VW coating specifications on wheel bolts

I received a request from a customer , he asked me a coating according standard VW 137 50, the coating code is c675, which kind of coating is it? The part to be coated is a wheel bolt.

Thanks

Your customer should have provided a copy of VW 137 50 to you if you are supposed to certify that the parts will meet the specified requirements. First, there is no category c675. The code letter c means electrolytically zinc plated. Also, the requirements for the plating are specified in another VW standard such as TL 217. You really should review the documents before proceeding any further.
