Frequently asked questions

We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions for you. In response to these questions, we explain to you the advantages of the winkler online shop or what you need to keep in mind when using the online shop. If you do not find the answer to your question here, you can contact your winkler technical specialist in your area at any time.

How do I find the spare part I need?

The search function of the winkler online shop is the quickest way to get the right results to your query and offers you countless professional filter options to limit the search results. Our search function works like a search engine, which means that you can also search for a combination of terms, for example “V-belt AVX”. You can simply separate the search terms with a space.


You can also search for the reference number of a specific vehicle or item manufacturer. Enter the number you have on file without any special characters or spaces. You can use an asterisk symbol, “*”, as a wildcard for more than one unknown letters or numbers, or use a question mark, “?”, for a single unknown letter or number.


You can further limit the results shown using filters (e.g. length, diameter or connection type).

Can I search for my own item number?

If the technical specialists have your material numbers and the numbers are stored in the system, you can also search for these numbers. If you have any questions, please contact your winkler technical specialist.

Can I also search for items that belong to a certain vehicle?

Yes, if you enter the vehicle name or vehicle type together with your search term, separated by a space, e.g. Actros brake pad.

How do I compare items?

The item comparison function allows you to compare two different items using a clear tabular overview of their characteristics. You can add any product in the online shop to the comparison list by clicking the “Compare” button on the item. The “Comparison” menu item will then take you to a table that opens in a new browser window so that you can keep searching in the online shop.
The overview shows all of the products you have added next to one another and compares their characteristics, such as price, dimensions, installation location, and brand.
You can highlight one item as the basis of comparison. This will make it easier to spot the differences between this item and the others in the table. Once you have found the correct item, you can add it to one of your shopping lists or directly to your shopping cart with one click.

What is most important when it comes to buying batteries?

1. Used batteries can be returned to the point of sale free of charge.
2. The end user is legally obligated to return used batteries.
3. This information sheet contains definitions of all the symbols found on the batteries.

How do I find the safety data sheets for my item?

Use the search function of the online shop to search for the item you want. Next, call up the item’s detail page, where you can find more information on availability and the shipping options. The product details are listed on the bottom of the page. If the item has a safety data sheet, you can find it on the “Downloads” tab.

Can I get any information from a technical database?
