How to identify your vehicle generation and engine before ordering a part
Prepare make, model, year, generation, engine and transmission for a spare-part compatibility review.
Model name and model year are different
Record the make and model from the vehicle's records, then provide the year separately. Peugeot 2008 and 3008 are model names, not manufacturing years. For C3 or C5, specify whether the vehicle is an Aircross rather than relying on the abbreviated name.
Generation and chassis designation
One model name can span multiple generations. Include the generation or designation where known, such as Astra J, and do not infer it solely from registration year. A generation's year range helps organize records but does not establish that one part fits every year or version.
Engine, fuel, turbo and transmission
Record engine capacity, fuel type, turbo status and transmission type, plus an engine code from a reliable source if available. A capacity of 1400 cc equals 1.4 litres, but capacity alone does not establish an engine match. Leave unknown information for review rather than selecting an approximate value.
Body, trim and fitting position
Include body style and trim or equipment when relevant to the part, and specify front or rear and left or right. Prepare the old part number where possible. If the store team needs a VIN for review, share it privately rather than in public questions.
Start with a saved model or recorded part number
