About Parts Research

Part numbers consist of numerals and letters and can be up to twenty characters in length.

Multi-franchised parts dealers often insert prefixes before OEM part numbers. These prefixes must be deleted to enable price checks.

The prefix is usually one or two-characters, followed by a hyphen or a space.

For example:

A for Mercedes

HO- for Honda

K for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge 

KI- for Kia

MI- for Mitsubishi

MZ- for Mazda

NI- for Nissan

TO- for Toyota

VW- for Volkswagen

Citroen part numbers are shown without preceding zeros.

There are several car companies which utilise dashes, spaces, dots or slashes.
