Questions about my decoded VIN

I'm not 100% certain, and someone may correct me, but I think "Power 85" means that the engine develops 85kw/h - German manufacturers tend to quote power in kilowatts/hour - and that equates to 115bhp (I think).
If you dont mind me asking, how do you get a VIN decoded?
Give it to a dealer. They can tell you.

What about MECH... manual, right?
