Title: acronyms (cant see it covered elsewhere )
Post by: daved on March 01, 2011, 06:33:47 PM: Can any one please explain what the vehicle type codes on part lists etc refer to ie where it says ZKG, ZZG etc. How do i relate that to my vehicle?? I cant find any of the common combos in the vin

thanks

Post by: Jonny Jeep on March 01, 2011, 07:14:38 PM: Here's an example. At the start of the brakes section in the 97 TJ parts list it states...

Note:Sales Codes;
[BGA]=Brakes - Power Front Disc/Rear Drum
[BGK]=Brakes - 4-Wheel Anti-lock

I have rear drum brakes so the BGA code applies to my Jeep. In my build sheet from Jeep the entry for brakes is...

BGAS Power Front Disc/Rear Drum Brakes

It looks like the parts list only uses the first three letters of the codes in the build sheet.

To get a build sheet for your Jeep so you can match up which parts are for you vehicle go here...

Click the send us an email link, and send a message asking for the build sheet for your Jeep and including the last 8 digits of your VIN.

Post by: Jonny Jeep on March 02, 2011, 06:30:37 PM: I don't see why not. Best way to find out the answer though is contact them.

Post by: ivanidea on March 03, 2011, 10:02:03 AM: I filled in the form, using their State and Zipcode, and provided the required info from my new Wrangler.

A day later, I got the requested info :icon_super:

I use jeep.com more often than the useless UK site. At least the USA have decent support on their site, with the ability to download user manuals as well.

Post by: carljh on March 03, 2011, 06:10:43 PM: the uk jeep site is very limited compared to the us one, supose they are busy intergrating everything into the fiat way of doing things
does this mean a return of VM diesels? them being italian.
