OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi 000-071-213-C dynamic wheel center caps combine the Volkswagen emblem with a self-leveling mechanism that allows the logo to remain upright as the wheel rotates. This listing is a set of four for compatible factory wheels.
Technical details
- OEM part number: 000-071-213-C.
- Quantity supplied: four dynamic center caps.
- Wheel compatibility requirement: factory wheels originally using center cap 5G0-601-171-XQI.
- The cap fits the wheel's center-cap opening; it is not selected by the vehicle's wheel-bolt pattern alone.
Common reasons to replace
Replace a cap that is missing, has damaged retaining features, no longer stays securely seated, or has a damaged emblem or finish. Replacement is also appropriate if inspection confirms that a cap's self-leveling mechanism binds or stops moving correctly. A complete set can restore a consistent appearance when individual caps have been lost or mismatched.
Confirm the original cap number and wheel application before ordering, particularly if the vehicle has aftermarket wheels or wheels transferred from another model. A cap with the wrong mounting size will not fit securely even when the vehicle appears in the table. Remove the old caps and seat the replacements without damaging their retaining features. Any wheel shown in a reference photo is not included.
Fitment
For compatible factory wheels originally using center cap 5G0-601-171-XQI. Model and year alone do not establish wheel compatibility; verify the original center cap before ordering.

Wheel Selection and Service Notes
Choose these caps by the original center-cap number and wheel opening, rather than engine size, transmission or bolt pattern. A vehicle listed above may have several wheel designs, and a previously changed wheel can use a different cap. Inspect the original cap identification and retaining arrangement before ordering.
The moving emblem assembly is separate from the wheel itself. A missing cap, damaged retaining tabs, a scratched emblem or a self-leveling assembly that binds can justify replacement after inspection. These caps do not repair a bent wheel, wheel-bearing noise or a tire vibration. Check those symptoms separately if present.
This product supplies a complete set of four caps. Ensure every replacement seats fully and its retaining features are undamaged. Follow the wheel-specific removal procedure to avoid marking the wheel finish or breaking the cap clips; inspect the opening for damage if a cap repeatedly comes loose.
