Subject:Not another ETKA part request
From:hunnam
Date:Tue, 19 Jul 2005 20:59:45 +1000

Greetings all.

Since my ETKA just don't want to work on my Home XP machine. I am asking
some kind soul to look up a part number for me.

I recently put some 15" Mercedes Wheels on my 91 Van.  Fit perfectly but
that's another story.  After trying all sorts of aftermarket dress rims
hubcaps I settled on a set of original VW covers  I am told they came from
either an Australian imported Golf or Passat vehicle 2000 vintage?.

The part no as stamped on the rear of the cover is 3B0 601 147 D.  Also
quite near is another stamping PA 6.6 M15.  What I like about them is the
moulded VW emblem insert on the covers

Also a quick question.  Are the metal dust caps or bearing covers that sit
on the front wheel stub axles absolutely necessary.  The reason I ask is
that these covers protrude too far out and prevent the wheel hubcaps from
fitting  snugly on the rims.  As a result I have lost one cover already on
the front wheel,

Waiting on some kind soul to reply
