Each car possesses distinct characteristics
Purchasing a car part might not be as straightforward as one might assume. Simply knowing the make or model of your car is insufficient. When selecting an auto part, you must be aware of specific details such as the manufacturing year or revision of your car, along with its body type, engine size, and other relevant parameters.
For instance, cars produced in the same year may be released in different months and exhibit diverse characteristics—referred to as a car revision or release month.
How can you obtain your car’s details?
Review the documentation that accompanied your car purchase or input your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into a car verification service. The VIN is a unique code assigned to every motor vehicle during manufacturing.
How do you ensure you buy the right car parts?
Consider your car’s characteristics:
Search for spare parts using the make and model of your car. Thoroughly read the product descriptions and compare your car’s features with the information provided. Pay close attention, as descriptions may vary. For instance, a part might be suitable only for cars with a 3.5-liter engine and a diesel engine.
Search by part number or OEM number:
The part number or OEM number is usually imprinted on the faulty or replacement part. Your auto mechanic can provide this number, or you can ask for it and search for it on our website. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part number serves as a unique identifier, specific to a particular make, model, and sometimes the year of the vehicle.
Examine photos of the spare part:
When selecting a part, closely examine its appearance. Does it match the part you need to replace? Check the shape, number of outputs, and connectors, as these details are crucial. Keep in mind that colour might vary.
