205 Gti Vin Confusion

[et997 0]

Hello, there,

 

My first post here in this forum. First of all, thanks for having this place so that people like us can get together and share!

 

Currently I'm looking at a 1992 205 GTI 1.9, which has a VIN VF320CDK425051934. I tried using some VIN decoders on web, some said VIN unidentified, some said it is a 954cc auto 205!!

 

So I'm totally confused about what car I'm actually looking at.

 

Does anyone know how I could decode the VIN? Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

Most likely to be a DKZ cat engine given your location.

 

 

servicebox confirms that as well,. giving a build date of September 1, 1992.

Yes, VF320CDK sounds lika an XU9JAZ/DKZ car, from my experience .

Thanks guys!

 

What is BVA4? Is it a 4-speed automatic transmission?

 

205 GTI ever carried auto gearbox??

Not a Gentry is it?

What is BVA4? Is it a 4-speed automatic transmission?

 

BVA4 - Boite Vitesse Automatique 4!

 

So, yes, 4 speed auto.

typically rare Japanese market cars, auto+aircon+cat, 122 bhp gti.

The car is now running with a 5-speed manual gearbox! So we are safe to say it's been converted to manual afterwards!

BTW, is there any way to tell the original color? It is mentioned above "non-metallic". Right now the car is in White.

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

A white 205 would be non metallic.

I have never got to the bottom of the Hong Kong spec cars as they are special and totally different to the Japanese market Autos. Even the CTIs are 122bhp out there!
