It is also common for Westfalias to have to dates on the door sticker:  an
"incomplete vehicle manufactured date"; and the normal manufactured date.
Although, I don't think they started putting those stickers on till the
later models.

Cheers,

Subject: Re: VIN # meaning

Thanks...that would mean that the van was the 41 144 th to be produced in
that year 1986. I am asking because the sticker  in the door jam shows 1985
but my van is a 1986 with some 1985 (and older)  remains such as the camper
light fixture (original). That bothers me because I am trying to determine
if the camper wiring would be of 1985 or 1986 before installing my Gowesty
aux battery kit as the instructions are different whether it is a 1985 or
1986...
