General Information
Volkswagen vehicles are designed according to high safety standards. To keep it that way, it is recommended to use only genuine Volkswagen replacement parts. These can be recognized by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. These parts are known to be reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other products on these points, even where in isolated cases they have been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official approval. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability if these products are installed.
Products from Volkswagen Original Replacement Parts and Votex Original Accessories may differ in regards to assembly requirements, tightening specifications, etc.
Always follow the respective assembly and operating instructions.
The wheel and tire combinations or retrofittings listed in the vehicle tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen original disc wheels. Release of wheel/tire combinations or retrofittings with disc wheels from the accessories trade is not possible with the enclosed parts certificate.
When assembling disc wheels by Votex Original Accessories, assembly requirements and tightening specifications may deviate from those for disc wheels by Volkswagen Original Replacement Parts.
Therefore always pay attention to tightening specifications for wheel bolts as well as respective assembly and operating instructions.
