Volvo auto parts can vary in quality and cost. They differ in durability and characteristics, but, as with all cars, sooner or later these parts will begin to go out of service, and therefore will require replacement. Before each owner of a car there is a question, what component parts should be bought: original or analog. 

 

How to choose parts for Volvo

The car breaks down, and this is normal, because each part has its service life, and when it comes to its end, the part should be replaced for further safe use of the vehicle. To select spare parts for Volvo, you can go several ways: 

1. Visiting a service center and talking to a craftsman who works with Volvo vehicles. In this way, the owner makes his or her job much easier, because they will do the inspection for him or her, identify the problem and pick up the parts. 

2. The option with the service center is also suitable for those people who do not like mistakes and hassle with the long selection of spare parts, as official service centers Volvo use only original products. 

3. In addition, you can search for quality analogues, but it is difficult to find a supplier, although it is the most economical option. The components will have a low quality and service life is much shorter than the original parts. 

 

How to choose a part by car brand and model

It can be easily done by make and model, as well as by VIN code. In order to find a necessary part for your vehicle, you should indicate the following information on the official website of the supplier: the year of manufacture of the car, model and make, car and body type, engine displacement, and other information. It is necessary for the selection to be most correct and error-free, but the service technician can help you to solve such a problem.

 

How do I know the part number (code) of a Volvo?

It is considered impossible to find the right part for a Volvo if you do not know the 17-character number, otherwise known as the VIN number. It may also be found on the engine, the door pillar on the driver's side, the hood (inside), the driver's seat on the floor covering and the upper wheel arch on the right side. 

 

What can be found out with the help of VIN-code?

The VIN-code contains all the information about the car, and consists of a combination of letters and digits. To decipher this combination, you may need a technician or a service department. Due to this code you may find out the region and country of the car manufacturer, body type, model, what equipment the car has, year of production, and also the factory where the car was assembled and many other things. Moreover, you can even find out the real mileage through this code, if the car was overhauled in the service center, if it was involved in an accident, and much more. 

 

What parts are better: analog or original?

It is an eternal question - what part to buy: analog or original? Moreover, each car owner at least once, but tried to buy non-original products. The difference, of course, is immediately noticeable - original parts look much better and have a longer life, what analog parts can't boast of at all. 

What you should consider before buying spare parts for your Volvo:

- you should pay attention to the warranty and service life; it is also recommended to consider that savings do not always play into the hands, because the need to replace the element of the car can come soon, after installation;

- If the choice falls on the analog spare part, then before buying, you should look through the reviews of the supplier, because it best shows his "face";

- It is better to spend a little more time on the choice of analogue, as some of them are of high quality, as they have received a license from the Volvo automobile plant;

- When buying a non-original product, you should be prepared for the fact that it may not fit the car, because the producers often do not take into account the unique modifications of certain Volvo models.

 

How do you distinguish genuine Volvo parts from the analogous ones?

Car owners often wonder: what is the big difference between the analog component parts and the original? In fact, they differ in many ways, and it is immediately apparent. First of all, the original parts have Volvo branded packaging. In addition, they have an OEM number - a unique code by which you can easily find the missing part. In addition, there is a noticeable difference in price - analog parts are several times cheaper, because low-quality materials are used for their manufacture. 

 

What is an OEM number?

An OEM number is a unique combination of numbers and letters, which is assigned by the manufacturer to a certain part. This code is notable for its uniqueness - it is often used to determine the original component parts. Knowing which OEM code is necessary, the car owner makes it much easier to find the necessary parts.
