Mechatronic part number - does the suffix matters?

[mini2]

Hi guys,

I'm just shopping for a mechatronic now just in case when it fails - the dealer have looked up my particular vehicle will require 02E 325 025AD Z62 with 02E 325 025AD being the main part number. Just wondering if I get other 02E 325 025AD and will that work?

Thanks in advance,
Evan

Get a price on an exchange one through VW. They're significantly cheaper. They have an X at the end of the part number.

Thanks but the funny thing is, even the exchange part still isn't as cheap as buying one from overseas outright. VAG probably knew this beforehand so most other places haven't been able to supply one with this particular suffix.

from what i understand (been told by vw parts) but can't confirm is that every mechatronic is physically the same just the last digits after the part number determine what software it has
