Background
In the spare tire hold surround (under the luggage area carpet), there is a self-stick label with VW codes printed on it that describe vehicle-specific equipment and options.
The label begins with the vehicle identification number (VIN) followed by a description of the vehicle, in our case “New Beetle GLX I2132/1.8”. The next line — 1C16N6 — is the Volkswagen sales code for “1.8L 4 cyl gas 180 Hp (132 KW) AWP engine with the 6-speed transmission”.
The rest of the label details the engine, transmission, paint, and options installed by the factory.
