Data Label Question

[dwr123]

I have a 2015 C 250 AMG line. I assume it is a W205. I notice on the data label on the door jam and in the logbook the 'Type' is given as 204.

Is this normal? I hope!

What are the first 3 numbers from the VIN?

or your Registration Number if you cannot locate the vin

Can't you tell by looking? They look pretty drastically different inside and out.

If it looks like this, it's a W204:

If it looks like this, it's a W205:

Thanks for the prompt reply

Is the vin Number

it definately looks like a 205. I just wondered about the type 204 comment on the log book and data plate

 

[whitenemesis]

So you have a 205

I can post up the datacard if you wish?

 

[dwr123]

Whitenemesis. that would be great.

Is it normal for the type to be designated 204 on the door label?

Thanks
David

It's not uncommon for the V5 to have an error, after all it's human input. The door plate is more unusual.

[CaptainChaos]

I've got 204 somewhere on my 205.
Might be the on the V5.

 

[Yugguy]

I find the datacards fascinating with the various bits the decide to list. Like the fact it has to detail a left half axle AND a right half axle. Like it could come with one or the other. Mine datacard has something similar.

I'd love to know exactly what this bit refers to:

03A OIL OFFSET AMOUNT +300 ML OIL

 

[Delayed Steve]

Is the delivery date the date it was built or the date it arrived at the dealership?
I know it sounds like a stupid question but cars I've had before have had build date and no mention of the delivery date..

 

[dwr123]

This is great information, thank you.

A few things there I didn't know I had.

502 3 YEARS OF MAP UPDATES FREE OF CHARGE is a good one. I will remind the dealer at the next service

 

[whitenemesis]

Delivery date is the date the car left the production line.

What site do you use for VIN checks? Those I've tried never seem to work very well.

 

[bob6600]

What site do you use for VIN checks? Those I've tried never seem to work very well.

I'm sure WN uses EPC.

Some sites to try

VIN decoder is the best online tool to check vin number | VinDecoderz.com

Mercedes-Benz Car parts catalog | MBFans.info

VIN: MERCEDES-BENZ (???????? ??????????) | CARInfo

@OP

I'm sure another member asked the same question and had Type 204 on his V5 when in fact it was a W205
