There are not many Fiat cars in Russia, nevertheless fans of this car are seriously interested in the issue of maintenance and selection of appropriate spare parts. In fact, to pick up the right part is quite simple, you only need to have the necessary data about the car.
How to choose the spare parts for Fiat
The selection of spare parts for Fiat cars is not a complicated process. You can go to a car store, where experienced consultants will pick up all the necessary parts for your car. You can also order the desired part in the online store. In addition, it is always possible to go to the car service, where specialists will independently order the product needed for a particular car.
In cases where the product is chosen independently, the driver should take into account that the seller may need the following data:
1. The make and model of the car. In this case, the parts are needed for the Fiat brand. In addition, the seller needs to know the year of manufacture of the car, engine displacement, transmission type, etc.
2. Code (number) of the product.
3. VIN number.
This information can be found in the vehicle documentation. The part code can be found on the part itself.
How to choose a spare part by car make and model
The most common way to choose the right product - by make and model of the car, because the car owner knows this information by heart.
In addition to the make and model, you may need other data, as vehicle modifications may be different. So, the following information may be required:
- year of manufacture of the car;
- type of transmission;
- manufacturer's volume;
- steering wheel location;
- manufacturer.
If any of these data are unknown to the driver, they can always be found in the vehicle certificate or registration certificate.
How to know the number (code) of a Fiat part?
Another good way to pick up a spare part for a car is to know its number or article number. It is convenient because when the seller comes to the store and says the number of the part, he can check the availability of the part according to catalogs and offer the variants to the buyer. You can find the number of the part on an old product that has already been dismantled. If the part was previously purchased and has some documents or packaging, you can find the number on them.
But here you should be careful, because the manufacturer may have made changes to the product or changed the article number or even removed the part from production.
What can I find out with the help of the VIN-code?
The VIN number is a unique indicator; it is different for each vehicle. This number contains a lot of information about the car. It is enough to name it in the store and no other information is needed. So, thanks to the VIN-code one can know:
- The make and model of the car;
- transmission type;
- year of manufacture;
- The name of the manufacturer;
- engine displacement;
- body type.
This code can be found in the vehicle documents. It is also necessarily indicated on the engine and the body of the car.
Which parts are better: analog or original?
Of course, nothing can compare with the original products. This also applies to spare parts for your car. The original spare part is a guarantee of quality and safety. Purchasing such a part, the driver can be sure that it will exactly fit his car.
As for the analogs, you should be extremely careful. Such parts can not guarantee that the part will be an exact copy of the original and surely will fit a particular car. The quality of these products may not always be high. It is best to give preference to the original products.
How to distinguish the original Fiat parts from the analog ones?
In fact, it is quite possible to distinguish the original product from the analog. When purchasing parts it is necessary to consider several important points:
1. the original part is always sold in original packaging, on which there is a company logo and holograms, as well as all the necessary bar codes.
2. Original parts have no scuffs, bumps, chips and other defects.
3. In terms of cost, original products are always higher than the analog ones. Therefore, if the motorist price for the part seemed suspiciously low, it is better to refuse such a purchase.
What is an OEM number?
OEM number is an identifier of the original part. If the car owner has decided to buy an original part, he can name this very number in the store and be assured of the quality of the product. It can be found on the part. But it should be understood that different manufacturers may have their own OEM number.
Thus, the selection of auto parts for Fiat is quite an uncomplicated process, provided the owner has all the necessary information about the car.
