Compatibility Guide
| Make | Model / Chassis | Years | Application | Required Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen | Golf V / Mk5 • Type 1K | 2003-2008 (03-08) |
Source listing: 2.0 L | Existing number must match 1K0 915 333 C, an established replacement reference, or VIN/PR-code data must confirm compatibility. |
Important: 2003-2008 is the Golf V Type 1K model-generation bracket. This is not a blanket claim that every engine, PR-code or battery arrangement throughout those years uses the same tray.
Will Not Fit / Do Not Assume Compatibility
- Do not assume fitment to every Golf Mk5 / Type 1K solely because the vehicle has a 2.0 L engine.
- Do not purchase solely because another battery tray looks visually similar.
- Do not automatically apply this fitment to Golf V Variant / Estate models with separate Type 1KM identification.
- Do not automatically apply this listing to Golf Plus, Golf VI / Mk6, Jetta, Touran, Audi, SEAT or Skoda vehicles without catalogue confirmation.
- Do not treat a related cross-reference number as guaranteed fitment where the suffix, PR-code or mounting layout differs.
- Door count is not being used as a compatibility claim because the donor door count is not proven by the source photographs.
- Exterior facelift appearance alone is not evidence that the engine-bay battery mounting system is identical.
Critical Fitment Check Before Ordering
Buyers are strongly urged to verify compatibility using the high-resolution photographs and exact stamped part number rather than relying solely on automated item-specifics or compatibility dropdowns.
- Locate the number on your existing battery tray.
- Confirm 1K0 915 333 C or a catalogue-confirmed replacement relationship.
- Compare the mounting bosses, reinforced ribs, locating points and attached-bracket positions.
- Where there is any uncertainty, confirm compatibility from your VIN / PR-code data before purchasing.
What This Component Does
This is a structural battery tray / battery console positioned in the front engine compartment. Its role is to provide the rigid mounting foundation used to locate and support the battery assembly and associated fixing arrangement.
The component itself contains no electronic control unit and does not actively control an electrical system. Its mechanical importance is nevertheless significant: a correctly supported battery must remain securely located rather than moving under braking, acceleration, cornering or road vibration. The vehicle battery in turn supplies the starting and wider electrical systems.

VAT / Global Accounting
Where eligible, this second-hand component is supplied under the Global Accounting VAT Margin Scheme. VAT is accounted for on the applicable margin and is not separately itemised on the sales invoice. Consequently, there is no separately stated VAT amount available for the buyer to reclaim.
Returns • Please Verify Before Fitting
Incorrectly ordered or buyer-remorse returns are handled in accordance with the return terms shown on the eBay listing and applicable consumer law.
There is no automatic 50% restocking deduction merely because the wrong variant was ordered. However, if an eligible return comes back in a materially different condition – for example fitted, used beyond reasonable inspection, altered, damaged, incomplete, contaminated, missing components or inadequately packaged – and eBay makes the seller-deduction facility available, an appropriate deduction may be made to reflect the actual reduction in value, up to the maximum permitted under eBay's applicable seller-protection rules.
Help us avoid that situation: compare the stamped number and photographs before installation.
Carefully Prepared for Dispatch
Components are prepared for transport with protection focused on vulnerable mounting points, moulded edges and protruding features before dispatch.
