Or putting "WDB" in front of the VIN.

I tried that, you can sometimes trick the Russian site into decoding an early vin number by adding WDB to the beginning.

The Russian site only works with 1981+ models and some 1980 models.

The Russian site can decode this car, vin 11603612007165 if you put a WDB in front.

It also decodes my Mom's '79 R107, but not my '79 W123
