8A1

The first three characters of every VIN are the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). The code 8A1 is assigned to Renault Argentina, with the country of manufacture Argentina.

So any 17-character VIN that begins with 8A1 was produced by Renault Argentina:

8A1ZZZ0000000000000

The WMI only identifies the maker. To read the year, engine, plant and serial number, decode the complete 17-digit VIN with our free tool — then check which ECU it uses and what tuning services (DPF, EGR, AdBlue, DTC off, Stage) are available.
