Default Your car info ?

Probably a really stupid question, but here goes.....

How can you find out everything about your car ?

By that I mean, things like :

32v or 40v, how many hp
All extra's on the car including order codes etc etc etc etc etc

Apologises in advance if this is a stupid question !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I knew!
It's "supposed" to be in codes on what I think is called a "build sticker" in the service book, duplicated in the spare wheel well.
Except mine has neither.....

Something starting from the VIN would be useful.

I have both stickers that allow you to decode the spec

This site will do the work for you once you type all the codes in - just watch for zeros and O's!

not sure tbh - suspect the info will be long lost from Audi UK systems, but might be worth a speculative call to customer services to see if you can find someone helpful that'll go the extra mile to help....
