Not hard to find out if you use Google Polo's are made in South Africa

Anybody can edit the information in Wikipedia, so it doesn't have to be always 100% correct.

Sorry to disappoint you but there are 118 TSI's with the Assembly Plant character (11th) in the Vin No. as P - Mosel and also W - Wolfsburg.

Don't know about the other models, only checked the 118 TSI's.

I stand corrected

I wonder if its a Model Year thing???

All TSI in the 2012/13MY I have come across so far are Mosel built.

Sorry on that one too...my MY11 118TSi is built in Mosel.


Lets agree that they are all built in Germany!

Redbook.com.au is actually a good source for Country of Origin info.

Normal Polo's are made in South Africa
GTI is made in Pamplona, Spain

and try getting a VW Dealer to admit the fact that the current and previous Jetta's are built in Mexico
