If you are looking for Audi or Volkswagen parts, you may be wondering weather the two have the same parts. After all, Volkswagen and Audi vehicles are made by the same company, VAG, so it's logical to assume they would use similar parts.

The short answer is yes, a lot of parts used on both Volkswagens and Audis are the same.

Typically, this is the case with mechanical parts, and small electronics like window switches and buttons.

Parts That Are the Same Between VW and Audi

Engines are typically used between VW and Audi models, with the exception of some Audi RS models and V8 or I5 engine versions which tend to have specific engines that VW models don't. Most of the 4 cylinder stuff however, is the same.

You'll also find that a lot of suspension and drivetrain components are shared between the two. Often transmissions, especially on FWD versions, are the same across Audi and VW.

Most of the time, you will also find that wheels from an Audi will fit on a VW, and vice versa. So if you are ever in a pinch and you need a spare, you can always look to the other brand and expand your options.

Which Parts Do Audi and VW Not Share?

When it comes to parts they don't share, you will typically find that model specific parts such as body panels and exterior lights, as well as glass is usually specific to the model.

Interior parts also tend to be different, with seats, door panels and dashboards usually being specific to the particular car.
