malnik Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm in the UK and was wondering...where was my Journey made? Surely it didnt come all the way from ....USA? Plus is it possible to get a build date from somewhere on the car? The VW engine, is it also a VW gearbox? Which model engine is it?I have to say it seems a bit commercial vehicle like!!! Noisy.....

Sam Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 No, it is a Getrag transmission. The VW DSG is made by BorgWarner and the Dodge DCT is a Getrag transmission. For the engine, I don't know. It should be the previous generation of TDI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read, all Journeys sold globally are built in the Toluca, Mexico manufacturing facility. They are the only plant to manufacture the Journey.

As far as I know, Toluca is where all are made. Look on the sticker inside your door, near the latch mechanism. It should show a build date and country of origin. Keep in mind the build date is probably MM-YY format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STK Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 If the first digit in VIN is 3 - manufactured in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malnik Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Every evening i come home from work....and forget to look!!! Its cold outside and im not going out!!! Must remember tomorrow!!! But if they build it over there, why dont they offer the diesel in that part of the world. Gotta be better than 20mpg...and ok, i know its not as fast as a 3.6litre...it does go well once the turbo gets turning..... I'll update tomorrow.....

malnik Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hmmm....i guess i found out why my Journey was on special!!!! It was made 06/08. I purchased it 09/09. And it wasnt at the dealers. So it sat for 15 months somewhere...... Im a little concerned to find out where.....it was pretty harsh here last winter...then all through the English hot sunshine. Cancel that. It was a crap summer so no heat. I guess thats why it was 13,500...... And it was made i Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brwengel Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 My company manufactures the molding machines used by some of the suppliers for the Mexican assembly plant, and I can tell you that they mold both left-hand and right-hand instrument panels at that plant, so I would guess that they supply the Journey for all parts of the world.
