b4,b5,b6 etc is the model type. if you look in your boot, under the carpet, you will find a sticker with a lot of the relevant info, such as engine code, gearbox code etc...the best way to ind your model is to post a pic of your ride.

The vehicle type is, I think, the first 2 digits after the WAUZZZ part of the vin number (B5 / C5 / 8L etc)

The engine and gearbox codes are on the sticker in the spare wheel well and in the front of the service book. There's also a long list of 3 digit option codes which will tell you what factory options your car came with - you can decode it at http://www.igorweb.org/equidec/
