OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi alloy wheel center cap, part number 3B7-601-171-XRW. This fixed Volkswagen emblem cap finishes the center opening of a matching factory or accessory alloy wheel. It restores the wheel's original appearance while the molded retaining features secure the cap in the specified center opening.

Common reasons to replace
A lost cap, cracked housing or damaged retaining tabs can leave the wheel center unfinished or prevent a replacement from staying securely seated. Scratched, discolored or peeling emblem surfaces may also prompt replacement when restoring the appearance of the wheels.
If a cap repeatedly loosens, inspect the installed wheel and its center opening. An incorrect cap, damage to the wheel's retaining surface or an aftermarket wheel with a different opening can prevent a secure fit. Replacing a cap alone will not correct a damaged wheel or make an incompatible wheel accept the factory part.
Installation and service notes
Wheel identity is the deciding fitment information. Confirm the wheel part number and the cap number assigned to it before ordering, even when the vehicle model and year appear in the table below. Wheels may have been replaced or changed from the vehicle's original equipment, and different wheel designs for the same model can use different caps.
Inspect and clean the mounting opening without damaging its finish. Use the specified removal method for the installed wheel, then align the new cap and seat it evenly without forcing the retaining tabs. Verify that the cap sits flush and remains firmly retained. This cap is separate from wheel bolts, hub hardware and tire-pressure components.
