SEAT is a Spanish car brand, popular among consumers due to compliance with European quality standards in production. It has a wide range of interchangeable parts, but any vehicle requires regular inspections and replacement of damaged parts.
How to choose spare parts for SEAT?
Guided by a proven and effective system of rules, which is used by experienced car owners, you can simplify the search for the necessary components in case of breakdown.
First of all, when a breakdown occurs, you need to accurately determine its cause. This can be done both independently and by contacting a service center. Masters will help to accurately identify the degree of failure and give further instructions for its correction.
Secondly, choose a quality supplier of the necessary parts and give preference to original spare parts, which guarantee long life and quality. By doing this you will save yourself time and money that you could have wasted by using low-quality components.
You will also find a worthy supplier who will offer you a quality product with a warranty, and help you avoid problems such as:
- non-original components;
- buying used parts;
- absence of warranty;
- Overpriced low-quality goods.
How to choose a spare part by car make and model?
When you choose and search for parts on your own, you need to consider many parameters. The main thing is to choose the right part, taking into account the configuration of the vehicle, as well as not to err in quality and cost.
How do I know the number (code) of the SEAT part?
Each vehicle has a unique identification number. It can be found in the car purchase agreement, passport or vehicle registration certificate. You can also see the number on the car body, under the windshield, in the place where the shock absorber is attached, in the driver's door opening or under the passenger seat.
What can be found out with the help of VIN-code?
By punching the VIN with the help of special services, or knowing its deciphering, you can find out such information as:
- engine model;
- car series;
- its configuration;
- gearbox type;
- date and country of manufacture of the car.
Each identifier consists of several parts that contain Latin numerals and letters. In total, the VIN has three sections.
The first section includes information about the manufacturer and also consists of three characters. The second section is called descriptive, and it is the next six characters that tell about the model, engine type, cab, body, brake system, etc. The last part of the code, the identification or distinguishing part, consists of eight characters that will decipher the complete equipment of the vehicle.
Which parts are better: analog or original?
Producers of original parts, unlike analog parts, follow strict quality control. There is a constant revision and renewal of obsolete parts, for longer life. Obsolete parts are removed from production and improved models with new numbers are put into circulation. Original components are much more expensive than the analog ones.
However, the analog is not always a bad thing, just this type of parts does not have the necessary certification, and the supplier can not always give a guarantee for long service parts. But analogs are often much cheaper than the original parts.
How to distinguish the original SEAT parts from the analogous ones?
Suppliers receive each original part from manufacturers in factory packaging with markings and anti-counterfeiting protection. In the car service, you can check the authenticity of the details of the manufacturer, punching in a special database. Analogues can be manufactured by a third-party company under its own brand, but such parts do not have a catalog number.
What is an OEM number?
OEM number - original equipment manufacturer, which translates as "original part number". It defines the nomenclature for assembly production. For the correct ordering of specific components, manufacturers have provided a catalog number for each vehicle part. It may happen that the same part has a different OEM, in this number is encoded information on the affiliation of the part to a particular
- equipment assembly;
- paint code;
- trim;
- engine series, etc.
Usually parts with an OEM number are parts of good quality at an average price. However, you should consider the fact that such parts do not pass the automaker's quality control and can be made from cheap materials. Also, manufacturers periodically change suppliers. In this case, it is not always possible to get a quality product for the average market price.
