Evening All.....
I have been looking at the VIN numbers of my two Mercedes and a number of sites which explain such things insist that the 10th. digit is the year in which the car was built.
In my case (2006 CLK and 2008 SLK) both are the number "2" indicating a build year of 2002. Now as both have the 7 speed auto box this is plainly incorrect however I am at a loss to understand what has gone wrong ? Surely it is not that difficult ? Can anyone shine a light on where I am going wrong please ??
