I am in South Africa, and there´s a VW golf, i think an older model, i´m good with aircooled but not watercooled. Anyway, the engine nr is not showing up in the police system and therefor the car cannot be registered due to suspected tampering. Engine nr seems to be an oddball, JB631576 Police says car vin shows up with different engine nr. As well the formatting is different, other golf engine nrs look different. Can this be an engine from another vw, or import? The nr has a vw sign next to it, so should be a vw engine. If the police can trace the nr and see it is genuine, the car can be registered. The nr does not look tampered to me. Can there be another nr somewhere? Is there a way to trace the nr? All help would be appreciated, last option is another engine, but that would likely be avoided, this engine runs fine. This is for a customer, not for me.
