ORGA number
This number shows the day when your car was actually as
-
sembled on the production line. The dealers and parts
stores use this number (often called ORGA or RP number,
the second stands for Replacement Parts) to identify the vari
-
ous parts and components fitted to your car.
On various models, the ORGA number can be found in
different locations. It is on the top of the left hand suspen
-
sion turret on Visas, C15s, AXs and CXs (often hidden by
the wiring harness). BXs and XMs have it stamped on the
left hand front door A-pillar, above the courtesy light
switch. On the GSA you find it on the inner right front
wing. Xantiae switched to the other side: the number can
be found on the bulkhead just in front of the right suspen
-
sion sphere.
Calculating the production date is very easy using the fol
-
lowing table. Locate the largest number in the table still less
than or equal to your organization number. To see an exam
-
ple, let's assume the number is 4859. Then the largest num
-
ber will be 4832 in the cell February 1990. Just subtract
this number from your organization number to get the day
of the month of the production of your car (in our example,
4859 – 4832=27 yields February 27, 1990).
If you receive the non-existent date zero (this happens
when your organization number is not greater than but
equal to the number in the table), simply take the last day
of the previous month. For instance, for the organization
number 5013 the largest number in the table is 5013 in
the cell August 1990, subtraction results in zero, hence
the production date is July 31, 1990.
