ETKA by VIN — find VAG parts from the chassis number
Enter a Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT VIN and ETKA resolves the exact factory build, then shows only the genuine OEM parts that fit. Decode any VIN free, then open the full catalog online.
Why search ETKA by VIN?
A 17-character VIN is the most precise key into the catalog. The same Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT model is built in dozens of variants across markets and model years; the VIN encodes exactly which one you have. ETKA uses it to filter the entire parts tree down to the components actually fitted to that vehicle — so the brake disc, sensor or trim clip you read off is the right one the first time.
From VIN to OEM part number
- Decode the VIN free with the VIN decoder to confirm maker, year and market.
- Open ETKA online and enter the same VIN to load the exact build.
- Drill to the assembly in the exploded diagram and pick the callout.
- Read the genuine OEM number, with quantity and any supersession applied.
One VIN, every VAG brand
Because Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT share group data, a single VINsearch login lets you run VIN searches across all of them — plus 40-plus other makes. That is the multi-brand reality of a real workshop, in one place, with no software to install. Start from a $3 Day Pass.
ETKA VIN search — FAQ
How does ETKA VIN search work?
You enter the 17-character VIN and ETKA decodes it to the exact model, model year, engine, gearbox, trim and build market. It then shows only the parts fitted to that specific vehicle — eliminating the variant guesswork that causes wrong-part returns.
Is there a free ETKA VIN decoder?
Yes — our VIN decoder is free and identifies the manufacturer, country of build and model year from any VAG VIN. For the full parts breakdown (diagrams and OEM numbers), open ETKA online from $3/day.
Can I find VAG parts by VIN online?
Yes. VINsearch is a VAG parts catalog by VIN that runs online — no installation. It covers Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT, so one VIN search works across the whole group.
Why is VIN search better than searching by model?
The same model is built in many variants across markets and years. Searching by model shows everything that might fit; VIN search shows only what actually fits the car in front of you, which is faster and far more accurate.
What if my VIN is not recognised?
Most VAG VINs resolve cleanly. If a VIN looks unusual, run it through the free VIN decoder to confirm the manufacturer and year, then use ETKA online — VINsearch support can help with edge cases.
