Find the article number, OE number and EAN
An article number or an EAN identifies one specific item. An OE number points to the original part that other brands are listed as replacing. Here is where to find the numbers and how to search.
On the box
The manufacturer's article number is usually on the label near the brand logo, sometimes marked Art.-Nr., Part No. or Ref. The EAN is the digits under the barcode, usually 13 digits.
On the old part
Many parts have the number stamped or printed on the part itself, for example on the edge of a brake disc or on a filter housing. Wipe it clean and read all digits and letters.
On the workshop receipt or quote
Workshops often list the article number and brand for each part, usually in a separate column next to the part name.
OE number, the car maker's original number
OE stands for original equipment. The number is the car maker's own number for the part and is often on the workshop quote or on the original part. If you search an OE number, we show parts from different brands listed as replacing it. They are alternatives, not the same item, so compare the specification before you buy.
How to search
Type the number exactly as written. Spaces, dots and dashes do not matter. With the box in front of you, you can tap the camera button in the search field and scan the barcode instead.
The number tells you which item it is, not that it fits your car. Always check that the part fits your car before you buy.
