Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some help with finding OE (Original Equipment) part numbers for my car. I own a 2008 Skoda Fabia 1.2, and I’m trying to ensure that I get the correct parts for maintenance and repairs.

Here are a few things I’d like advice on:

1. Where can I find reliable sources (websites, catalogs, or software) to look up OE part numbers for my car?
2. Is there a way to identify the correct parts using my car’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)?
3. Are there any Skoda-specific tools or resources that you’d recommend for this?

I’d appreciate any tips, links, or resources you could share. Also, if anyone has experience with sourcing parts for a similar car, I’d love to hear about it!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there, ive just been searching for "skoda fabia part number nomenclature" I spent 3/4 years working in the engineering department at Bentley as the go to man for parts and tools etc, the naming structure (nomenclature) of the VW system was adopted when they took over the company just after I started. The link below will get you started.

There is also a full skoda parts list which you have to pay to access, you can run a parts list by VIN number apparently from this :

I have just discovered (thank you @Breezy_Pete ) that the horn to fit my fabia was part 1K8951605B, which has been superseded by 1K0951605F. Which is interesting as the first three digits 1K8 indicate:

1K = Volkswagen Scirocco (2009 - 2014) 

8 = Coupe  from https://vagupdate.com/blog/vag-part-number-structure

 

This has been superseded by the 1K0

1K = Still VW Scirocco

0  = Not specific to LHD or RHD models

 

Things to consider here, and this comes from my years working within engineering at Bentley

This is an alarm siren, it has no reason to be handed i would say.

Also VW group will not allow engineers to create new part numbers on a whim, there is a strict part release process (3 stages in TEVON system? ) which ensures no new parts are designed when one exists already across the VW group.

Its costs many thousands of pounds to revise a BOM, Drawing, Stock holding, part number etc, so they wont do it if possible.

 

Providing the designation 1k as a VW Scirocco is correct from those other sites I am guessing that at design phase of the MK1 fabia the designers were given a packaging space within which they could use the VW Scirocco siren and told to get it fitted. Given there was no requirement to make a handed part (which in practice generally means a model specific part like a wing for example) they did exactly that upto at least Rev B on the MK2 possible later. Then along came the need to supersede the original part number to 1K0 which I am thinking means the part has been moved to another area of the BOM not specific to LHD or RHD models and will be used going forward as the standard VW alarm siren until the physical shape or function is forced to change by outside design factors.

 

good luck
