ECS Tuning Ultimate 1.8T, which one for my car?

[jc_333]

Looking to order some parts from ECS but as stupid as it sounds I don’t know which kit fits my car. Their website states the different kit for Vin numbers up to and from but it doesn’t match my vin number? I have the letter “A” in my vin, do I remove this to have just 8E34153745? That leaves 8 numbers but the ECS vin reference has 7…totally lost here.

I believe LHD and RHD should not have any differences on the engine parts I am looking to purchase. Can anyone help me confirm if it’s the ES#5184 or ES6144 kit that will fit my car?

Many thanks!
Jim

These are questions you should be asking the folks at ECS!

well first, is your car an 04? lol if not i dont know why youre asking. based on your vin and what i think youre supposed to look at, it looks to me like you want #5184 but ask ecs to make sure.

Thanks guys.

I wanted to call ECS but thought some of the members might still be up as I'm located in HK.

Called ECS just now..confirmed its part #5184 with the only difference being the accessory belt.

Thanks
