Risk of Using Non Genuine Parts
Non-genuine parts are designed using reverse engineering (copying an original component). Manufacturers of non-genuine parts do not have access to Perkins technical data and drawings so these parts are designed and manufactured in isolation from the rest of the engine.
In most cases the material specification is rationalised, so there is a real risk that these parts will not fit correctly. This can result in rapid wear, compromised performance, poor reliability, higher oil and fuel consumption and even component damage or engine failure.
Suppliers of non-genuine parts will only provide a small range of the high-volume part numbers. They will not support the complete Perkins engine range and will not be covered by the Powerpart warranty.
Why Use Genuine Parts?
Powerpart components are designed to work together to maximise component life and engine performance.
Powerpart parts are designed to match the individual engine characteristics across the whole Perkins engine range, to fit first time and saving on costly downtime.
Powerpart parts restore optimum power and fuel efficiency and are supported by thePerkins Powerpart Warranty.
