Compatibility

Please see guide on how to check if this vehicle part will fit your vehicle.

1. Message Us

For the best assistance please message us your vehicle registration or VIN number for us to cross reference part numbers and vehicle details. We aim to get back to you within 24 Hours of confirmation. Click here.

Otherwise:

2. Know Your Vehicle Details

Gather important information about your vehicle, such as the make, model, year of manufacture, engine size, and any other relevant specifications. This information is crucial for finding compatible parts. Many mechanical parts will be relevant to the engine size e.g., engine, alternators, starter motors, ac compressors.

Other parts will be relevant to the year range e.g., MK3 and Mk4 year range will most likely differ on parts.

If purchasing parts such as doors and panels or parcel shelfs, please ensure you match the vehicle shape, i.e., Hatchback, Saloon, Estate, Coupe or Cabrio. A recommendation on door mirrors is to understand it’s possible features i.e., manual fold, power fold, heated, puddle light, and/or indicator.

3. Cross-Reference Part Numbers

Within the item specifics of the listing will be the vehicle manufacture part number. If you have your old part removed from your vehicle you can cross reference the part number to ours in the listing. Alternatively, if you obtain the part number from the vehicle manufacturer you can use this to search within eBay and cross reference against our listing.

4. Compare Photos

For exterior parts you can look at comparing our photos against the part on your vehicle. For example, on taillights it is important to check for different tints and shapes. When it comes to parts like door mirrors, it could be important to check the number of pins the plug has as it will vary for mirrors with different features such as power fold option.

5. Consult Your Mechanic

If you are uncertain about the compatibility, consult a qualified mechanic or dealership for expert advice.
