This just goes to show how unbelievably rubbish their 'Look up by reg number'  system is.  Yesterday, before knowing your reg number, I just put in your car details instead, and it gave me a choice of 4 results, two of which gave Polo VIN numbers in the 'fitment detail' section, and two the Fabia numbers, like on the 7Zap page.

 

Putting in your reg number instead, it gives just two results - just the ones with the sodding Polo VINs in the 'fitment details' sections!  no wonder you were struggling!

 

Anyway, going back to doing it with car details instead, I find this one with the relevant VIN details as per what we discussed with the 7zap page:

 

thank you once again ever so much. You must be a really top technician that you have even found out with those weird confusing ECP numbers. you are a top bloke mate. Thank you

No problem. Probably still worth calling and quoting the Skoda part number and asking them to check that it does cross-reference. Not quite sure what to suggest if they say it doesn't though!

yes I am on it now. will let you know soon.

Yeah I spoke to ECP and they also confirmed the same KWP water pump that you took the screenshot of. However when I was trying to push them to give me the actual part number they just kept giving me their own ECP catalogue number....lolzz

 

Anyways the part that you searched on ebay is £3 more cheaper than Carparts4less (who are selling it for £23 after discount). I am convinced with your link and happy with it and that's the one I will go with.

 

Thanks a lot for your help......I will keep updating how my car progress is going on.

In my experience, that ebay seller will contact you to check fitment against your reg number or VIN, so you can be confident it'll be right.

 

Thank you 

I have ordered it and sent him an email with reg and details in advance as well , so he doesn't have to ask me any details and that can speed up things.
