I'm trying to find if my Yaris was assembled in France or Japan?
Problem: Rear left wheel bearing is on the way out and I stopped at my friendly autoparts shop to price a replacement (generic), price €140 approx, but I need to know if Jap or Fr assembled as the bearing hub is different I was told.
I contacted my local Toyota dealer who quoted me €253 for the hub, but was not able to tell me where the car was assembled.

Here's the first half of the VIN code which I hope may be on someone's list......???
VNKKC98380A (then 6 more numbers)
It's a 2008 year, 1.4 D4D registered new in Ireland.

I email'd Toyota Ireland to ask, and I guess it will take a day or two to get a response.

Thanks for any help :headbang:

France as denoted by the V in your VIN code.
