I have just disassembled my own car’s wiper bases for cleaning and spring replacement and after cleaning found this weird number under the spring …

Anybody knows about this ? Part number? Lot number ? Any RKI out there??

Just curious

Thank you !!

I can't read it.

I think suppliers to VW used to grind off the VW logo and sometimes the part number when selling the part not directly to VW but through distribution to repair shops and non-VW parts houses. Sometimes when VW stopped ordering they would grind and sell remaining stock in the aftermarket. Have seen this on door handles, ignition and headlight switches.

Could anybody check the “L” code for the wiper bases on a VW parts manual?
