Help with vag part numbers

[Clark10]

Hopefully someone will know a bit about part numbers, basically I've sourced a driver side side airbag for my Cupra, the part number for the airbag I've sourced is 6Q0 880 242, but the part number of the airbag that came out of my car is 6Q3 880 242, does anyone know if this new airbag will fit ok, or even what the third number means, if anything! I think the airbag I sourced came out of a non Cupra Ibiza, it looks identical though so I'm guessing it would be ok.
Again any help is greatly appreciated!

Isn't that the same number or is the 0 just bolder from your airbag?

Them 2 numbers are the same

[Clark10]

oops, the 0 should've been a 3 in the second one.

Only number I can find to do with side airbags in all ranges of Ibizas are;

** caution! dangerous cargo ** / see workshop manual / retrofit kit to immobilize the side airbags / observe technical service handbook:

Can't see the 6Q0 880 242. But I'd know better when I get home as I got an upto date ETKA. These are a bit old. What year is the doner car and what year is your car?

That's the site that has it, first item, I rang them and they gave me the 6Q0 part number, they also have the same airbag listed as a Polo airbag. It's identical in shape to mine, just don't know whether to risk buying it or not.

Mmm
I would not
The first 3 6QO denotes the chassis number
The second 3 is where it is on ETKA and the last 3 is the specific numbers
So I would not , unless they will give you full money back , which I doubt
Sorry

I agree.... Looking on their website there is an option for Ibiza cupra 02-06 and they only list the airbag for the steering wheel. In the end this device could save your life.... I'd buy the exact part.

Their returns policy states:

"If the customer was at fault in ordering an incorrect part or goods are no longer required and if goods are returned to us in original condition within 7 days then a refund will be allowed minus a handling fee of up to 50% plus any carriage charges. Return carriage of goods must be arranged by the customer and adequate insurance is also the responsibility of the customer. We always advise that you return goods to us in a manner that requires a signature upon receipt so that there can be no dispute as to whether or not the items have been returned.

If Airbagsforsale.com was at fault we will firstly attempt to rectify by sending the correct part. If this is not possible within a reasonable timescale then provided the goods are returned to us within 7 days of agreeing that we cannot rectify the situation and the goods are still in original condition a full refund including carriage will be given. We will arrange collection of the incorrect items at no cost to the customer".

Mmm, looks like the search goes on, though I wonder where the 6Q0 part number came from, I can't find it on http://www.vagcat.com/.

how about phone your dealer ask them for the part number that fits your car and then jus get the one they tell you?

 

[Ric 2001]

He's got the part number already

That where I've been looking at... but as I say I've got an upto date ETKA at home, guess Sarah has an upto date one at work?

 

[Ric 2001]

6Q0 - mk4 golf?

 

[AwesomeSarah]

6Q0 is Ibiza and Fabia
The new Polo too IIRC
No I dont have up to date ETKA wish I had only on VW and Audi
It is just what I picked up while parts manager at a Skoda dealer
