OE 251419831A — Tie Rod Dust Cover for Volkswagen

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 251419831A; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.

Export packing is a neutral carton with inner protection; custom labels, barcodes and box specifications are available for volume orders. Shipments move FOB Guangzhou or Shenzhen, with CIF and DDP terms negotiable.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.
