Is there an online resource where I can plug in my car's VIN and have it tell me the correct serial numbers for the engine, tranny and also indicate the paint code?
Thanks Nick |

No. You can get a COA that will tell you the options and paint and maybe engine number but at $100 and questionable accuracy.

True - but after 3 tries by PCNA's COA dept., researching everything & documenting to correct their errors, and then calling the GM of the PCNA Customer Care Dept. - I actually got mine correct! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) IIRC regular price is $119 now, but PCA members get $20 off & PCNA gives another $20 off if you send a copy of the window sticker (& maybe dealer BoS/etc.). However, after you find & write down your VIN, engine & tranny case numbers - then you can call PCNA's 800 #, hit the Customer Care option (#3 IIRC) & ask if they can confirm if they're matching nos. They can look at the digitized Kardex to verify, and you might also ask if the HO & any other applicable Recalls were done on it, cuz they have to do anything not done. You may have to do a song-n-dance that you'll order the COA thru PCA after your membership is official, but just want to confirm it on your new 914 & want to update them on your new ownership. OH & .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
