FYI

Middle digit 906 is in the electrical section, but is more specifically
Fuel Injection Electronics.  133 is specifically Mechanical Fuel Injection
items.

A more accurate prefix list for models:

811  Quantum
823  VW/Audi crossover for most inline Watercooled Models

There have been rare instances when:

1.  VW would supersede a later suffix back to an earlier one or drop it
altogether.

2.  VW would actually modify a part but not supersede to a newer number
and/or add a suffix.  A good example is the Brake/Clutch Pedal Pad 311 721
173 A.  Earlier versions were the more well-known rounded rectangular
version.  In the late 70s, it was replaced with wedge-shaped version with
the horizontal ridge lines commonly seen on Vanagons.

There have been many instances where I have found several VW Mexico numbers
are identical to the German/USA counterpart.  Example is the Bus 76-79 &
Vanagon Interior Light Mexico BAA 947 105 is the same as German/USA 823 947
105 B.
