In an effort to establish my name here and help all Passat owners, I have been allowed to start this thread (with some limitations).
I work at a Vw dealership. I have completed all Vw training courses required to become a Certified Parts Expert. Next year, I will be a Certified Parts Master. But I am not here to brag. I am here to help.
I have been authorized to help all PassatWorld members with Part Numbers, List Price (This is true MSRP list, not inflated list), and on occasion, ETKA illustrations.
Like I said, There are a few stipulations. I have already mentioned that I can not solicit sales or offer discounts. So, Please don't ask.
[/B]*Edit: I have been authorized to offer a 25% discount to any and all PassatWorld members. Just contact me via E-mail or call the toll free number below[/B]
Second, If you want European parts numbers, I can help with that because ETKA allows us to view the European catalog. However, there are no dealers outside of europe that can order the parts because of legality issues. There are vendors that buy them and get them shipped overseas, but I am not one of them.
Third, It is VERY difficult for me to assist with upgrades because Vw does not tell us what all is required to put a Multi Function Steering Wheel in a car that didn't come with one. I expect there are DIY's here. You can find your parts list there then ask. Then I am able to help.
So, With those out of the way, If you have any questions for a Vw parts guy and don't want travel to a dealership just to ask, Here is your opportunity.
Edit: While I may be able to quote part numbers for European parts, I can not quote prices. Vw does not supply us with euro parts prices because we are technically not supposed to be ordering them.
Also, Lets keep all parts requests in the thread that way everyone can benefit from the knowledge. You never know, we may both be inadvertantly helping someone.
