G'day
My ff also has a vin that states that its made in 2002,  I find that also strange as they were only made from 2004 till 2006.
The ff is a second-hand import from Japan to here [New Zealand]
My vin is  WME4540322B053803  so Ukkram, you are not the only one who is confused about when the ff was made.
Greetings

Cannot possibly be 2002. forfours were indeed made from 2004-2006 although some were registered after that.

err no!

registered in 2009, yes. made in 2009, no!

and how did you check when your car was made eddie?
best go to mercedes and find out from them when it was made... but as iv said before in this thread, why are you worried about how old your car is?

G'day again
Mr Singh, thank you for your answer on the age of my ff
I went by the vin nr, and the 9th digit is a 2 and according to one of the most popular vin checker, its made in 2002,  but that is obviously wrong.
Not worried about when my ff was made but nice to know when it was delivered and ready for the road,
Greetings,
eddie.

G'day again,
I was looking through the optional codes for my ff and on ''K01'' it says it has ''ADDITIONAL 5 LITRE FUEL FILL''(FFO) would that mean that I can get 47+5 liter in the tank?
Can anybody help me out please.
Greetings,
eddie.
