That’s right, part No. 00010 ZDK-259-101 is available in the U.S. for a limited time only. Better known as VW Gewürz Ketchup Brand, it’s being offered at the fantastic price of free.
Volkswagen offers the ketchup as a condiment for its VW currywurst that its German plant employees enjoy. Unfortunately, the currywurst is not available.

I'm way more excited about this than I should be.
I don't remember what exactly I ordered, but I did get to enjoy some sort of sausage in the lobby of BMW world.

Yeah I see that , but its not the "currywurst" ketchup , and since they are Germans there must be a part number , even if its only in the workers lunch room !

I read it as being the ketchup FOR the currywurst.

It probably is.
Currywurst is usually something like Bratwurst with the spiced ketchup on it, which is likely what that is.
We have it occasionally at home.
Free shipping to Canada! Can't wait for my Ketchup to arrive
We're a multi-VW family so I ordered a bottle. Took several attempts though, the site was very slow and froze. Waited about an hour and was able to place the order.
I haven't had issues with any other website today, so I wondered if they were being overrun with traffic.
And for once "free" means free: not even a shipping cost.
edit to add: looks like it's sold out already.
Got my bottle. Something a little fun to have in the fridge with the 2 VW in the drive.
Does this keep window regulators and coil packs from failing?

I'm too late!! Damn... my wife only loves one thing more than Ketchup(me excluded) and that is her Volkswagens
Car people are so weird. "Here's a free bottle of ketchup with a VW part number" -> immediately crash the server and order all available supplies.

Is there a part# for the newer plant-based replacement sausage?
Completely and entirely different, but eventually I will buy some of this to try

Blast! It's already over I believe. I did sign up using my email, then opened the email they sent me, saw the "free ketchup" ad(?) and clicked on that. Nope, it states "that went fast" or something, indicating in true German fashion, that this American is SOL. Congrats to those of you who actually were able to get a free bottle. I'm heading to ALDI! :(
This is the one we use
I suggest you serve it mit French fries

No, but it does make them taste better.
Not having any luck with either part number.
The sausage is not sold in the US. The ketchup is only available in North America through this promotion, although apparently both it and the ketchup are sold in some grocery stores in Germany. You cannot order either from a North American parts counter :)

Yeah thats the one :)
In Germany I normally ask for pommes mit tzatziki and keep the Curry Ketchup for the Bratwurst ,
