N Neckarsulm, Germany; Mlada Boleslav
P Mosel
R Martorell, Spain
S Stuttgart, Germany
T Kvasiny

X Posnan
Y Pamplona, Spain

You can also visit the site below, which can decode up to the full VIN. The amount it can decode depends on the age of your car.

There isnt actually much to a vin
The VSSZZZ bit doesnt mean anything
Next 3 digits specify model eg Mk2 Leon is 1PZ
Next digit specigies year eg 9 is 2009
Next digit specifies factory eg R is Martorell
Last 6 digits are unique to that vehicle and holds the factory spec when put into the dealer system
