    All Mk6 Golf (hatch) BlueMotion/77/103 TDI's, GTI's Edition 35/Pirelli & R are manufactured in Wolfsburg Germany.

    All Passat Wagon's, R36 (sedans & wagons)'s & CC's are manufactured in Emden, Germany.

    All Passat Sedans's are manufactured in Mosel, Germany.

    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.

    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
