Volkswagen T4 Transporter 1990-2003 Rear Badge

Description

The rear badge is a chrome VW emblem for the rear door of the Volkswagen Transporter T4 (1990–2003): diameter 10.8 cm, ABS plastic with a chrome coating, mounting in the factory locations on pins without glue. The page has two versions from the same manufacturer Davs Auto (Turkey): “Original” — replicates the factory emblem with three pins at a 2.5 cm spacing, and “Turkey” — a simpler version of the same diameter.

How the “Original” and “Turkey” versions differ

Both versions are copies of the factory emblem, not a part from the Volkswagen plant: “Original” in the name means a repeat of the original geometry and mounting. In the photo — an emblem with a chrome logo on a black background and a black ring around the perimeter.

How to check that the badge will fit your T4

• Measure the old emblem. The full outer diameter including the ring should be 10.8 cm; a badge of a smaller or larger size will not cover the old mounting area.
• Count the pins and holes. The “Original” version has three pins with a 2.5 cm spacing — the rear door must have three holes with the same spacing. If the rear emblem was once glued on and there are no holes, a pin-mounted badge will not fit without modification.
• Rear door type. The T4 was produced with a lift-up tailgate and with two-piece swing doors; the emblem mounting area can differ between them. If you are unsure — send the manager a photo of the old emblem and its back side.

How to replace the rear emblem

The old emblem is carefully pried up and pulled off the pins, the mounting area is cleaned from dirt and remnants of old seals, after which the new badge is inserted with the pins into the holes and pressed until it locks. No drilling or gluing is needed — this is exactly “installation in the factory locations”. Keep glossy chrome away from abrasive chemicals at the car wash.

Front and rear T4 badges are not the same

The front T4 emblem depends on the front end: for the “slanted” hood with slanted headlights and for the “straight” one with square headlights it differs in size and mounting, while the rear badge does not depend on the front end. Front emblems are separate products: front badge (complete) with versions for slanted and straight hood and front badge top piece 1J0 853 601 for a slanted hood. All emblems for this body are in the Volkswagen T4 badges section, the rest of the tuning is on the Volkswagen T4 Transporter 1990–2003 page.
