Seat Arosa / VW Lupo

[cardaft]

I was wondering where the lupo and arosa was manufactured?

And am i right in thinking that they were made in the same factory?

I know the Fox is made in Brazil but could not think of the arosa and lupo was manufactured.

[vdubgti]

Germany is it?

someone told me that SEAT was originally Spanish but then Germany manufactured them....

Thank Lunalupi for this bit of info.....

While decoding my VIN number, in search of a paint code (no luck by the way) I found something odd..... It seems my Arosa was made in Wolfsburg - I thought that was the home of VW, not SEAT!

Anyhow, was just wondering if anyone else has a Wolfsburg Arosa?

11th digit of your VIN code is the factory, decode using the list below:

A Ingolstadt, Germany

B Brussels, Belgium

D Bratislave, Slovakia

E Emden, Germany

G Gratz, Germany

H Hannover, Germany

K Osnabrueck, Germany

M Mexico

N Neckarsulm, Germany; Mlada Boleslav

P Mosel

R Martorell, Spain

S Stuttgart, Germany

T Kvasiny

V Palmela, Portugal

W Wolfsburg, Germany

X Posnan

Y Pamplona, Spain

Spooky, I was gonna ask this question. But you've prompte dme to find out for myself.

Ran my VIN through This Cool little tool and it came up as being manufactured in Wolfsburg. That's a Lupo GTI btw.

[cardaft]

Thats interesting, i wouldnt have thought they were made in as many places as that.

Mine is 'R' so thats Martorell, Spain.

Were Lupos made at the same places then?

Thanks for the info btw

Martorell, Barcelona, Spain

Some of the lecturers in Business Systems took a field trip to Barcelona last year and visited Martorell. They said all they could see was VW boxes!

I find it amuzing that the fillers are ZZZ as in ZZZzzzzzzz... for my meagre 1.0MPi

S!

I think all lupos and mk1 arosa's were built in wolfsburg.

mk2 in in spain.

may be wrong though, but this is based on the ones I have seen or heard of.

Ah right i didnt know that, i just thought Arosas and Lupos were built together in the same place

[one litre wonder ;)]

mine was portugal , the same factory as my dads Altea

[jon_273]

My Lupo SE was made in Belgium.

There seems to be a lot of different places where they were made style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> .

After this interesting piece of information I've found out my 02-plate Arosa 1.0S MPi is a Martorell model

The list of SCC - I've seen that before, wonder how true it is. Might ask Seat UK (if I feel sad enough lol)

[Petrified]

strange that,

I guess I couldn't be further from the truth then style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

my lupo S was built in Wolfsburg too, maybe most of them were untill a certain date? both mine were built in 2000.

[Ramirez]

from that list mine seems to have been built in Martorell, Spain ('99 Mk1).

[VWR Lupo]

Both mine and Kadys lupo and arosa were built in Wolfsburg style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> cool!

[The subtle modder]

well my 2003 arosa was built in Martorell, Spain so its a right mismatch of factorys style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

[lunalupi]

Or on your V5
