How do you decode a VIN?

I am looking at an older Audi 100, and it has a 10 digit, number-only vin. How do you decode that to find what year it is?

"The 10th character in your Audi's VIN tells you the model year. " Look @ the chart, it goes all the way back to '71. The later #'s in VIN's were just for assembly plant location & production sequence. __________________ ================================================== ====================== Michael '01 Black allroad 6MT '86 *"Titan Red"* 4ktq '93 Indigo Pearl Effect V8q '93 Crystal Silver Metallic S4 '90 Black CQ '86 Titan Red Metallic 5ktqa '84 Tornado Red & Oceanic Blue CGT's '86 Zermatt Silver 4kq Wife says "thin the fleet", msg me if interested in any ================================================== ======================
