Hyundai cars are very popular among motorists due to their reliability, safety and comfort. But to keep the car always on the move, it is necessary to periodically carry out technical inspections and change consumables.
How to choose spare parts for Hyundai
Probably every motorist, when buying a car thinks about how and where he will buy spare parts for his vehicle. Today there are many auto stores, where a wide variety of different parts for the car is offered. But the more choice, the more difficult it is for the car owners - many manufacturers offer their own products. So how to make the right choice?
When choosing auto parts, the following factors should be considered:
1. Correspondence of the part to the make and model of the car.
2. Clarify whether the part is original or analog.
3. availability of warranty and possibility to exchange or return the part. 4.
4. Presence of factory packaging, absence of dents, damages, scuffs and other defects. 5.
5. The part number should be clearly legible.
Besides, you should not buy parts that were already used on another car, as further quality of the car may be questionable.
How to choose a part by car make and model
Selecting a part by make and model is the most correct way. To select a part you should know:
- car manufacturer;
- model;
- year of manufacture;
- engine displacement;
- steering wheel location;
- type of transmission.
This information can be found in the vehicle documentation. It is contained in the passport of the vehicle and registration certificate.
How can I find out the part number (code) of a Hyundai?
The part number or part number is a fairly informative identifier that allows you to find the right part. It can be found on the part, on the box, in the documents. Sometimes, having dismantled the parts, you can see the same number and then, turning to the store, buy exactly the same.
But be careful here, because the manufacturer could have made some changes in the design - to change the part number or remove the part from production altogether. Therefore, it is best to contact a professional who will be able to tell you exactly what number of the spare part is suitable for this model of the car.
What can be found out with the help of VIN-code?
The VIN is an individual vehicle identifier. It can give a lot of information and very often salespeople ask for it in order to find a spare part. And it is not by chance - with its help, through special programs one can learn:
- car model;
- transmission type;
- engine size;
- body type;
- date of manufacture;
- manufacturer's factory.
That is, just one code can give a lot of information at once. The VIN can be found on the car body or engine, as well as in the documentation.
What parts are better: analog or original?
The car owner can choose between original and analog parts. The main advantage of the original products is that they are made in accordance with all standards of quality and exactly fit the car, but their cost will be rather high. Analogues will cost many times cheaper, but the quality of such goods may be questionable.
Therefore, if the car is under warranty, it is still better to give preference to the original parts. If you give preference to analogs, then it is worth choosing a reliable seller who can provide a warranty on parts.
How to distinguish the original Hyundai parts from the analog ones?
Of course, the original parts are of higher quality and exactly fit the car. But how to understand if this is the original or analog? Hyundai Mobis Company has paid great attention to this question. All original parts are marked with a hologram, which is applied to the box, package and the parts themselves. In addition, the boxes necessarily have the company's logo, and there are no typos.
The original parts are usually more expensive, so if the buyer is confused by the cheapness of a particular part, it is better to double-check all the logos and holograms, and in their absence, to refuse such a purchase, otherwise you can buy a fake.
What is an OEM number?
An OEM number is a kind of identifier of an original part. It can be found on the spare part itself. Naming this number in the store, you can pick up the appropriate set. It is worth remembering that the same part from different manufacturers may have its own code. It is necessary in order to avoid confusion between different manufacturers.
Thus, the selection of spare parts for Hyundai is not a complicated process, it is only necessary to take into account all the nuances in the selection of parts.
