If parts from assemblies are also sold individually, these shall likewise be identified.Identification may only be omitted,- if the identification is technically impossible, e.g. in the case of small parts,- if the identification would impact negatively on the driving or operational safety of the vehicle.If due to space restrictions only a partial identification is possible, the following order of priority is to be observed (identifications that are not to be applied shall crossed out on the drawings):1. Logos acc. to VW 105 142. Country of origin acc. to VW 105 503. Manufacturer’s code acc. to VW 105 40-1 (VW 105 40-7)4. Part number5. Date marking acc. to VW 105 606.
