Spare parts
Spare parts necessary for the planned repair should be obtained before starting work. Prepare a parts list, which you will need. It should be remembered not only about the directly damaged element, but also about related parts and auxiliary materials, like for example. seals, fastening rings, or lock nuts. It is worth asking your parts dealer about this. He has extensive experience in these matters.
Repairs, the size of which cannot be estimated, should be planned this way, so that you can drive to the parts shop or workshop if necessary. You should remember this, that service stations also do not always have all the spare parts and sometimes have to order them.
The technical data of the car can be found in the warranty book, on a plate in the luggage compartment in the spare wheel well and under the engine compartment cover on the left suspension strut mount socket and on the bulkhead under the windshield.
Correct selection of spare parts
Over the years, some components on the Golf have changed. Often only the year of production can be determined, which spare part is suitable for your car. You will make it easier for you and the salesperson, if you take your registration document with you and write down the data from the data plate on a piece of paper. With this information, a trained salesperson will easily find the relevant part in the catalog or on the computer. To be absolutely sure, you can take the used part with you to the store. In the case of varnishing works, also write the varnish number from the plate.
