Option codes
The option codes or PR number are unique identifiers used for certain components of the VAG group of automobiles.
They aim to make it easier and more reliable to replace important parts such as brakes or suspensions. But they also list the options with which the vehicle was equipped at the exit of the factory.
Only the main option codes are present on the identification label.
A PR code is composed of 3 characters (letters or numbers), for example "Q1D" or "L37". It corresponds to a single element of the vehicle.
Different sites allow to decode the options codes:
