I'm not sure if it's the inspector's job to consult other sources than 
what they have in the database on their laptop. The guy was very nice 
and pleasant, it was just that when he showed up the first time he 
couldn't gather that information in a timely fashion so he knew he had 
to come back. I told him that I had written to VW here in Germany to 
get technical data (the same place where they do those "birth 
certificates" by the way), so we were waiting for that. But 6 (!) weeks 
later VW came back and said that the microfilm with information about 
my specific chassis number was too old and brittle so they could not 
help me. So I talked to the inspector again and he promised to try and 
dig something up, and he was successful.
