Finding the build code from the VIN

Post by Doggy »

Anybody know how?

My lad has picked up a cheap 206 HDi, (which has been patched up following a relatively minor front-end ding), but I can't find the build code for PP2000 access. It worked reasonably OK with the 8407 example PP2000 displays, but I assume there must be a straightforward way of cross-referencing it from the VIN.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

You don't have the sticker with it on?
Something like this?

EDIT
I guess you can find it via Servicebox, put in the VIN then go on characteristics (translated from ita) and then guess it from the value in N° APV/PR
Mine is 08761 *** and I guess 8761 is my build code?

EDIT EDIT:
just checked and yes, it is right. I wonde what the numbers I hidden in the ** are.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: found it:
* le véhicule a été fabriqué le jour 10801, qui correspond au 05/06/2006
* le véhicule a été fabriqué dans l'usine dont le code est 88, qui correspond à l'usine de Mulhouse
* le véhicule a été fabriqué sur la ligne de montage 4
* le véhicule fabriqué est le 0158-ième véhicule fabriqué ce jour sur cette ligne de montage.

The ** is the factory it was assembled in - mine is 89 - Sochaux.

That's from here: http://toby.or.tv/build_col_eng2.html but there are better ones about, the one I have is based on XL but I can't remember where I found it.

Thanks, guys.

I don't have the sticker with the build code, but do have the VIN.

Unless I'm missing something, both your links will tell me when it was built, as soon as I type in the number I don't have.........

(If I'm getting confused again, please let me know & I'll tell the nurse).

I thought you had access to Service Box :? PM me the vin, I can stick it in SB for the RPO.

Is service box different to PP2000 or a feature of PP2000

Thanks

Old thread! Predates my time on this forum :cheesy:

Servicebox part of the Peugeot parts/documentation website: http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com

Nothing to do with PP2000.
