It is believed that the original set of cars Ford brand is very high quality, and therefore has a long service life. However, despite this, sooner or later the car will need a local or major repairs, and then the owner will face the problem - and what parts to buy? Is there a significant difference between original parts and analog parts? It is worth noting that, many analog elements are of high quality, but it is necessary to take into account many factors, so that you do not have to perform repairs too often.
How to choose parts for Ford
The most recommended option is to visit a specialist service center, which will help you choose a complete part, based on all the information provided from the VIN number. This is the most reliable option - all the risks are minimized, and in addition, a warranty is issued in case of malfunction during installation.
This is not the case with analog variants. You can choose them with the help of a master or on your own, if the information from the VIN-code is available to the owner. It is recommended to check the reviews of the supplier on the Internet before ordering any part. In addition, it is worth considering the fact that the part may not fit, as the supplier does not pay due attention to the modification of the car.
How to select a part by car make and model
If the purchase is made on the supplier's website, you can pick up the missing parts by make and model of the car, but here you should consider the risks: it is possible to choose the wrong part due to insufficient information. It is recommended to ask for help from a master, he will help to find out the necessary information from the VIN code and, based on it, to pick up the most suitable part - analog or original - depends on the desire of the owner of the Ford car.
How to find out the part number (code) of a Ford?
To find the VIN-code, you should simply look in the technical passport of the car. It is easiest to find it in the documents - it is a code that includes 17 initials (both numbers and letters). However, manufacturers also put the code on the car itself. It can be found:
- In the luggage compartment;
- under the driver's seat;
- on the cylinder block;
- on the windshield;
- under the hood.
What can be found out with the help of VIN-code?
Thanks to the VIN code, you can find out a lot of information about your car, so you can determine which component parts will be suitable in your case. Sometimes it's difficult to decipher the 17-digit code, consisting of letters and numbers, on your own, so any service center or repairman can help in such a situation. Information that can be learned about the car from the code:
- body type and engine type;
- The year of manufacture and the name of the country where the car is made;
- The model and series of the car, as well as other information.
In addition, service centers can provide the following information from the VIN code:
- whether the car has had any accidents;
- Whether the car was restored after the accident;
- How much mileage is the real mileage;
- how the car was used;
- Whether the car was repaired in a service center, etc.
Which parts are better: analog or original?
You can find a spare part for your car in any price range, but is it really necessary to save money on it? In fact, despite the fact that original parts are by default the most recommended parts to use, but of course you can also find quality analog options for a small price.
Analogs are sometimes manufactured with a license from the automobile plant itself, which means that the component parts are quality controlled, but on the other hand, due to the fact that the Ford car has modifications that the supplier may not consider, the parts may not fit. This cannot be the case with the original parts in the service center. In addition, original parts have a long shelf life, while analog parts do not.
How do you distinguish genuine Ford parts from analog parts?
There are several distinctive factors of original and analog parts for Ford cars. Regarding the original, the following can be noted:
- they have a branded box, licenses and warranty;
- often a very high price, but on the other hand it is a guarantee that the component part will serve the car owner for a long time;
- Because the supplier is guided by the model and brand, the probability of nonconformity is reduced to a minimum.
With regard to analog parts, the following distinctive factors can be highlighted:
- the price is lower;
- low-quality parts; however, if the parts are manufactured under the control of the automaker himself, then there is a chance to buy a quality analog part at a low price;
- The probability that the item may not fit the car is too high.
What is an OEM number?
An OEM number is a unique code that allows you to distinguish between original and non-original parts from different manufacturers, but you should also take into account the fact that there are also different OEM numbers, although they are the suppliers for the same manufacturer. This is done for convenience, so you can distinguish suppliers by numbers.
