Citroen Service part description help

Post by JamesQB »

Hi,

Using the VIN of my car on the Citroen Service website, the page showing injectors lists two item numbers:

00001980X9 ES INJ HOLDER £219.39 £257.78 £257.78
0000198091 NE INJ HOLDER £293.66 £345.05 £345.05

Quite a price difference. The only thing different is the description, with ES on one and NE on the other.

My immediate thought would be one is new and the other reconditioned. Can anyone confirm, because I've seen this before with other parts, with the ES and NE being the only difference in product description.

I don't have any tech data to hand (still!) :(

I would say one is exchange (so would be a 'recon' I guess) and the other is new / outright.

The X9 is your economy option - note the "Age greater than 2" comment in green.

If you still have family in Spain, Oscaro sell the Delphi injectors (not the economy version but the OEM spec) for 292 Euro each with tax.

Ah, thanks for that.

I didn't get what the 'age greater than' part meant. Does that imply an injector over 2 years old that's been reconditioned?

No, it means "Your car is positively ancient, and we consider it highly probable you don't give a rat's bum about it, other than ongoing ability to get you from A to B. Therefore we offer a new, compatible part at slightly less than the cost of the definitely good item"...

Usually the Economy parts have an "E" prefix. They're on most consumables of the newer model era.
