The Build Code is a combination of letters and numbers either hand- or machine-STAMPED on the transaxle at the locations noted above. It is ALWAYS either two or three letters/numbers followed by exactly five numbers for the 020 transaxle. The 02J transaxle has exactly three letters followed with about eleven numeric digits. When rebuilding any Volkswagen transaxle this build code is almost always required to get the correct parts for the unit.
