How can I tell the production date from a given part number?
For instance an ETA:
My ETA part number is as follows (two lines separated by an bar code):
000 141 57 25 DK0016

VDO 408 226/4/1 94M04 (03)

I am guessing the year is "94" (in front of M04) and made by VDO? Does it also explain whether or not my car is ASR (I know mine is not, but how to confirm when purchasing a replacement)?

Can someone confirm this and explain how to read part numbers? The other one I am interested in is the wire harness.
