Audi runs on ETKA (VAG)
ETKA (Elektronischer Teilekatalog) is the Volkswagen Group’s official parts database, and Audi is one of its core brands. The advantage of the group catalog is that Audi, Volkswagen, Škoda and SEAT share VAG platforms and a common numbering scheme — so one login and one workflow serve all of them. It is the same parts catalogue an Audi dealer works from, read online rather than from an installed copy.
On VINsearch, ETKA runs online: enter an Audi VIN and the catalog resolves the exact model, engine, gearbox, drivetrain and market, then shows only the parts fitted to that car.
Common Audi models
Audi’s range spans hatchbacks to large SUVs and the e-tron EV line. The models you’ll identify most often:
- Audi A3
- Audi A4
- Audi A6
- Audi Q3
- Audi Q5
- Audi Q7
- Audi A1
- Audi e-tron
Audi & VAG OEM part numbers
Audi follows the shared VAG numbering style — a three-three-three block plus a one- or two-letter index, e.g. 8W0 698 151 D (a front brake-pad set). The same logic runs across Volkswagen, Škoda and SEAT, which is why a single ETKA catalog can serve a multi-brand VAG workshop.
Numbers supersede over time; always confirm the current one against the live catalog rather than an old printout.
