Find an OEM auto-part number and verify compatibility
Make and model are not always enough. Year, engine, trim, side, connectors and the original reference can all change compatibility.
Locate the full reference
Look for an original label, engraving, casting, packaging or technical document. Clean only what is necessary and photograph the complete number and its location.
Identify the receiving vehicle
Prepare make, model, year, engine, transmission and trim. Depending on the component, body style, left or right side, connector and installed options may be decisive.
Compare more than a partial number
A final letter or revision can identify a different variant. Compare the complete number, mounting points, dimensions, connectors and functions; request documented confirmation when references differ.
Know when specialist confirmation is required
Control modules, safety systems, brakes, high-voltage parts and coded components require specialised checking. Ask about test, return and delivery terms before payment.
Frequently asked questions
Are visually identical parts always compatible?
No. Connectors, dimensions, calibration, revisions and functions can differ.
What should I send when requesting a part?
Send the full reference, clear photos, make, model, year, engine, version and city.
