Question 2

What does a Audi VIN number look like?

Audi VINs begin with WAU (German) or TRU (Hungary, for TT). The 9th digit is always 0 for Audi — a distinctive identifier. All modern Audi VINs are exactly 17 characters — letters A–Z (excluding I, O, Q) and digits 0–9.

Enter your Audi VIN above to instantly check for any open NHTSA safety recalls. You can also visit NHTSA.gov and search by VIN. VIN Check Engine pulls recall data directly from the official NHTSA Recalls API.
