[saysomestuff 0]

Hi all,

 

Can someone please help me, I need to do some part cross checking for a 2004 Golf - does anyone have a version of ETKA that covers a model this new?

The dealer? :)

Yes

 

* EDIT 1 *

 

Hmmm....no. It should be covered but I'm buggered if I can see it!

 

* EDIT 2 *

 

Ahhh, there it is....yes.

My local dealer tends to get tired of those phone calls quickly - I'd rather someone a bit more sympathetic to the cause. But thanks for you incisive wit anyway guys

No need to be arsey, it was a genuine suggestion and hardly ridiculous.

 

And Mr Student seems happy to help...

lol you know i'm not being arsey Tom, well not compared to Cardiff Volkswagen's part guy after a few calls :bad-words:

 

Student can help? I'm listening...

Yeah I know fella, I know what it's like having to speak to VW stealers and a lot of the time I'd prefer to speak to someone on here and would probably trust their judgement more!

Well, I've had a go at answering the questions via PM. Can ETKA find a part description and what models it's fitted to from a part number?! If it can I haven't managed to find out how.

Thatnks BC - your answers helped me out - :cheers:

 

TBH I think it's a trial and error thing with checking if anything fits other variants - i.e. look for the same part on other models and see if it matches up.

[bcstudent 0]

I was afraid that may be the answer. I don't really have the time for that!

put the number in atp and it'll say if it is fitted elsewhere.

[saysomestuff 0]

What's atp Gav?

[h100vw 0]

A function on ETKA, lets you see where else a part is fitted if at all.

 

See screen shots on how to get to it.

wicked stuff Gav, thanks - I've got a new version on the way so should be sorted :cheers:

Does that same think exist in ETOS? What the hell is the difference between ETKA and ETOS anyway?!
