HOW CAN I GET THE EXACT PRODUCTION DATE OF MY CX? Getting the correct date of manufacture for your CX can be a trial.
If
your car is NZ new then there is a 99% chance that NZ registration
records ( available from www.carjam.co.nz) will be correct. However this
may be incorrect if your car was directed here from another country eg
Australia or the UK or if was privately imported.
The only 100% accurate way of establishing the date is to use the ORCA number.
You
will find this number painted on the front side of the left hand
suspension strut ( as long as the guard has not been replaced). You may
have to encourage the wiring loom to move to see the number.
Then visit this website: http://www.citroen-ds-id.com/gen/Gen_Organr.html, enter your ORCA number and up will come the exact production date of your CX.
However this only applies to models built after 01 Jan. 1980.
