Use the search box on the left side of our website. If the part is still
available it should come up.  If so, click on it and you may see application
data (if it is in our database).  Our site covers all VW models, not just
vans.  If the part number has letter suffixes, you can also try entering the
number without those suffixes and see what comes up.  The part you find in
that case may not be the exact application, but it may at least clue you in
to what sort of part it is and what model it may fit. 

You can also use the following section of our Resources page to decipher the
part number: <http://busdepot.com/links.jsp#NUMBERING>

Incidentally, I have been working on adding part number cross-references to
our site as well. So if you type in one part number and a different part
number comes up, it is generally a superceded number that fits the same
application. The same applies to many Bosch part numbers; in many cases
entering the Bosch number will prompt the original part number it replaces.
