no. check the P# using 1stvwparts.com

[EuroBurner GLI]

1stvwparts wouldnt sell anything complex enough to involve using ETKA. There are major components that arent supplied by 1stvwparts that the european etka wouldnt be any help with. I have a copy of ETKA 6.0 which I aquired while working as a VW parts specialist, but without a hardlock it's worthless.

I don't think that 1stvwparts gives out the part numbers online when you order. I don't recall seeing specific part numbers, unless you supply them.

sure.
i meant that the guy can take the part number from that russian etka catalogue and paste into part number search on 1stvwparts.com
if the part comes up in the search it is available in the us.

good for you. why are you asking then? compare your copy with that russian etka website. you can probably download the whole website to your hard drive and write a perl script to thoroughly compare it with your etka.

I can tell you it is an old ETKA copy. It doesn't include the Touareg Individual parts. Those are on more recent copies of ETKA.

I've <cough> heard there are ways around the hardlock...

[evansussman]

Just came across this thread while browsing.. First time I heard the parts catalog referred to as "ETKA" Did a search for it on a torrent site I use, and ETKA 7.0 came up. I'm downloading it, and I'll let people know when it's done. About 1.1 Gb though, and I'm on ****ty DSL, so...

[srvfan84]

I'm sure you can install it w/o problems, but it requires a "hardlock" to actually run. There is supposedly a crack, but I'm not sure where you'd get it from, nor would I trust the sites that would house such a crack.

I've found that you can also call a dealer about a certain part and they will email/fax you the illustrations from the ETKA.

You can always ask for a part and when they give you the price, say "I'll have to think about it, can you give me the part number as a reference for when I call back?" That works too.

If you need any help with part numbers, let me know. I will help as much as I can.

[evansussman]

Hi again,

Just wanted to get back to everybody. I finally got a hold of a computer with windoze to try the ETKA I'd downloaded, and it works perfectly. I didn't require a crack, but I'm pretty sure the release I downloaded had already been cracked. Cause I'm not having any hardlock problems. So just thought I'd let peoples know. It's out there.

[OEMplus.com]

If anyone wants to send part numbers over for pricing, we import special-order stuff from Germany all the time...

[Theresias]

The problem with that website in the 1st post is IMHO that it is neither current nor authorized by VW/Audi. In case you want a real parts catalog...

Nice catalog, what does it cost?

According to the registration process, if you select that you are from the USA, it is free but you only have access to the USA catalogs. If you select you are from Germany, it costs €29.75/month or €5.95/24 hours and have access to all catalogs.

[VegasMatt]

I love how it's supposedly free for the US catalogs, yet they still want credit card info.

But it is very out of date. Only goes up to 2005 Touareg. That is 3 years! I guess that is OK for a Scirocco owner.
