VW Bumper Impact Absorber - Genuine VW 1J0807248A

Product Information

A bumper impact absorber is a safety component located behind the bumper cover, usually made of foam, plastic, or composite materials. Its function is to absorb and distribute energy during low-speed collisions, protecting the bumper cover and reducing damage to the vehicle’s frame and other critical components.

• Reduced crash protection, where even minor impacts cause excessive bumper or frame damage.
• Loose or misaligned bumper cover, if the absorber is cracked or deformed.
• Visible cracks, dents, or missing sections in the absorber after an impact, compromising its ability to absorb future collisions.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
