THIS IS MY FIRST POST!!!!!

Hey every one. I dont have anything in my glove box as far as options codes go. I'm possitive i have the Z51 but i want to confirm it with the code. How else can i find this info.

By the way it is a 98 coupe with a asix speed.

Welcome to the forum.

I recall reading on the earlier C5 models, the options list was on the underside of one of the rear storage compartment covers.

If not, then :confused: I dunno.

:cheers:

Yeah i read that thread, and i checked. Those numbers make no sense, just looks like a part number for the carpet.

6699

In 98 it really was under one of the outer lids, in the rear compartment! If it is not there, someone must have changed the lid along the way!

the label should look like this:

I heard that it used to be under the door to center console. :cheers:

it's under the left rear compartment lid.

Where can we find out what these codes mean. A couple I can understand, but I need a decoder ring for the rest :D

Very curious :confused:

A lot of them are standard factory "build codes," not options. But all of the option codes will be listed in with the others. For example, option code G92 will be listed on an A4 with that option, but there is also a code for the standard axle.

C4's had the parts ID tag under the center console door. C5's switched location to the left storage-well cover (97-99, I think) and then to the glove box (2000+).

If you have a six-speed, you've got 3.42s in the rear.....

Here is a link to the basics for translating the codes on a 1998 C5:

Here is another one that is basically the same thing:

They may not translate all the codes on the glove box or rear cover. Some of those codes relate to what kind of wax protection was put on your car before it was shipped and other such nebulous stuff. But they should get the options available in a brochure, etc.

If you have a good relationship with your dealership, call them up with your VIN, and they can to to a GM web site and get your 'Build Sheet' which will list all of the options along with a description of each.
