Armrest - Colour code help?

[SeanyK]

Hey folks,

I have an R32 leather interior out of a 2008 R32, it looks a Dark Grey / Anthracite colour to me - I do not have the chassis number of the vehicle they came from.

Unfortunately, whilst I got matching leather doorcards etc, the only thing left is my armrest top is still cloth... I'd like to replace this with a leather top to make it all match, however, after thinking it would be cheaper to get it upholstered rather than buy from VW, I have since discovered otherwise!

Anyway...

Parts guy told me 'theres loads of choices'

1K0 864 245 A is my current armrest top.

The ones available that say ANTHRACITE as the colour are ending

3G2, 5AB, 6AD, 74F, 77H, 7AA

Which one is it?  

I could just do a lucky dip, but I'll clearly go for the wrong choice I reckon!

Thanks :)

I *think* the right part is;

1K0864245 A 77H

1K0864245 B 77H

But I can't see the difference, perhaps as I have an 'A' armrest already, I would go for the one ending 'A' ?

This page about part numbers may help:

This is what they say regarding the 'A' :

Frequently there will be a tenth digit after the 9 digit block which will be a letter. This refers to either the versions of this part i.e. if different models have different versions of the part, or if a part has been superseded, this letter will increase along the alphabet to indicate that a supersession has taken place.

Hi mate, no I couldn't find any on eBay uk? I found one leather cover for an R32 but i've bought one of those before and had to send it back as it was black, and just a leather cover not the top of the armrest.

I found some here;

I looked again on ebay uk and nothing mate. The funny thing was he had the armret there when I picked up your seats!!!  I tried to buy it off him but he wouldnt sell it!!

Right for future help for anyone who ever comes across this;


If you have an Anthracite (Dark grey) GTI Leather interior, you want part # 1K0 864 245B 74F

If you have an Anthracite (Dark grey) R32 leather interior, you want part # 1K0 864 245B UTV


The texture is different on the R32 leather.

Prices are the same for each part.
