Hello everyone, this is a column focusing on car repair and maintenance. There are car mysteries you don’t know, and it will teach you how to avoid the big pits on the road of car ownership. I believe that not only you but also many people have a certain sense of obscurity about the car aftermarket, which will help you uncover the unknown stories of car repair and maintenance.
All car owners will encounter a problem that can not be avoided on the road of car maintenance, that is, how to choose accessories. The owners of the original factory parts, auxiliary factory parts and car owners who don’t know anything about cars have really gone all the way around.
In fact, the high-quality accessories behind this are also called original parts.

In this issue, the editor will reveal the secret: what is the original assembly and what is the difference between it and other accessories?

What is the meaning of all kinds of accessories?

1 what are the original parts?

The original factory parts refer to the auto parts meized by the automobile manufacturer, and all the indicators are in line with the testing standards of the manufacturer. This kind of accessories may be directly produced by manufacturers or produced by third-party manufacturers.
There are many channels to buy, and there is no absolute channel for sale.

2 what are the auxiliary factory parts?

Deputy factory parts refer to the auto parts that have not been meized or tested by the automobile manufacturer, which are mainly produced by some third-party brand manufacturers.
There are many channels to buy, and there are a variety of brands on the market.

3 what is the original part?

The original parts refer to the parts that are installed by the technician on the automobile production line when the car is in production. Other accessories are not called original parts.
There is no normal purchase channel for the original parts, because they are not sold at all except for installation on the production line. Car manufacturers have extremely strict control over the original parts, which can not be bought through normal channels.

Third, now that we know the meaning of various accessories, who is of higher quality?

In a broad sense, original parts > original parts >? Assistant factory parts.

The price of auxiliary factory parts is generally much lower than that of the original factory parts, such as the brake pads in the picture, the price gap has reached about ten times.
In some details of the workmanship can also see the gap, of course, the biggest gap is in durability. If the original factory parts may be replaced for 50,000 km, then the auxiliary factory parts may need to be replaced at only 30,000 km or less.

Why is the quality of the original parts higher than that of the original parts?

Although both the original parts and the original parts have been certified by the manufacturer, they are even produced by the same manufacturer. However, the gap lies in the testing criteria. The original parts are almost the accessories with the highest testing standard, and if the testing level is high, the natural quality will also rise.
Detailed workmanship is still very illustrative. If the service life of the original parts of the brake pads is 50,000 km, then the original parts can reach about 80,000 km. Not only limited to brake pads, all the accessories on the body are the same, shock absorbers, belts and many other accessories, the quality of the original parts are the highest.
Of course, some flawed and flawed accessories are not in this range, such as the handrails of the BMW three-series, such as the cooling tubing of the N20 turbocharger.
Therefore, in the process of maintaining a car, if the parts on the body do not have to be replaced, try not to replace them, because it is very difficult to find another accessory of the same quality as the original.

Is the Sanyuan assembly really invincible?

It would be a big mistake if you think that the original parts are invincible. The main engine factory has to consider the cost and it is impossible to use the top accessories on the car. Now some modified and competition-grade accessories, the price ranges from thousands to hundreds of thousands, is completely invincible. The quality must be better than the original, but the price is too outrageous to be suitable for ordinary people.

No matter what accessories are, as long as they are not inferior products, they can be used. Of course, different prices will also cause different service life and texture gap, now you, do not understand what all kinds of accessories are all about.
