Solution

OE Number Matching and Cross Referencing

Every enquiry here starts with a number. Send the OE number stamped on the old part, or a Dorman, Bosch or Hitachi reference, and the reply comes back with the interchange numbers held against it and the applications that number actually covers.

How it runs

Send a number get an interchange list back

01

Send the number

OE, Dorman, Bosch or Hitachi. A photograph of the stamped number is enough.

02

We match it

The number is checked against the interchange lists held for that part family.

03

You get the coverage

The reply states the interchange references and the applications, with model years and engine codes where the source data has them.

04

You confirm and order

Minimum order is one piece, so a reference can be proven on a vehicle before it is stocked.

05

If it is not in range

We say so, and quote development instead of sending an approximate part.

What backs it up

The Detail Behind the Claim

  • Cross references held for Dorman, Bosch and Hitachi as well as OE numbers
  • Application tables down to engine code, capacity and kilowatt rating on the references where the data exists
  • Numbers given in both hyphenated and unhyphenated form because catalogues differ
  • A single reference can carry very wide coverage: one crankshaft pulley covers 67 Kia and Hyundai variants
