01
Start with your vehicle
Have the make, model, generation, engine and build date ready. Where the retailer offers a registration or VIN check, use it and read the resulting fitment notes. This site does not provide a registration lookup.
02
Compare the reference
Read the original component reference or ask your garage for it. A supplier SKU, manufacturer part number and OE number can be different identifiers. Do not assume two similar-looking numbers identify interchangeable parts.
03
Read the differences
Check the mounting, connector, dimensions and position. If there are several variants, ask the retailer to confirm which applies before ordering.
04
Keep the confirmation
Save the product page and the retailer’s answer. Check the seller’s delivery, fitting and returns conditions before you buy.
