So hopefully someone here can help me with something regarding part numbers. When looking at suffixes, what does "U" mean? In the example below the "X" means remanufactured, according to some places online.
5Q1 423 055 K - Steering rack
5Q1 423 055 KX - Same steering rack, remanufactured, purchased from VW
I'm specifically looking at MIB 2.5 main units, base part number 5NA 035 026... which has PR codesER8 (edit, ER3) - Regional Code NAR Radio, and QU8 - Satellite Radio USA (SiriusXM)
5NA 035 026 - no suffix, currently the only thing showing on parts.vw.com
5NA 035 026 D - used to show on parts.vw.com (maybe a year ago)
5NA 035 026 E - also used to show on parts.vw.com (maybe 6-7 months ago, based on some scans the E the software number, Hardware showed 5NA 035 026 with no suffix
Now, there are several units with various suffixes (A, B, C, D, E) which I assume to be the progression of software. But there are are also suffixes AU, AX, BU and BX. If this is like the steering rack, the X means remanufactured. So then what does the U mean?
The X's are cheaper than their base suffix part number, but the U's are crazy cheap...
5NA 035 026 A - $2,172.05
5NA 035 026 AX - 1,275.01
5NA 035 026 AU - $350
Does VW sell as-is parts, to be used for parts?
