It's a four-digit number, stamped on one of the "tines" of the two
pronged fork shaped thingy that sticks into the door from the door
handle. If you go to a locksmith, it's a good idea to bring the door
handle with you so you can test the key. Other useful information is
that the code is found in the VW "N series", i.e. he should look for
"N5678" in the code books.
