hello I bought a slightly flood damaged Audi A5 2021. it’s got the touch screen MMI system, which was damaged and the mechanics replaced it and some other modules Im not too familiar I just paid him and told him sort it. now the MMI is working fine but this morning I found a problem: on the MMI when I view the vin it’s showing the vin of the replacement MMI and not the cars actual vin! I’ve asked a few people and they said they haven’t got a clue, had someone plug a diagnostic into the ecu and that’s showing the correct vin so not sure what module or part is responsible for the vin on the MMI?? Big pain in the back side because when it comes to selling the car , the potential buyer will think it’s stolen or something. really got me feeling Anxious! Any help or info on how to correct the MMI vin would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm a complete newby to this forum. I have a house in France and some years ago bought a left hand drive A6 in the UK at, what I thought was the right price. I've had it re-registered in France and have the official carte gris (the French equivalent of a V5) On applying for a two year Controle Technique (French MOT) I now find that the VIN number which the French authorities know the car by (is on carte gris) - shown on the base of windscreen, door pillar and boot sticker, is not the same as the VIN number stamped on the bulkhead. I have been told that i must now get the engine bay stamped with the number shown in the three places mentioned above. Has anyone had any similar experiences? Can I check anywhere for the two VIN numbers to check I've not got a 'cut & shut'. This is very annoying since I've been running this car (a 1993 model) for the last 10 years. French legislation has recently been tightened up.....
