Source or part # for Rear Diffuser with hitch access?

[vw_leadfoot]

As far as I have been told it is that is was ordered (thru ECS) early February and haven't heard anything to the contrary. I find it very unlikely that this part has been discontinued...perhaps discontinued at ECS but there are many folks in Europe that'll be ordering this part...

I know for a fact I need the 433 part but it was determining exactly what the suffix meant which is what had everyone here puzzled. I am 99% sure they have ordered the correct part.

I noticed Eurohitches site is back up and if you can order the spoiler thru them they only state GRU as paintable, and they don't list the full part number. I am sure they aren't any smarter than us when in comes to part numbers so it is evident they don't know either...

It would be great if someone with a EUROPEAN connection could go to a VW dealer and get the skinny on this info...maybe they can even order it for you and ship it to North America...

Yeah, I'm just too risk adverse with the car being under a month old to sink money into a part that no one can confirm is correct.....It would certainly be great to find someone who could decipher this puzzle. Can you suggest an appropriate place on the forum to solicit for some help from a European forum member?

Thanks!

I HAVE DECIPHERED THE CODES!!! WooHoooooo

For the record ECS Tuning, screwed me over and discontinued the part after waiting 6 weeks for it...

As I stated above ETKA lists 3 possible spoilers for the MY 2010-2012, yet only one for the 2009, Part #12, 1K9 807 433B GRU. So I always assumed this was the correct part for my 2010 but was never exactly sure until now...




I have found a company in Germany that sells the parts but they only ship to European countries: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Using the accessory codes provided in ETKA, here are the differences between the three parts:

__________________________________________________ ________________
OEM Part Number 1K9 807 433 B GRU
Rameder Part ZB4774
Cutout for Dual Exhaust, like we have in North America



__________________________________________________ __________
OEM Part Number 1K9 807 433 D GRU
Rameder Part ZB5864
Cutout for Downturned Exhaust tips



__________________________________________________ __________________________
OEM Part Number 1K9 807 433 F GRU
Rameder Part ZB5865
Cutout for Single Exhaust



I am now working on getting this shipped to a forwarder in Germany, who would then ship it to Canada....and from what I have calculated it actually isn't too costly. Of course I am hoping the body shop will be picking up all associated costs....

Will keep you posted...

Nice, I'm really sorry to hear about ECS. Would have been nice if they would have let you know....I'll keep tuned in to see how the transport from Germany goes.

Good luck, and thanks for all your effort!

Actually I got an email yesterday, 5 days after I inquired, from parts4euro.com (Detroit) and they can order the part for me. This made me very happy! They gave me a shipped price to Canada of a little over $500 which I thought was pretty good and seeing that it is only one person to deal with, this route made more sense. I gave all the info to the body shop, it was approved by the insurance company today, so the part I have been told was ordered today. The new cover cap is still coming from ECS mid April. No idea on an ETA for the spoiler but if it comes by boat that'll be fine...I plan to let the body shop deal with it from here on in.

Shoot me a PM as a reminder and I'll look it up on Monday for you on my work computer that has ETKA on it...

As the Bosal isn't OEM fellow member 'karltinsly' IIRC has one installed on his 09 JSW and the hole needed to be larger than the access panel provided...I believe for the wiring...search for the thread in the other forums.

I searched and found my answer. Thanks for providing it a year ahead of time.

What does the "H" "J" "K" "G" mean at the end of the part number?

[vw_leadfoot]

I surmise: Single exhaust, dual exhaust together, split exhaust and hidden exhaust.

Verify the PR code on the Rameder website.
