Have to replace the alarm siren on my 2006 S.

Had the siren removed the other day and the part number on it was....

1J0 951 605A......(613.VW1507 for VW - same siren)

This siren....runs about $260 at Porsche, $140 at VW.





I entered that part number in Ebay search and was happy to find a new one for $40...problem is, in looked at it closer, I see it is actually a.....


1K0 951 605C......






The are pretty much the same shape, the 1K0 has a slightly more curved backside.

I know the three connectors are usually for....

1-signal, to CCM
2-ground
3-12V fused, to CCM

Would these be the same on both sirens or is the Porsche siren (1J0 951 605A - also used in the Touareg) the only one I can use???

Well, it's on its way from China.

I guess I'll plug it in and see if it works. Will update if it does (much cheaper than other version).

Generally, VW part numbers are fairly easy to decipher and are similar to PAG & Audi's part numbering system.

The last digit of the part number usually describes the production or design modification code. "A" would designate a 1st generation part and "C" would be a 3rd gen design or production modification. If you look elsewhere on both parts, you will probably see a date code that's usually molded into the housing which also gives away the "new & improved" status of the "C" part in question.

A major modification would most likely result in new numbering of the "605" sequence of the component. (ex: 606, 607, etc...)

I bought one off amazon. worked fine. way cheaper than dealer. I very much royal pain in the *** to get to. much disassembly of the fusebox. your's might be much easier with your steering wheel and brake booster being on wrong side of car. Who knows.
