Cross Reference Citroen Part Numbers / Tag Numbers

[sifaan]

Hi!

 

Is there a 1-to-1 correspondence between citroen part numbers (nnnn.aa) and tag numbers (96nnnnnnaa) (n=0-9; a=0-9 plus a-z)?

Or is it possible to have several tag numbers for the same part number?

 

I'm searching for a Comm 2000 unit (part 6242.F9, tag number on current unit is 96477536XT) and tried (so far unsuccessfully) to find a unit on ebay.

There are quite a few units pulled from cars, for which only the tag number is available, and I'm wondering if one of those would work.

(BTW is there some reason breakers refuse to divulge the VIN? If I could get that at least I could check what the part number was)

 

Alternately, would it work if I matched by specifications (i.e. from a C5 1st gen (for a different car might mean different size?), Delphi, automatic wiper, rear wiper/washer, no headlamp washer, automatic headlamps, front+rear fogs, no cruise control, etc.)?

 

Thanks

hello mate

having been a Citroen owner for only a month i couldn't tell you the answer but i think i know a man that can. try calling Sean at French Diagnostic Services(07790 137153). he'll probably be able to give you an answer. even my local dealer have had to borrow tools from him and he's a mine of information. best of luck.

Thanks, Sean was indeed a mine of information, got quite a lot of info on Comm 2000s and some advice on possibilities of trying an alternate part.

However, he also wasn't able to do the cross reference; this has been done - when the fuel pump in the car turned out to be not the one that it should've had, and Citroen technical (via the dealer) did give me a part number from the reference tag number. But I can't see my that I could get several Comm 2000 reference numbers checked that way.
