ETKA Explained: The VW Group Parts Catalog
ETKA (Elektronischer Teilekatalog) is the official electronic parts catalog of the Volkswagen Group. If you service VW, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, Cupra or related marques, ETKA is the authoritative source for genuine part numbers.
What ETKA covers
ETKA spans the whole VW Group line-up, mapping each vehicle to its exact build by VIN:
- Volkswagen — Golf, Passat, Polo, Tiguan, Transporter and more
- Audi — A3, A4, A6, Q5, Q7 and the full range
- Škoda — Octavia, Fabia, Superb, Kodiaq
- SEAT / Cupra — Leon, Ibiza, Ateca, Formentor
Why professionals use it
VW Group platforms share components across brands but with build-specific differences. ETKA resolves the VIN to the precise variant, so you order the part that actually fits — not a generic family match. Supersessions are kept current, which matters across the group's long model lifecycles.
Accessing ETKA online
Traditionally ETKA was installed dealer software. Through VINsearch you access the same data in the browser — no install, no dealer credentials — alongside 47+ other brand catalogs.
