Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual / Whels, Tires, Whel Alignment / Specifications for Retrofitting Wheel and Tire Combinations (Documents) / EU Type Approval Number, Sales Code and Sales or Trade Name

The Additional Descriptions Only Apply to VW Vehicles.

Since 01/01/1998, all passenger vehicles licensed for road use within the European Union must possess type approval according to EU guidelines . Vehicles licensed for road use with single-vehicle approval according to § 21 StVZO in Germany are excepted.

Therefore, the same guidelines apply to all automobile manufacturers. Consequently, international trade within the EU has been simplified.

The certificate of conformity contains the EU type approval number and detailed technical information about the vehicle such as the emissions category and all permitted wheel/tire combinations. Refer to → Chapter „Certificate of Conformity“.
