I haven't got ETKA completely set up here, so there may be a better list available in the software, but these lists of main and sub groups may be helpful:

OK, they only predate Vanagons by about 26 years, but IME VW doesn't tend to make gratuitous changes in part numbers.

More tips from http://failsure.net/oacdp/5054part/+06.png :

For prompt and correct supply of spare parts please note:-

1. Place orders only by use of the specified blanks. 2. Enumerate the items required in parts list sequence. 3. Prepare orders typewritten only. In cases of doubt always indicate 4. Engine and Chassis Nos. in "Remarks" column. 5. Forward sample or sketch showing measurements in case of parts not illustrated in parts list. 6. When ordering seats and/or trimmings always attach sample of the material. 7. Samples, which should be forwarded free of charge, are to be labelled indicating: a) Sender's address, b) Reference to the order, c) Engine and Chassis nos. 8. In case of orders by telephone correct supply cannot be guaranteed. 9. Directions such as front -- rear -- left -- right are to be understood in driving direction. 10. All correspondence and orders to be addressed only to:

V O L K S W A G E N W E R K G M B H. - SPARE PARTS DEPARTMENT - WOLFSBURG

(The German version of this page also includes the admonition "Avoid express forwardings, it costs you money and us additional work.")
