ETKA in the browser
ETKA online: the VAG parts catalog in your browser
Open ETKA through VINsearch to look up Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT parts from a computer, tablet or phone. No local catalog installation is needed. The catalog interface is mainly in English.
Why use ETKA through a browser?
A workshop often needs the catalog at the counter and beside the car. Browser access lets you open the same service on those devices without installing a separate desktop catalog. Check the vehicle first, then follow the diagram to the part list.
An offline copy can reflect an older data release. With online access, review the current catalog entry and replacement chain instead of relying on an old invoice or a number remembered from the last repair. Catalog data does not confirm supplier stock or delivery times.
What can you check in ETKA?
ETKA organizes manufacturer parts information into groups and assembly diagrams. A diagram callout leads to an original part number, quantity and application notes. Depending on the vehicle record, equipment details and PR codes help distinguish brakes, suspension or trim variants.
Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT use shared VAG numbering. A number originating with another group brand is not automatically wrong. Confirm its listed application and full suffix; the platform prefix alone cannot establish fitment.

Can I use a phone or tablet?
