operose Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I had a bit of time before picking up my gf yesterday, so I stopped at the local dealership. asked the guy if he had timing belts in stock for an ej22. this is a chevy/subaru dealer btw. guy says "what's an ej22?" so I told him that it is the engine code for the 2.2l 4cyl engine in my legacy, and he asks for the vin number... me: "no thanks, you've more than answered my question" this probably belongs somewhere else, but I'm old gen at heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenw22 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I was looking for a water pump o-ring for my '86, and the parts guy (it's a Subaru/Suzuki dealership) asked for my vin. Then he told me it would take 2 weeks to get it in. This is the same dealership that quoted me $750 to replace the windshield. (and asked for the vin again). I had it done somewhere else for $200 cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Dealership parts duders ALWAYS want a VIN number. This ensures that they cant mess up looking up your exact year/make/model and can blame you for copying down the wrong VIN if it does come up with the wrong one. He still should have been able to look up year/make/model and found what you were looking for. Might get an audible *sigh* or but they will do it... Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
