Volkswagen Sharan · 1997-2015
Used VW Sharan Spares & Parts
The full-size seven-seat MPV — the one families bought before everyone moved to SUVs. Mk1 shared its platform with the Ford Galaxy and Seat Alhambra, so many of its parts interchange; Mk2 brought powered sliding doors and a much longer parts list.
VW Sharan parts in South Africa
The Sharan is the forgotten people carrier, and forgotten is exactly why sourcing for one takes a network. Mk1 cars from the late nineties and 2000s were built alongside the Ford Galaxy and Seat Alhambra on a shared platform, which is the single most useful fact for anyone hunting parts — a great many mechanical and structural components interchange between the three, widening the donor pool considerably. Typical Mk1 enquiries are AWC 1.8T turbochargers, 1.9 TDI injection and turbo parts, gearboxes, front suspension arms and the removable second- and third-row seats that so many owners have thrown away. The Mk2 7N is a more modern proposition with 1.4 TSI and 2.0 TDI power shared with Passat and Tiguan, and it introduces the electric sliding door motors and control units that fail with age and top the Mk2 request list. Roof-lining, rear climate units and the long side panels are the awkward items. Give us the generation and the seat count.

Popular Sharan parts
Tell us the part and your VIN and we’ll come back with what we have and what it costs.
Gearboxes
Category browse view for VW manual gearboxes — the full buying page is at /gearboxes-for-sale/. 02J, 02T, 0A4 and MQ200 boxes off Golf, Polo, Jetta and Caddy. A good used box selects cleanly into every gear cold and shows no play in the input shaft.
Turbochargers
Category browse view for VW turbos — full buying detail sits at /turbochargers-for-sale/. KKK and Garrett units off TSI and TDI engines. Check shaft play by hand before fitting: any side-to-side movement in the compressor wheel means the bearings are already on the way out.
Doors
Browse all VW doors in stock, shells and complete units. A complete door with glass, regulator, lock and trim already inside is usually the cheaper route once you price those parts separately, and we list the colour code on every shell.
Radiators
Engine radiators for petrol and diesel VWs, with and without the aircon condenser attached. Stone damage to the core and split plastic end tanks are the two failures we see most, and we pressure-check every radiator before it goes out.
Headlights
Halogen and LED headlight units, left and right. We check the lens for hazing and the mounting tabs for cracks before quoting, because a lamp with broken lugs will never sit flush no matter how good the glass looks in the photo.
Alternators
Alternators from 90A to 180A output, including the regulated units on start-stop models. A battery light with a low charging voltage is normally the regulator rather than the whole alternator, but a tested used unit gets the car back on the road same day.
