Hey there everyone, my current project is a parts cross-reference resource for the Sharan / Galaxy / Alhambra. It will cover every model from it's first launch to present.

 

The purpose being so that we hopefully have more options when searching for parts for these motors.

 

I will be wading through every piece of part data possible on these 3 vehicles and compiling it alltogether in one place.

 

It should hopefully include the interchangeability of everything from a cup-holder to an exhaust system and everthing in between.

 

I NEED YOUR HELP !!

If anyone has eperience of interchanging parts between these vehicles, then please at it onto this thread.

 

I will keep you all posted with the progress.

I think you'll find that Seat part numbers are exactly the same as VW partnumbers.

Hi Carl,

 

Good luck its an ambitious project.

 

Suggest you start with the Sharan first.

 

 

Why the Sharan first ? I was going to anyway but ........

 

Because they are all basically VW Sharans...with a few little mods :huh:

 

www.vagcat.com is a useful site with an online catalogue.

With all respect, your part number cross reference would take years to compile, and when you have done so, you would probably find that the part had beed superceded so that the number you wanted was no longer valid.

Case in point is the wheel you mention. Early Galaxies were fitted with steel 6Jx15" wheels, part number 95VW-1007-ABYYCL, but this was superceded to 95VW-1007-FAYYCL when Mk2 came along and the earlier part is not available.

 

The most bizarre bit is that many parts like for example, Mk2 Galaxy headlight assemblies, that are obviously unique for the Ford derivatives still carry both a Ford AND VW part number but are not a VW/Seat part and wont fit a VW or Seat model without getting the Galaxy bonnet and radiator grille as well.

 

As Big Kev says, the VAG-Cat website is really good as an online resource, and can be invaluable when going to either Ford or VW dealers with the picture so you can show the parts desk person exactly what you need. it will also give you a pretty good idea whether what you need is available seperately or is only available as part of an assembly.

 

George.
