codes etc , but that's not part of the VIN, and not usually included in ads. I guess I will have to rely on the honesty of car dealers Cheersws Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27664-vin-decoder/#findComment-420509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Variant" is listed on my rego as 18335YK which is broken up by: 18335 = XR SedanY = 4.0 DOHC VCT TURBOK = 5 speed floor manualWell I'm glad at least it was right!
