First, I will say that I placed and paid for my Westfalia's birth certificate on February 25 and received it June 9. Considerably longer than I have had to wait for the ones I have ordered in the past.

I have a curious result on my certificate. My Bus is a 1986 GL that is painted Savanna Beige. Like every other Savanna Beige Bus I have ever seen, it has the tan interior, but the certificate indicates that the interior should be "Grey / Red." Could this just be a mistake on their part? A grey / red interior in a Savanna Beige Bus is definitely an odious match, in my opinion and I have never seen this color interior on any Bus! Are there any other Savanna Beige Bus drivers out there who has received this information on their certificate?

My options are listed as:

D1, D82 VW Vanagon GL with Westfalia interior
P27 Westfalia special equipment for VW Vanagon
M 027 Compliance with US West Coast emissions regulations
M 998 Two electrical rear view mirrors

Perhaps the D1, D82 indicates the equipment that would be standard for a weekender and the P27 is indicated for the pop top?

We have bought three of these things for our vans/trucks. Unfortunately, especially considering the cost, they make mistakes.
I don't know if it's because the worker was lazy/unqualified or they have a messy system.
A couple of the mistakes on ours were really obvious, others not so.

Have you looked at the main thread on this topic?

As you read the later posts you can get a feel for the declining quality.

I still think they're worth having if you have an unusual VW. Not so much if your VW is run of the mill.

[Paulbeard]

So where do you look for this M-Plate? I got as far as the seat and the swivel base but I don't see how the pedestal comes out to access the underside. There is an aux battery there: does removing that give me enough room?

I was able to decode most of my van's M-codes at the "type 2 M-Plate decoder" (thanks Teamworld tour for posting link). I learned my van came originally with a Webasto heater, which was a revelation. But 3 came up as "unknown M-codes":
P27 (full camper, I think)
343 (spare wheel under front end, I think)
and D31.
Anyone know what "D31"is? Thanks!

[VanAllen_84]

I found my M-code sticker below the fuse box on my '84.

I think I properly decoded my plate at VW-Mplate.com and using the list of codes provided, I figured the "027" is for the California Emissions and the "796" is for the Air Conditioner. "002" decodes as 5-speed, I assume it is including reverse gear, since I actually have a 4-speed. "018" is padded steering wheel.

I have some "D" codes and a three-digit code that I have no idea.
D41
D82
D86
090

Saw someone mention that the D codes could be factory codes, so probably won't find out what those mean, but curious about the three digit code (090)...??

Hi all,
Does anyone have the secret decoder link to translate the m-codes. I tried the brickworks link and it didn't go where I wanted it to.

I was looking at my very faded tag trying to see the paint code, I had to gently pull it off and backlight it with an led work light to make out as much as I could

It was no help on the paint it simply displayed ---- it is a very rare color that I've never seen on another doka except for advertising brochures.

But here's the codes I'd like to know

GQX
HPD
051
210
430
675
758
998

Thanks,
Dai
