ETKA SEAT — the SEAT parts catalog online
Updated 2026-10-01
SEAT and Cupra models share VAG platforms and ETKA part data. Open it in your browser, enter a VIN, and read genuine SEAT (SEAT) OEM part numbers and exploded diagrams — no download, instant access.
SEAT parts by VIN
SEAT has built parts across many platforms, engines and markets since 1950. The 17-character VIN is what makes catalog lookups exact: ETKA decodes it to the precise model, engine, gearbox, trim and build market, then shows only the parts fitted to that car. That precision is what stops wrong-part returns on multi-variant SEAT models.
How ETKA reads a SEAT or Cupra VIN
SEAT and Cupra resolve through the same catalog data. Enter the VIN and ETKA returns the exact build — a Leon or a Formentor, its engine and gearbox codes, market and equipment — then filters the diagrams to it. Since Cupra became a standalone brand in 2018 the badges have diverged, but the catalog basis is shared, so a Cupra VIN behaves exactly like a SEAT one at the parts desk.
Platform prefixes on SEAT numbers
SEAT numbers follow the shared VAG scheme: 5F0 parts belong to the Leon III family, and models on shared platforms carry the platform’s numbers regardless of badge — an Ibiza on MQB-A0 shares parts and numbers with the Polo, an Ateca with the Karoq and Tiguan family. The first group tells you the platform, the middle group the assembly area, and the trailing index letters the revision.
Equipment variants and the data sticker
Like the rest of the group, SEAT splits brake, suspension and trim variants by PR code within a single model year. The data sticker (boot floor or spare-wheel well, repeated in the service booklet) lists the codes fitted to this exact car; when the catalog offers two variants, the sticker decides. Exchange units carry an X suffix and a core deposit; primed body parts carry GRU.
Common SEAT models covered
You can identify parts for the full SEAT range. The nameplates you will look up most often include:
- SEAT Leon
- SEAT Ibiza
- SEAT Ateca
- SEAT Arona
SEAT OEM part numbers
SEAT shares the Volkswagen Group numbering style — for example 5F0 807 221 A (Shared VAG 3-3-3 + index (e.g. 5F0 807 221 A)). Because numbers supersede over time, always confirm the current part against the live catalog rather than an old box or printout. Not sure of the build?

ETKA SEAT — FAQ
Is ETK the same as ETKA?
No. Both abbreviate Elektronischer Teilekatalog, which is why the two get swapped constantly. ETKA is the Volkswagen Group catalog that covers SEAT; ETK is BMW Group's, covering BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce. A search for “ETK SEAT” means this catalog.
Is there an ETKA SEAT parts catalog online?
Yes. VINsearch provides the SEAT parts catalog online via ETKA — it runs in your browser with no download. Enter a SEAT VIN to get the exact build with genuine OEM numbers and exploded diagrams.
Can I find SEAT parts by VIN?
Yes — VIN search is the core of it. The 17-character VIN resolves the exact SEAT model, engine, trim and market, so you only see the parts that fit. Decode any VIN free first with our VIN decoder.
What does the SEAT catalog cost?
One VINsearch plan opens SEAT and the rest of the 53 catalogs: a $5 Day Pass, $50/month, or $500/year (about $1.37/day). No per-search fees.
Do I need to install ETKA software?
No. ETKA runs online here — there is nothing to install, no Windows requirement and no dongle. It works on any device and stays up to date automatically.
