WA Auto Parts now has real used parts for the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle that was wrecked.
People can’t help but look at a red Volkswagen Beetle when they see it. It has a classic shape, a bright color, and people really love it. So when someone comes to WA Auto Parts and asks for a part, we know it will be in high demand. We’re currently destroying a 2013 Volkswagen Beetle in Tornado Red, which means we have a wide range of genuine OEM parts available at prices that are much lower than what you would pay at the dealership.
Call us at (08) 9358 1392 if you’re a Beetle owner who needs to fix something, a mechanic looking for parts for a customer, or someone who just found a good deal on a project car. We’ll tell you exactly what’s available.
This Car
The 2013 Volkswagen Beetle is part of the A5 generation, which is VW’s modern take on the original Beetle that came out in 2011. It has a lot of engine options, is well-built, and has a lot of fans. Depending on the model, the A5 Beetle came with different powertrains. The 1.2L TSI and 1.4L TSI were for people who wanted good fuel economy, the 2.0L TSI was for the Sport and Turbo models that wanted more power, and the 2.0L TDI diesel was for people who wanted to save money on long trips.
There were two types of transmissions available: a 6-speed manual and a DSG dual-clutch automatic. Both are highly regarded in the VW community. There were different trim levels, from the base model to the Sport, Sport Line, and Turbo models, each with its own set of features and interior.
The color of this car is Tornado Red, color code LP3H. This is one of VW’s most well-known and popular colors. If you have a red A5 Beetle, the body panels are very important.
Parts for the Body Available
If your Beetle has been in an accident, one of the best things you can do is get body parts from a wrecker. Real factory panels fit right, are the right thickness, and come from real cars. They aren’t made to a lower standard to save money.
You can get the following body parts from this 2013 VW Beetle wreck:
- Bumpers in the front and back
- Hood
- Doors in the front and back
- Guards on the front and back
- Back door or boot lid
- Lights in the front and back
- Mirrors on the sides (left and right)
- Wheels made of metal
Because of the Beetle’s unique curved body, it can be hard to find panels through normal channels. We can pull out exactly what we need in good shape from a full car in the yard. If a dealer or panel shop has given you a high price for a new panel, it’s definitely worth calling us first to see if we have it used.
Parts for the mechanical and drivetrain
The A5 Beetle is built on the PQ35 platform, which is the same as the Golf MK6. This means that a lot of its parts are also used in other VW Group cars. That’s good news for the availability and compatibility of parts.
From this wreck, you can get the following mechanical and drivetrain parts:
- Putting together the whole engine
- Gearbox: DSG or 6-speed manual, depending on the model
- Driveshafts
- Starter motor and alternator
- Rack for power steering
- Control arms and struts for the front suspension
- Parts of the rear suspension
- Front and rear brake calipers and rotors
Wa parts are usually well-made, but when they do need work, it can be expensive at the dealer. Getting a used alternator, power steering rack, or suspension part from WA Auto Parts can save you a lot of money on repairs without sacrificing quality. We check everything we pull before we sell it. We don’t usually give out parts that won’t work.
Parts for Specific Engines
People know that VW’s TSI and TDI engines are well-made and powerful, but some parts do wear out or break over time, and getting new ones from a dealer or importer isn’t cheap.
For the TSI gasoline models, we have engine-specific parts that include:
- Turbocharger (1.2 and 1.4 TSI)
- Spark plugs and coil packs
- Manifold for intake
- Body of the throttle
- Parts of the timing chain
- ECU for the engine
- Gaskets and a valve cover
Parts that are available for the TDI diesel model include:
- Turbocharger
- Injectors for fuel
- Intercooler and hoses that go with it
- Parts of the timing belt
- ECU for diesel EGR valve
When bought new, TDI parts in particular cost a lot to replace. If the turbo or injectors on your Beetle need work, getting them from a trusted wrecker can save you hundreds of dollars, and sometimes more. Please call us at (08) 9358 1392 with your engine code, and we’ll let you know what we have.
Parts for the inside
When you talk to a wrecker, don’t forget about the inside. If you need to replace a cracked dashboard trim, a broken window switch, a worn seat, or a dead infotainment screen, it can be expensive to do so through official channels. However, if you get genuine used parts from a Beetle of the same year, you can get your car back to factory standards without paying extra.
You can get these interior parts for a 2013 VW Beetle:
- Touchscreen unit for entertainment
- Instrument panel
- Controls on the steering wheel
- Seats in the front (for the driver and passenger)
- All four door trims and the center console
- Switches and regulators for windows
- Parts that trim the dashboard
- Sun visors, airbags, and seatbelts
The inside of the Beetle is very specific; it’s not just a generic cabin. Also, new VW parts cost more. Buying used parts from WA Auto Parts is a smart and cost-effective way to get what you need for the inside of your car. Before you agree to anything, we’ll tell you the truth about the condition.
Color Code LP3H for Tornado Red Panels
This is worth pointing out on its own. Tornado Red is one of VW’s most famous colors, and people have loved it on the Beetle since it came out. If you have a red A5 Beetle and need a new panel, you can get it from our wreck and not have to repaint it at all.
The color-coded panels that are currently available from this wreck are the bonnet, front and rear doors, front guards, and front and rear bumper covers. All of these are in Tornado Red (LP3H). In Perth’s harsh UV conditions, factory paint on a real panel will always look better and last longer than paint on a replacement panel.
These panels move fast. People really want color-matched parts for the Beetle, and Tornado Red is a popular color. Don’t wait if you need something specific; call us and get it locked in.

Compatibility: What Other Beetles Have Parts That Work With This One?
The PQ35 platform is used to make the A5 Volkswagen Beetle and the Golf MK6. This is an important detail for buyers because it means that a lot of the mechanical and suspension parts from this Beetle will work with Golf MK6 parts. This greatly increases the number of parts that can be used with it.
Important notes about compatibility:
- Suspension parts—Many of the front and rear suspension parts are the same as those on the Golf MK6.
- Brakes: Calipers and rotors are often the same as those on the Golf MK6.
- Parts for engines: TSI and TDI engines are used in many VW Group cars. Depending on the engine code, parts may work with Polo, Jetta, and other models.
- Electronics inside—more specific to each model; check before ordering
