Specification reference from cardata.wiki. A question mark means a year boundary is missing from the source, not that production continues. An empty field means the source did not provide that value. Confirm the fitted engine, transmission and equipment against the car’s documents. How specification matching works.
Reading your Audi A3 Sportback (5 doors) result
These examples apply to supported European Audi VINs with ZZZ in positions 4–6. North American Audi VINs use another layout.
Find the Typ code after ZZZ
Our decoder reads positions 7–8 only when the supported European VIN has ZZZ in positions 4–6. The Typ code can narrow the model and chassis generation. It does not by itself identify the engine, gearbox or factory option package.
Compare the body and generation
Audi model families may include saloon, Avant and Cabriolet versions. Some Typ mappings cover more than one generation, including the A4 B6/B7 family. Use the body, year and documents to distinguish the car before choosing a catalog variant.
Treat recall results as campaigns to check
A campaign for an Audi model can apply to only certain engines or production dates. The model-level results here do not show whether your VIN is included or whether a repair has already been completed. Confirm that with Audi or an authorised repairer.
| Code | Model family | Mapped generation |
|---|---|---|
| 8P | A3 | 8P |
| 8V | A3 | 8V |
| GY | A3 | Not resolved by this code |
These are supported pattern examples, not a complete list of VIN formats or a manufacturer build record. A matching model family does not confirm an individual car’s trim.
How we match sources and handle missing data. For US-market vehicles, compare NHTSA’s VIN decoder and VIN-specific recall lookup. For other markets, confirm campaigns with the manufacturer or an authorised repairer.
Using the Audi A3 Sportback (5 doors) specifications
Start with the car’s year, body and engine, then compare the matching row. Several variants may share a model name while differing in power, transmission or drive layout. If the advert conflicts with the registration or manufacturer documents, resolve the mismatch before relying on the specifications. A VIN lookup can help narrow the comparison, but does not replace a build record or inspection.
