Because of the great demands placed on the car, all parts must be quality controlled, otherwise it can create an emergency situation. However, when choosing parts, you should also pay attention to quality analogues with a license.
How to choose spare parts for Audi
Breakdown of the car sooner or later can overtake any owner, most often it happens when you do not even expect it. The question arises - how to choose spare parts for Audi?
First of all, it is recommended to visit the service center - if the question of price is not a problem. Masters in the center will independently pick up the necessary spare parts for the car, taking into account the model. In fact, the possibility of error in the service is minimal, as such centers often use only original spare parts.
If you want to save money, but so that the car does not break down completely, then you need to choose analog parts. It is recommended to pay attention to parts that have a license from the car manufacturer. In this way you can even sort out the necessary parts yourself - the VIN code will help. However, you need to be careful here, because not always this part may fit and work properly.
How to choose a spare part by car make and model
To select a part by car make and model, you must first specify all the necessary data on the supplier's website, including:
- model;
- year of manufacture;
- make;
- car type;
- body type;
- engine displacement;
- and so on.
If you do not have this information, then you may need the help of a specialist who can help you figure out the VIN code.
How can I find out the part number (code) of Audi?
The easiest way to look at the VIN number of your car is to look at the data sheet - there it is written. It is a 17-character code of numbers and letters, which includes all the basic information. If you don't have access to the data sheet at the moment, you can look under the hood or driver's seat, and also, it is on the bottom of the windshield, on the trunk and the cylinder block.
What can I find out with a VIN code?
VIN is a combination of letters and numbers, through which you can find out the basic information about the car, for example: country of manufacturer, car model and series, production year, body type, configuration features, engine type, and more. Such code is often used for correct selection of a component part.
What parts are better: analog or original?
Due to the fact that Audi cars have a lot of owners with different income levels all over the world, the spare parts may be both original and non-original, which, in turn, have a lower price. Sooner or later each owner will have a question: is it really so bad analogues? Why is it worth choosing the original parts?
Important factors to consider when buying components for the car:
1. Sometimes the price can play into your hands - quality analogs are often made under the control and with the permission of the auto factory itself, and therefore the quality assessment will be more thorough than for those manufacturers who just use low-quality materials. Thus, if the analog is made under license, there is a chance to buy a quality part at a low price.
2. Keep in mind that cars have their own unique modifications and only the original supplier pays attention to this. Buying analog parts, there is a chance that it simply will not fit.
Original component parts have a long service life, you can not say the same about analog (especially low-quality).
However, if you have chosen an analog, it is worth to look through the reviews on the Internet from customers - to verify the quality, durability, etc.
How to distinguish the original Audi parts from the analog ones?
Original and non-original parts between each other have a lot of differences, which immediately catch the eye. First of all, the original parts have a unique license plate - which is important, the quality is very high, as it is controlled by the manufacturer. In addition, original parts have original packaging, while non-original parts are packed differently, as well as low price. More often than not, a low price - in this case - means poor quality.
What is an OEM number?
An OEM number, or "Original Equipment Manufacturer," translates to "Original Equipment Manufacturer." In other words, it is a unique serial number which is stamped on the part made by Audi's original equipment manufacturer.
The assignment of an OEM number to parts is dictated by the fact that in the market you need to distinguish between analog kit elements and original ones, because this makes it easier to return parts - in case of defects and, if service requires it, to buy only original parts from reliable sellers.
