Key Product Information
Additional Information
| FITMENT | Fits most Volkswagen alloy wheels that use the 65–66 mm front face diameter cap with ~55–56 mm inner clip (commonly used across Mk5/Mk6 platforms and many Mk7 wheels). Typical applications include Beetle, CC, Eos, Golf/GTI/Golf R, Jetta, Passat, and also many Tiguan and Touareg wheels depending on the specific wheel design. Verify by measuring your existing cap and/or checking the back-stamped number 3B7 601 171. Volkswagen Beetle (2012-2019): 1.8L GAS, 2.0L GAS, 2.0L DIESEL, 2.5L GAS Volkswagen CC (2009-2017): 2.0L GAS, 3.6L GAS (VR6) Volkswagen Eos (2007-2016): 2.0L GAS, 3.2L GAS Volkswagen GTI (2006-2014): 2.0L GAS Volkswagen Golf (2010-2014): 2.0L DIESEL, 2.5L GAS Volkswagen Golf R (2012-2013): 2.0L GAS Volkswagen Jetta (2005-2018): 1.4L FHEV, 1.4L GAS, 1.8L GAS, 1.9L DIESEL, 2.0L DIESEL, 2.0L GAS, 2.5L GAS Volkswagen Passat (2003-2010, 2012-2019): 1.8L GAS, 2.0L GAS, 2.0L DIESEL, 2.5L GAS, 2.8L GAS, 3.6L GAS, 4.0L GAS (W8) Volkswagen Phaeton (2004-2006): 4.2L GAS, 6.0L W12 GAS Volkswagen R32 (2008): 3.2L GAS |
| SYMPTOMS | Missing cap, cap won’t stay seated, or visible broken locking tabs. These caps are cosmetic; no OBD/engine fault codes apply. |
| TROUBLESHOOTING | Measure your current cap: approx. 65.5 mm (2.58 in) outer face and ~55 mm (2.17 in) inner clip. Check the molded number on the back—most genuine pieces show 3B7 601 171. Different VW wheels use different cap families (commonly 56 mm vs. 65–66 mm face); confirm by VIN, wheel part number, or measurement. |
| INSTALLATION | Clean corrosion/debris from the wheel’s center recess. Align the cap evenly and press in from the outside until all tabs snap. Do not hammer. If a cap feels loose, inspect for cracked tabs or a distorted/dirty wheel bore. |
| MAINTENANCE | |
| GENERAL NOTES | This part supersedes earlier BXF finish variants on many models. It is widely used on Mk5/Mk6 wheels; some Mk7/Mk7.5 wheels may specify the 5G0 601 171 series caps instead—check your specific wheel. |
