Hi folks, I recently acquired, here in the US, a '91 Syncro Doka imported from Belgium (or the NL, not entirely sure which). It came fitted with 16" tyres, but I'm not sure if the model is actually a so-called '16" Syncro' vs. a 14" that has been fitted with larger diameter tyres. My understanding is VW delivered a 16" model from the factory and that sounds to me like the suspension (springs, shocks, etc.) would be unique to that model. Question is, how do I tell if my rig is actually one of these? I'm looking to re-do the suspension front and rear, and I think I would need to know in order to spec the replacement parts. Thanks for any feedback, Larry in Florida.

Under the drivers seat there should be a metal plate rivetted on which lists the http://vwt3.com/t3-tech/t3-data/vw-t3-m-codes-options-list/" rel="nofollow - M-codes (options) that the vehicle came with from the factory. The code for the 16" Syncro package is 625. ------------- 1988 1.6TD Westfalia Club Joker syncro |

The only M Code I've got is 355 which is for the 1.6L TD JX Engine (which has since been replaced). Otherwise nothing and the M Sticker is long gone. The top line of the M Plate reads: 17 1 6012 181 2470 97. Of these, the last two digits indicate the engine code and the fitted tire size. 9 = JX Engine 7 = 14" tyres. Can anyone here confirm this interpretation of the codes?
