Choosing the correct motor parts for your car

Choosing the correct motor parts for your motor car requires accurate and detailed information. To make sure that you select the proper motor vehicle parts for your vehicle, you should be familiar with the vehicles specifications. Most importantly you will be required to have your vehicle make, series, year model, VIN and engine type, engine numbers, gearbox or transmission type and codes, including any other important information you may have will always be helpful when buying motor parts from a new or used parts supplier. VIN and engine numbers can be found on the licence disc of you motor vehicle.

For example, when an engine or engine part needs to be located it is essential to supply information such as the engine size as the pistons, cylinder sleeves, bearings and cylinder head gaskets may be required in over or under size.

Furthermore you are required to supply information as to what fuel the engine is dependant on as various makes and models run on different fuels such as diesel, petrol, methanol, ethanol and even gas. Secondly you need to determine whether the engine is carbureted or fuel injected.

Most modern cars have many VIN or identity tags that are located at strategic and hidden points on a motor vehicle where you can obtain information such as the year and time the vehicle was manufactured as well as the colour and what number the vehicle was manufactured on the production line. These tags are often riveted to the firewall, pillar posts, under the dashboards and on fender posts and even tagged on seat belts with either embossed, stamped and or printed information about the motor vehicles status.

This accumulation of vehicle detail will not only help you purchase the correct motor vehicle spares but will ensure that you don’t waste time phoning around, not getting anywhere. Knowing the relevant information about your car, bakkie, SUV, truck or motorcycle, will not only ensure that you buy the right spares parts, but it will help you take good care of your vehicle.
