How a Audi e-tron GT VIN is structured
Every Audi carries a standardized 17-character VIN. Using the sample format WAUFFAFL7GA123456 (Sample 2016 Audi A4 quattro built at Ingolstadt, Germany.), here is what each position means:
| Position | Section | In sample | What it encodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) | WAU | Identifies Audi and the country/region of build (WAU, WA1, TRU, WUA). |
| 4–8 | Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS) | FFAFL | Manufacturer-defined: model family, engine, and body/series. The exact meaning varies by make and model year. |
| 9 | Check digit | 7 | A calculated value that validates the other 16 characters. |
| 10 | Model year | G | Encodes the model year on a standardized 30-year cycle. |
| 11 | Assembly plant | A | Identifies the factory that built the vehicle. |
| 12–17 | Sequential number | 123456 | The unique production serial for this specific unit. |
WAU and WA1 identify Audi passenger cars and SUVs built in Germany at Ingolstadt or Neckarsulm. TRU identifies Audi Hungary (Győr) — the TT, RS series, and certain Q3 builds. WUA identifies Audi RS / quattro GmbH high-performance models. Decode your own VIN above for the exact values — the sample is illustrative of the format only.
Where Audi builds it
- Ingolstadt, Germany
- Neckarsulm, Germany
- Győr, Hungary
- Brussels, Belgium (e-tron, Q8 e-tron)
- San José Chiapa, Mexico (Q5)
The 11th VIN character identifies which plant built a specific e-tron GT; the assembly plant is one of the facts the decode confirms.
Sources, data & limitations
Data source: VIN decoding returns manufacturer-reported attributes from NHTSA's vPIC database; recall campaigns and owner complaints come from NHTSA. Manufacturer-submitted fields vary by model year and market. Coverage: recalls and complaints are matched to the decoded year and model and do not confirm that this individual VIN has an unrepaired recall — verify exact-VIN status with Audi or NHTSA. This free decoder does not include accident, title, odometer, or ownership history.

FAQ
What does a Audi e-tron GT VIN decoder show?
Model year, trim level, engine and displacement, transmission, drive type, body style, and assembly plant for that exact e-tron GT — from manufacturer-submitted NHTSA vPIC data. CarWhere also cross-references open recalls, federal owner complaints, and verified buyer transaction prices for the same year and model.
Where is the VIN on a Audi e-tron GT?
Lower driver's-side corner of the windshield (visible from outside), the driver's door jamb sticker, the title, or the insurance card. WAU and WA1 identify Audi passenger cars and SUVs built in Germany at Ingolstadt or Neckarsulm. TRU identifies Audi Hungary (Győr) — the TT, RS series, and certain Q3 builds. WUA identifies Audi RS / quattro GmbH high-performance models.
Is the Audi e-tron GT VIN decoder free?
Yes — free, no account, no lookup limit. The optional $9.99 Full VIN Report adds the original window sticker (where Audi publishes one), itemized factory options, a recall and complaint scan, and a market price check with a negotiation target.
Can I check e-tron GT recalls and problems by VIN?
Yes — at the model level. Decoding the VIN pins the exact year and model, and CarWhere surfaces the open NHTSA recall campaigns and federal owner complaints filed for that year/model — useful for spotting known trouble areas before buying a used e-tron GT. A campaign match does not by itself confirm this individual VIN has an unrepaired recall; verify exact-VIN status through NHTSA or a Audi dealer (recall repairs are free for eligible vehicles).
