MILLENNIUM
CUP EDITION
MILLENNIUM BEETLE - VIN DATABASE
DATABASE of currently here registered " MILLENNIUM CUP EDITION " Models
At this point its our attempt to start and record the "MILLENNIUM CUP EDITION" models that are still in circulation and to connect the owners of the few models with each other for data exchange.
Together, with such documents and evidence, we can one day persuade “VW AG” to take a position.
For the ONLY VW model built in small series, for which, according to VW AG - Wolfsburg,
NO DOCUMENTATION, DOCUMENTS or even the most minimal DESCRIPTION is available.
The same car cannot be found in any MUSEUM and cannot be seen as an exhibit at VW CLASSIC CARS!
This car should also receive its place and the necessary recognition from the large VW family.
And if it's only for the benefit and respect of the VW fan community!

The currently here registered " Millennium Beetle " Models
* The engine codes listed are taken from the sticker on the timing belt cover!However, all service books
for these cars (PR CODE stickers) list an APH code.
* An unresolved issue.
* The ECU programmer at ABT Tuning seemed to recall that it was a case of reduced
power to compensate for the poor quality gasoline in the Emirates!
* However, a statement from an Al Naboohad employee—still the owner of one of these cars—refers to
complaints from some princes regarding the lack of power, and that, as a result, the importer sent all
ECUs to ABT for a "performance upgrade" to 180 hp!
* This explanation appears most likely based on current knowledge (December 2025),considering the standard output of an AVC engine of 150 hp.
* Could this be the reason for the APH engine being listed in the service books?
* How can this be used to address the ECU performance update? Is this the first clue to resolving
the AVC/APH discrepance?

YOUR HELP is welcome ! :)
If you are the owner of such a car, know an owner or know where such a "device" is parked and could make contact, I would be very happy about an email or a call. It has now become a life's work for me, which I have been pursuing for over 20 years. A solution or statement from VW AG would be the best gift for me.
Your email or your circle of acquaintances could be the breakthrough in this research :)
Thanks for that in advance!
