Which VIN codes does an Audi have?
The first three characters (WMI) of an Audi VIN are usually one of these: WAU – Audi AG, Germany (cars); WA1 – Audi AG, Germany (SUVs); WUA – Audi Sport GmbH (R8, RS models); TRU – Audi Hungaria, Győr (e.g. TT). A VIN with another code is not necessarily wrong, since makers change codes over time, but decode it to see what it says.
Which Audi models are checked most often?
On DecodeThatVIN, the most searched Audi models are the A4, A6, 80, A8 and 100. Each model page lists its generations and engines, so you can compare the car with its VIN.
