Which quality levels has Volkswagen Classic Parts and how are they marked?

Genuine Volkswagen Quality

Genuine Volkswagen Quality
Original is ideal. That is why 90% of our selection are former Volkswagen Original Parts. They were manufactured following strict Volkswagen Quality guidelines. They can be identified by the engrained VW-Badge, the part-number and the nostalgic original packaging. Some classic cars enthusiasts call this „New Old Stock“ or „NOS Parts“ - coming from old stocks and never being used before.

Genuine Reproduction Quality

Genuine Remanufactored Quality
To make sure your classic car will always be in good shape we remanufacture highly demanded parts. All in perfect original quality because our provider works following the Volkswagen factory’s specifications often by using the original tools. That makes us able to offer thousands of new parts in perfect original quality.

Original Equipment Quality

Original Equipment Quality
Wear part in particular like tooth- or fan belts and components regarding the brake are constantly completed in our assortment by well proven partners who are or were dealers of initial-equipment. They are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Since these spare parts are strictly checked they are delivered by us using the unopened original manufacturers packaging.

Aftermarket Quality

Aftermarket Quality
Even if original or initial-equipment spare parts are not available anymore we make sure to help you with the part you need. We have the best quality in offer taken out of other outlets. Here again we send these parts in the original providers packaging to show our transparency.

Does Volkswagen Classic Parts supply literature?
Reprints of historical brochures or manuals are not available at the moment. You can request copies of selected documents at Volkswagen Heritage (history@volkswagen.de). Repair manuals, parts catalogues and more information on these topics can be found on our website:
www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/en/service

 

What is the Volkswagen Certificate?
The Volkswagen Certificate confirms the delivery status of your car. It contains detailed information on the type, the engine/gearbox assembly, colour, interior and optional equipment of your Volkswagen at the time when it once left the factory. Moreover, it states the production and delivery dates as well as the country of destination.

What is the Volkswagen Data Sheet?
The Volkswagen Data Sheet features technical data of your car, for example measurements and weights or engine specifications. This documentation can be helpful to request new papers for a classic car or for the first registration of an imported vehicle. The Volkswagen Data Sheet can be used as a basic information for different kinds of vehicle inspection as well as for submission to registration offices or other authorities. However, it does not replace official documents like the Certificate of Conformity (COC). These can be ordered at the Volkswagen importer of your country of residence or via Volkswagen Logistics:
COC ordering service

For which vehicles can I order the documents?
The Volkswagen Certificate and the Volkswagen Data Sheet are official documents which Volkswagen Classic Parts issues on behalf of the Volkswagen Group for the entire model range of Volkswagen and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The only condition: the car has to be at least 15 years old. Depending on the date of the first registration, the documents can be ordered for a 1949 Beetle as well as for a 2004 T5 Bus. However, we are not allowed to issue them for younger models.

How long does the issue of the documents take?
Usually, the creation of a Volkswagen Certificate or Volkswagen Data Sheet should not require more than 14 days. The individual waiting time depends on the amount of research that is necessary to find out the correct data. Especially for vintage cars, high manual efforts are inevitable.

Which data is needed to issue the documents?
Ordering a Volkswagen Certificate or Volkswagen Data Sheet, you have therefore to submit the following information:

  1. Legitimation (confirmation of data and ownership of the car)
  2. Language version (English or German)
  3. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
  4. Engine number (optional)
  5. Model name (e.g. VW 411 L or Golf Mk2 GTI)

Who is allowed to order the documents?
The sensitive use of all vehicle data is important because it must not fall into the wrong hands. For security reasons, the Volkswagen Certificate and the Volkswagen Data Sheet may be ordered for each and every car only by its owner.

Can I return a Volkswagen Certificate or Volkswagen Data Sheet?
As the documents are personalized goods, they are non-returnable.

Can I complain a Volkswagen Certificate or Volkswagen Data Sheet?
A complaint is possible of course within legislative requirements and indicating a reason for rejection (e.g. missing data, typo, damage).

What will happen if there is no data for my car?
In particular cases, there is no archive file for your car – for example for some foreign produced models. If so, the issue of a Volkswagen Certifictate or Volkswagen Data Sheet is not possible and you will get your money back.

What will happen if a code cannot be decrypted?
As Volkswagen has produced more than 100 million cars and as some codes have been used repeatedly, some of them cannot be clearly decrypted today. If so, the Volkswagen Certifictate will only contain the code without further information on the encoded colour, interior or optional equipment.

How can I be sure that my car still has its original engine?
Classic cars with so-called matching numbers are particularly sought-after. Hence, we are able to verify the original engine number of your Volkswagen. While ordering a Volkswagen Certificate or Data Sheet, you have the opportunity to submit the engine number of the power train currently installed. We will then certify whether it is the original engine or not. For security reasons, we are not allowed to communicate the original engine code in other cases.

Can I order certificates or data sheets for other cars made by the Volkswagen Group?
You can order documents for Volkswagen and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles via the Volkswagen Classic Parts Shop. Audi Tradition, Porsche Classic and the Skoda Auto Archive issue similar documents for Audi, Porsche and Skoda vehicles.
