Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • How important are revisions to part numbers?

    For the collective brains trust on here

    I have a friend's car that has a "broken" coilpack.

    Part number is 04E905110L.

    Latest revision is 04E905110P which costs ~$150 each

    What is the risk in running a version that is not "current"?

    To make this question more interesting, I have in my spares crate a full set of 04E905110B, all in perfect working condition, and they are FREE. Can I use those without any real issues?

    Part number suffixes can mean anything from a change in manufacturer, a revision to an existing part, to a totally incompatible part.
    You need to check in the ETKA parts catalogue for the car in question to see if the part has a supersession part number.
    If you want to shoot me the VIN privately I can check for you.

    If the B part is compatible there isn't any reason why you can't use it.
