I suspect that what you have is not a "factory"/dealer book at all, but rather 
a VWoA/dealer book. VWoA sold and promoted a lot of stuff that the factory 
never saw. The dealers' time books would have included these items if VWoA 
printed them.

My definition of factory is an item that was installed on at least SOME cars AT 
THE FACTORY. In this case the item would have to appear somewhere on the VW 
parts lists, either paper or microfilm.

If your time book says printed in Germany, VWAG, then I'll have to admit that 
I'm VERY surprised, but I've never seen one, so let us know what it says.
