Scirocco II is actually 533 as well. The first digit indicates the VW Type. 1 = Type 1 (Beetle, K Ghia, Thing and assorted Watercooled Passenger Cars). 2 = Type 2 (Buses, Vanagons, Commercial Vehicles EXCEPT Eurovan). 3 = Type 3 (Notchback, Fastback, Squareback Passenger Cars). 4 = Type 4 (411/412 "abortions"). 7 = Eurovan Here's some Vanagon specific Model Numbers: 251 = Vanagon (Basic) 253 = Vanagon Deluxe (Also Westfalia 80-85) 255 = Vanagon Deluxe (Also Westfalia 86-91) 245 = Vanagon Single Cab PU 247 = Vanagon Double Cab PU 025 is generally for the drivetrain parts (angine, trans, etc.,) for the Vanagon, but there will be exceptions to the rule. 070 is another one that's used (individual engine bearings for the waterboxer for instance). Another thing to remember is that the first 3 digits of the part number does not necessarily mean it was installed on that Type. I've run across this several times when buying and selling parts over the past 30 years. Jim Thompson 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" http://www.oldvolkshome.com oldvolkshome@earthlink.net |
