How to read VIN ALL

posted by  someone claiming to be Ron on  Thu May 24 15:14 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Can someone tell me how to read the VIN for 2001 MY Volvos? I'm most interested in which digits give the year and month of manufacture, but I'd really like to be able to decipher the whole thing. I thought the code brakdown would be in the owners manual as it was in my Saabs, but it's not.

The year and month of manufacturing will be on the sticker inside one of the doors. The Year will also be indicated by the TENTH digit (it used to be a letter for cars up to and including MY2000).
