Volkswagen's most produced part was 199 398 500 A, a currywurst sausage (pictured)? "Part number 199 398 500 A is unlike anything else Volkswagen makes. Last year, 6.81 million examples of it rolled off the production line at the firm’s Wolfsburg factory, more than any other part."from Attwood, James (1 January 2019).

I think ALTs 5 and 7 have some potential, but April Fool's hooks still have to be factually accurate and that is not the case with either of these, so they would have to be rephrased to a degree. I might also note that ALT4 would also arguably work best if the image were to be used, as use of the image would spoil the surprise factor inherent in ALT5/ALT7 variants.

Whispyhistory, the article states A ketchup, the traditional currywurst accompaniment, is also manufactured. The Volkswagen branded ketchup is slightly more viscous than traditional mixes.[3] A pack of sausages and a bottle of ketchup retail for approximately US$10. and you can find confirmation in source 2.
