Luk Audi, Seat, Volkswagen, BMW, FERRARI 2008 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a power steering pump for a B5 Audi A4 and got the wrong one because the aftermarket listing had three different possibilities and zero clarity, you already know why this catalog matters. I’m Mike Callahan. Twenty-eight years turning wrenches in San Antonio, and I’ve scraped enough mislabeled aftermarket data off my bench to be picky about what I trust. This is the real deal – a Luk Audi, Seat, Volkswagen, BMW, FERRARI 2008 Parts Catalog, straight from the OE supplier. Not a reprint, not a scanned PDF some guy cobbled together from a 2003 Chilton book. This is the factory-published document Luk used to distribute to dealers and distributors. 63 pages, dated 2008, covering hydraulic power steering pumps for the brands that matter on a Euro specialty lift.

What You’re Getting: 63 Pages of Factory Spec

You open this catalog and the first thing you hit is “Bevor Sie starten” – Before Starting – on page 2. That section tells you how the catalog is laid out, what the symbols mean, and how to read the part numbers. If you skip that, you’ll waste time flipping back and forth. Page 5 lists every symbol and abbreviation used in the catalog. In a real shop, you don’t have daylight to waste decoding icons. Take five minutes and read those two pages. It’s the difference between pulling the right pump off the shelf and having to restock a wrong one.

Then comes the meat: hydraulic power steering pump listings broken down by manufacturer. Audi starts on page 11, BMW immediately after on the same page, Ferrari on page 13, Ford and Honda on page 14, then Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Puch, Seat on page 53, and Volkswagen also on page 53. Each entry includes the application, the pump type code from the Codificación de tipos section on page 6, and the LuK part number. No vague “fits 1998-2004” nonsense. You get the exact model years, engine codes, and sometimes even the pump output pressure range.

Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Volkswagen, Seat – One Catalog

Working on European cars means you deal with a mess of brands. Audi, Seat, Volkswagen, BMW, and FERRARI are all covered in this single 63-page volume. For example, if you’re chasing a whining pump on a 2005 VW Passat 2.0T, you flip to the Volkswagen section, match the engine code and build date, and you get the LuK p/n. No call to the dealer, no playing the “let me cross-reference three aftermarket websites” game. Same for a 1998 BMW E39 528i – page 11. A 2008 Ferrari F430? Page 13. Having all those brands in one book means less clutter on your desk and fewer chances to grab the wrong book.

How to Use This Catalog Right

Don’t treat this like a repair manual – it’s a parts catalog. That means you need your VIN, engine code, and build date before you open it. The “So verwenden Sie den Katalog richtig” page explains the table format: columns for model, production period, displacement, engine code, and then the LuK part number and OE reference. You match row to row. If your car isn’t listed, double-check the production date – some pumps changed mid-year. Also note the symbol key on page 5: a little triangle with an exclamation mark means “this part requires special installation tools.” Pay attention to that.

Symbols and Abbreviations – Don’t Skip This Section

I know, I sound like a broken record. But the number of times I’ve seen a guy install a pump with the wrong fitting because he didn’t look at the symbol for “left-hand thread” is embarrassing. Page 5 lists every symbol and abbreviation used across the entire catalog in four languages: German, English, French, and Spanish. The English symbols include “AT” for automatic transmission, “MT” for manual, “E” for electric, “H” for hydraulic. Memorize the handful you need and move on.

OE References: The Cross-Reference Tool You Need

The back section of the catalog is the OE references – a massive list that cross-references the original manufacturer part numbers (like Audi, BMW, Volkswagen) to the LuK replacement number. This is gold for shops that get a car with an original pump still in the box, stamped with a VAG number. Look it up in the OE list, get the LuK part number, and you know you’re ordering the correct replacement. No returns, no delays. That section alone is worth the price of the catalog, because it saves you the five trips to the parts store that usually happen when you play the aftermarket guessing game.

Who Should Buy This Catalog

Home garage guys who work on their own European cars and hate buying the wrong part. DIYers who want to verify before they click “add to cart.” Small shops that service a mix of Audi, VW, Seat, BMW, and Ferrari cars and need a single-source parts reference for the power steering system. This is not a repair manual – you won’t find torque specs or disassembly steps here. It’s a parts identification catalog. If you need a LuK part number for a hydraulic steering pump on a 2004 Seat Leon, this is exactly the tool you need.

Where This Catalog Came From

This is a genuine LuK factory publication, not a third-party rehash. The file name itself – LuK_AUDI-BMW-FERRARI-FORD-HONDA_2008_Parts_Catalog_de-en-fr-es-63814017218.pdf – tells you it came from Schaeffler Aftermarket, the parent company. No aftermarket “copy” from a site that scrapes web data. You get the original layout, the original language choices, the original OE references. When you need to verify a part number for a customer’s Ferrari, you want the real thing. For context on the automotive aftermarket ecosystem, see Automotive Industry Overview”>Automotive Industry Overview or Automotive Battery”>Automotive Battery. But for this specific job, you want the catalog in your hands.

Does this catalog include repair instructions or torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists LuK part numbers for hydraulic power steering pumps and gives OE cross-references. You need a separate workshop manual for assembly and torque data.

What languages are in the 2008 edition?

German, English, French, and Spanish. The catalog is bilingual in layout – each page has four columns or sections for each language. Page 2 and the introduction pages are fully translated. The actual pump listings are mostly tables with universal symbols, so language barrier is minimal.

If you are tired of chasing wrong parts and want a single reference that covers Audi, Seat, Volkswagen, BMW, and Ferrari hydraulic steering pumps from 2008, this catalog is it. 63 pages, factory data, OE cross-references. No fluff, no guesswork. Access the Factory Manual and start identifying parts the right way.
