Why buy genuine parts?

Volkswagen Genuine Parts® are designed and engineered by the vehicle manufacturer, they are what your Volkswagen was built with on the production line and as such are the only way to ensure that your Volkswagen performs and protects you as designed.

The non-Genuine Parts® are known as aftermarket parts – these parts are not the same as our Genuine Parts®. Genuine Parts® are produced under Volkswagen AG’s Formula Q quality assurance program. Any parts manufacturer producing parts used in the production of your Volkswagen must be manufactured according to Formula Q’s stringent quality guidelines, these manufacturers can and do produce pattern or similar parts for your Volkswagen, but as they are not Genuine Parts® and do not carry our logos, you cannot be assured that they are of the same quality and will perform the same as Genuine Parts®

Volkswagen Genuine Parts® are the factory originals – so you can be confident that your purchase of Genuine Parts® is the best thing for your vehicle.

Genuine Parts® provide the perfect fit and meet Formula Q quality standards
Since they fit so precisely, installation times are reduced to a minimum
They’re designed to provide optimal safety, performance, and fuel economy
Quality parts need to be replaced less often, saving you money over the lifetime of your vehicle

When it comes down to it, you’ve made an investment in a highly engineered vehicle for a reason. Keep that vehicle as its engineers intended, and ensure your Volkswagen remains a Volkswagen.

Crash Testing Non-Genuine vs. Genuine Parts®

Volkswagen arranged an independent crash test of a Golf VII to compare Genuine Parts® versus non-genuine IAM (Independent After Market) parts. Both vehicles were put through a simulated crash at 15km/h, each vehicle was then repaired, one with non-genuine and the other with Genuine Parts®. Once the repairs were completed they were subjected to the exact same crash simulation.

The results speak for themselves.

Calculation of the needed repairs following the tests showed that the Golf fitted with non-genuine parts would cost three times higher to repair than the Golf repaired with Genuine Parts®.

The most obvious outcome isn’t the cost to repair after a subsequent crash, but just how much damage occured and what the vehicle had to do to protect the occupant. If this is how a Volkswagen Golf VII, repaired with non-genuine parts performed during a crash at just 15 km/h, how do you think it would have performed at 50km/h? Or 100km/h?

Volkswagen Economy Brake Pads vs. the competition

Volkswagen Economy Parts are offered exclusively for Volkswagen vehicles that are five years or older. To compare quality, Volkswagen tested their own Economy brake pads against “equivalent” brake pads available from aftermarket competitors.

In each test, the Volkswagen Economy brake pad proved to be lower wearing and higher performing, with consistent braking behaviour. Side effects of poor performing brake pads can include braking noise, unpleasant odours, vibration, and inadequate brake pedal feel, and most importantly as Economy Parts are subject to the same stringent Formula Q quality assurance program and normal Genuine Parts®, your vehicles driver assistance and emergency systems (ABS, ESC, AEB) will perform as designed by the factory.

If you’re concerned with costs but don’t want to compromise your Volkswagen’s quality, get in touch with our team.
