BSJ Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Vin numbers are unique to your car and give manufacturer, country of manufacture, year of manufacture, model, major options and usually the engine number of the vehicle, which are the last 7 or 8 alpha-numeric characters. That's all I know! Using the Vin number you can check with car company customer relations if it left the factory as you see it today, and check the motor registry and insurance records to see what your car has been up to since it left the factory. If you check with the car company your going to get exactly what you need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaBuddha Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) What do you mean, "Read". Like to figure out what year, make, model, country etc.? What problem are you trying to fix. And VIN number = Vehicle Identification Number number. lol. It's like saying ATM Machine. Sorry, I had to.

famil Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Famil...... What problems do you have? Hello guys, Why I need VIN number? Because when I went to the service to check problems of my car they asked VIN number and when they entered VIN they said it’s not correct. Why incorrect? I know because of my car made in Thailand but at the service they had software for Germany or US Ford cars. And have mind the VIN number give not only manufacturer, country of manufacture, year of manufacture, model, it gives everything. Problems are: spark plugs are not working I can’t find them in my country I have to order them from another country and when I ordered they also asked VIN. Also ABS light always ON. I have no manual book etc. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Ok you mean the 'glow plugs'. I think you have the 2.5 diesel (turbo). The ABS light always on could mean the Brake pads or the abs sensor need replacing. All of these things can be brought from Ebay if you can not find in Azerbaijan. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-Ranger-2-5Di-Di...id=p3286.c0.m14 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-00-01-02...sQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-Ranger-2-5D-2WD...id=p3286.c0.m14 Also the VIN is on the front chassis behind the wheel on the drivers side (right hand drive) Ebay is coooool Edited August 21, 2009 by thaicbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
