BPE 7,2-12 is an established coding system used to identify parts made by Volkswagen. The code is composed of three parts:
• The first part is BPE which stands for the German term "Bezugs-Partsen-Einheit". This is a code used to denote Volkswagen parts.
• The second part is a 7,2. This is a specific code for the type of part in question. The first number (in this case 7) denotes the parts category and the second number (in this case 2) specifies the subcategory.
• The third part is 12, which stands for the specific part number within that subcategory.
By using this coding system it is easy to identify the specific part needed to complete a repair or replacement job being done on a Volkswagen vehicle.
