Quality is when things simply t.
For all those who want more: even more.
Uncompromising satisfaction.
Volkswagen Accessories.
Because genuine quality is always worthwhile.
More intelligent transport options, for instance. Or more tested safety features. Or simply more of the trusted
quality of Volkswagen Genuine Accessories. A trust which is not simply given to the genuine parts but which
has to be earned again and again, day after day. Through materials which simply combine better, product
designs which simply look better and functions which simply open up additional opportunities. In other words:
with the clear desire to make good things better every day. More beautiful, more functional and safer.
Harder, stricter, further, more - the Volkswagen test procedures go beyond the legally prescribed standards.
In terms of materials, in the laboratory and finally on the test track. Only 100% quality products are given the
Volkswagen Genuine name. No compromises.
Laboratory testing: Corrosion test in saltwater spray systems, UV resistance, environmental compatibility and
many additional laboratory tests examine all the relevant material properties. The climate chamber subjects the
products to extreme temperatures ranging from –30° Celsius to +90° Celsius. The components‘ function must be
guaranteed and unimpaired at all times.
Endurance: Whether short distances, high-speed or route profiles of varying difficulty – durability under
continuous load conditions is tested. The special road endurance test is carried out with a distance of
20,000 km using the maximum permissible load and a variety of different testing profiles.
Test track: Test drives with maximum acceleration both forwards and to the sides, for instance by weaving
around obstacles, emergency braking or over cobblestones subject the accessories to extremely hard tests
over and over again.
