These are the colour codes for the paint work on your van, there are two code numbers for each colour, one being the actual paint code and one is the sales code that dealers used to order the van in the colour the customer wanted.
The paint code on your van can be found on a silver sticker under your passenger seat, inside the front cover of your service book or on the white paper sticker that was attached to the door post above your accelerator pedal.
Paint codes change from year to year so be sure you get the right table for your van (in orange).
If you cannot find your paint code and you really need this information then take a trip to your local VW dealership with your reg. number and your 17 digit chassis number and the parts dept. should be able to give you a print out of your vehicles details otherwise you could get your vans "birth certificate" from Germany at....

Please don't get confused with the paint codes on your van having a 'L' in front on them,this ( I think) stands for lacquer. E.g. the code on the silver sticker under the seat says 'LH5G' this is the same as 'H5G' ,just remove the  L !
