Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Legislative conditions
| The manufacturer is issued with a general operating permit
(GTA in accordance with § 20 StVZO (German road traffic and
licensing regulations) and EU operating permit) for the overall
vehicle with all parts for specific conversions. |
| Conversions of wheels and tyres can only be carried out
under certain conditions. When doing this, the following points
must be observed: |
| If the size of wheel and tyre, with an indication of the
load index and the speed symbol, is included in the vehicle GTA
and EU operating permit/type approval
→ Chapter, this wheel and tyre combination can be
fitted on the vehicle without any problem. |
| It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination
specified in the registration certificate part I (certificate of
registration) to be fitted. All combinations approved in the
vehicle GTA or EU operating permit/type approval
→ Chapter may be fitted to the vehicle. |
| For the recommended conversions (see appendix for
certificate statements) there are no general operating permits
in accordance with § 22 StVZO (German road traffic and licensing
regulations). |
| Unless the wheels and/or tyres are included in the relevant
vehicle GTA or EU operating permit/type approval, the vehicle
will no longer meet the requirements of the German Vehicle
Registration Regulations (VRR). |
| These versions are based on the conditions valid in the
European Union and no guarantee can be provided for their
completeness. In some cases there are different legislative
requirements outside the European Union. |
| The tables included in the appendix for certificate
statements show the recommended wheel and tyre combination on
vehicles which have been approved by a technical inspection
authority and also the conditions to be observed. The use of
genuine disc-type wheels on a vehicle to which they have not
been allocated is not permissible. |
| The list of possible conversions deals with combinations
which meet the requirements with regards to road handling and
road safety. They are the result of practical tests and are
therefore recommended. |
| Refer also to the new vehicle registration documents that
were issued from 01.10.2005
→ Chapter. |
|
The wheel and tyre combinations and conversions listed in
the tables of the individual vehicles refer exclusively to
genuine wheel rims.
