Volkswagen Crafter Indicator Stalk Replacement Parts

The Volkswagen Crafter runs in two main generations: the first-generation (Mk1) ran from 2006 to 2016, and the second-generation (Mk2) launched in 2017 onwards. Indicator stalks are generally specific to each generation, so a stalk from a 2006–2016 Crafter should be sought from that same generation, and likewise for 2017-onwards vehicles. Always confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

This question spans the Mk1-to-Mk2 generation boundary (Mk1 2006–2016, Mk2 2017 onwards), and the two generations use different steering column assemblies and stalk designs. It is very unlikely a 2014 Mk1 stalk will be a direct fit on a 2018 Mk2 vehicle. Confirm compatibility with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.

Both a 2010 and a 2015 Crafter sit within the same Mk1 generation (2006–2016), so there is a reasonable chance the stalks are compatible, but minor running changes can occur across a production run of that length. Check the part numbers with the breaker against your specific registration to confirm before buying.

Trim level does not affect indicator stalk fitment on the Crafter — the stalk is determined by generation, not whether the van is a base, Startline, Trendline, or Highline trim. You may find small cosmetic differences such as finish or button texture between stalks sourced from different trim levels, but the fitment itself should not be affected. Confirm with the breaker against your registration all the same.

Although both are Volkswagen commercial vehicles, the Crafter and Transporter use different platforms and steering column assemblies, so a Transporter stalk is not a straightforward swap onto a Crafter. Do not assume cross-model compatibility even within the VW range. Ask the breaker to check the specific part number against your Crafter's registration before ordering.

The indicator stalk is typically mounted on the same side of the steering column regardless of whether the vehicle is left- or right-hand drive, but the stalk assembly itself can vary between LHD and RHD vehicles due to differences in the steering column configuration. Because the Crafter was sold in both LHD and RHD markets, it is worth confirming with the breaker that the stalk they have came from a UK right-hand-drive vehicle to match your own.
