Audi VIN Decoder
Enter any 17-character Audi VIN. We pull the NHTSA VPIC record (engine, drive, plant, trim) and check for open recalls — about 30 seconds, free.
How the Audi decoder works
CheckMyVIN sends your VIN to the NHTSA VPIC (Vehicle Product Information Catalog) API. VPIC returns detailed manufacturer data per VIN; we extract the 18 most relevant fields — make, model, year, body class, engine displacement, engine model code, drive type, fuel type, transmission, assembly plant, and electrification details. For Audi specifically, the engine model code is the most useful field: it lets us look up the right oil grade, spark plug part number, and known weak points.
