This is one to keep a watch on as I add more.

It will in time become harder to decode the options as the online tools refer to vag listings but codes are being repurposed, so what was once a door mirror for a mk2 might now come up as an 18” space saver from an Audi A6 or whatever.

G0A comes up as 4-speed manual transmission, which I assume would be correct for a CL - I'll update the list.
This also fits since G0B and G0C are 5 speed.


H0J comes up as Tyres 245/40 R18 93Y (with modified sidewall) which clearly isn't correct so is one of the codes that has been overwritten for modern vehicles.
