How to find an Opel part using its OEM code
The OEM code is often the most reliable way to find a compatible Opel part. Here is how to use it correctly.
To find an Opel part using its OEM code, start by reading the reference printed, engraved or moulded on the original part, then search that code in the catalogue. The OEM code is a manufacturer reference. It helps identify the exact part even when several Opel models look similar.
Why search by OEM code?
On an Opel Corsa, Astra, Meriva, Zafira or Insignia, two parts can look almost identical while having different mounts, connectors, engine compatibility or production years. The OEM code reduces that risk. It is especially useful for mirrors, electronic modules, rear lights, bumpers, engines, gearboxes and body parts.
At Opel Recup Center, products can contain several OEM references. This helps you find a part even when an old number has been replaced or when the same part fits multiple versions.
How to use the OEM code on the website
Enter the code without unnecessary punctuation. For example, search for 13288832. If you do not have the reference yet, search by part name and model, such as right mirror Corsa D.
What if several results appear?
Check the compatible model, photos, side, condition and available stock. For electrical parts, compare the connectors too. If in doubt, send a photo of your part, the OEM code and, if possible, the VIN via WhatsApp before ordering.
