Clutch Assembly Part Numbers

[bfleck]

Where can I find the part numbers for the autostick clutch assembly parts (ball bearing, needle bearing, various seals)?  The Bentley manual does a great job of showing all the parts, but I can't find the part numbers anywhere and this would greatly simplify my search.  I have a 69 bug AS.

Hiya bfleck,

When I need to track down specific parts numbers I ask somebody who has an EKTA CD.  Basically, this is a collection of VW part numbers (from all their models - and I believe Audi is included).  I just jump into one of the other VW forums (like The Samba) and post asking for the numbers.  I usually get a fairly quick response.  Actually, I suppose I should invest about $20 and buy the CD myself.  But this way, it's free.

But where does one find such a CD?  I did quick a search on ebay and google and found no places to buy the CD.

Hiya bfleck,

The reason you didn't turn up anything in your search is because that fool Bookwus made a glaring typo in his last post.  It should have been ETKA, not EKTA.  Try ETKA and you'll find an eBay auction for one going on right now.

I went to the VW dealership ttis morn and they kindly printed out the necessary pages from their ETKA for me.  HOWEVER, it should be noted that if a part is discontinued, their version of the ETKA doesn't include the p/n...it will just say "...no longer available".  What a bummer. My suspicion is that a bootleg ETKA will be no better.
