Service Parts

In order to reduce the number of different parts, many service parts are only supplied as a "basic version".

Examples:

• Fenders for Golf from MY 1984 up to MY 1991 without holes for trim strips and aerial.
• Tailgate for EuroVan from MY 1991 without holes for rear wiper or interior trim.

It recommended that the workshop make its own "templates" from damaged parts for such cases.

Example tailgate for EuroVan from MY 1991 hole for rear wiper:

• Using body saw V.A.G 1523 , cut out a section of the tailgate. In doing this note distinct contours, e.g. a section with the depression for the VW emblem and the edge above the wiper hole. Remove burr from cut edge and mask with reinforced adhesive tape.

The strength of the template material must be considered when applying the template and spot drilling prior to painting the new parts.

Check new spare parts e.g. doors, hood/trunk lid or wings for transportation damage before passing to paint spraying shop. This prevents respraying when transportation or other damage is noted first when installing.
