et997 0 Posted October 11, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S@m 156 Posted October 11, 2012 What is BVA4? Is it a 4-speed automatic transmission? BVA4 - Boite Vitesse Automatique 4! So, yes, 4 speed auto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,622 Posted October 11, 2012 typically rare Japanese market cars, auto+aircon+cat, 122 bhp gti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
et997 0 Posted October 11, 2012 The car is now running with a 5-speed manual gearbox! So we are safe to say it's been converted to manual afterwards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
et997 0 Posted October 11, 2012 BTW, is there any way to tell the original color? It is mentioned above "non-metallic". Right now the car is in White. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipstick 382 1 Cars Posted October 11, 2012 A white 205 would be non metallic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted October 11, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
