BYD Models

About BYD

The F3 compact sedan, launched in 2005, became one of China's best-selling cars of its era and left a very large parked fleet behind it. In March 2022 BYD announced it had ceased production of pure internal-combustion vehicles, building only battery-electric models and DM plug-in hybrids from that point. Its Blade battery, a lithium iron phosphate design introduced in 2020, and the e-Platform 3.0 architecture launched in 2021 underpin most of its current passenger range.

This is the most important sourcing distinction in the catalogue. A battery-electric BYD has no spark plugs, no engine oil filter, no conventional fuel pump and no manual clutch, while a DM plug-in hybrid retains a combustion engine and most of its service items. Older models such as the F3 are conventional petrol vehicles with a full complement of engine parts. Regenerative braking also changes friction-brake behaviour: pads on an electrified BYD often last much longer than on an equivalent petrol car, while the discs are more prone to surface corrosion because they are used lightly. Always confirm the powertrain of the specific vehicle by VIN before ordering engine or transmission parts.

BYD models in this catalogue

Parts are organised by model, and each model page lists what is available for that vehicle together with the notes that matter when specifying it. The BYD model lines currently covered are BYD Dolphin, BYD F3, BYD Seal, BYD Song Plus and BYD Yuan Plus.

The catalogue is organised by brand and model rather than by model year, because a model year on its own does not determine fitment — engine variant, trim, market and mid-life revisions all do. Use the model pages to see what is listed, then confirm the exact variant with a VIN when you send an enquiry.

Part categories available for BYD

Across the BYD range we list Body Parts, Brake System, Clutch & Transmission, Cooling System, Electrical, Engine Parts, Filters and Suspension. In part-type terms that covers air filter, alternator, brake discs, brake pads, clutch kit, control arm, front bumper, fuel pump, headlight, oil filter, radiator, shock absorber, side mirror, spark plug and starter motor.

If a component you need is not shown, it is worth asking anyway: catalogue coverage and what can be sourced are not the same thing, and cross-references from a shared platform frequently open up options that a brand-filtered listing does not show.

Identifying the right BYD part

An OEM number is the vehicle manufacturer's own part number for a component. It is normally printed, stamped or moulded onto the original part, or onto a label attached to it. Aftermarket manufacturers publish cross-references linking their own catalogue numbers to those OEM numbers, and that cross-reference is what makes an order verifiable rather than an educated guess.

Cross-referencing matters because a single model line rarely uses a single part. Over a production run a manufacturer will change suppliers, revise a design mid-life, fit larger brakes to a heavier or higher-output variant, and build market-specific versions with different lighting, sensors and emissions equipment. Two vehicles that look identical in a showroom photograph can therefore take different parts. The model name narrows the search; the OEM number closes it.

What to send with a BYD enquiry

The VIN is the 17-character vehicle identification number stamped on the chassis and shown on the registration document, usually visible through the base of the windscreen and on a plate in the door aperture. It encodes the manufacturer, the model, the body and engine variant and the production sequence, which is why it resolves fitment questions that a model name cannot. Sending the following with your enquiry lets us quote against a specific part rather than a description:

  • The VIN — 17 characters, exactly as it appears on the vehicle.
  • The model year and, where you know it, the engine code or at minimum the displacement and whether it is turbocharged.
  • The transmission type: manual, dual-clutch, CVT or torque-converter automatic.
  • Whether the vehicle is left- or right-hand drive, which affects lighting, mirrors and some chassis parts.
  • The number stamped, printed or moulded on the part you are replacing, if the old part is available.
  • A clear photograph of the old part, including any label and any electrical connector.
  • The quantity you need, so the enquiry can be quoted realistically.

BYD spare parts exporter and wholesale supplier

Sino Drive Components exports BYD spare parts from China to importers, distributors, parts retailers, workshops and fleet operators. The catalogue lists 72 BYD parts across 5 model lines (BYD Dolphin, BYD F3, BYD Seal, BYD Song Plus and BYD Yuan Plus) and 8 part categories: body parts, brake system, clutch & transmission, cooling system, electrical, engine parts, filters and suspension.

Wholesale and bulk orders are accepted. The minimum order quantity is shown on each product page, and mixed loads that combine BYD parts with parts for other brands can be arranged on request. We supply buyers in Africa, the Middle East, South America, Southeast Asia and the CIS and can assist with export documentation and logistics.

OEM and aftermarket BYD parts

A buyer asking for BYD OEM parts usually means one of two things: a part made to the vehicle maker's own specification, or an aftermarket part that does the same job at a lower cost. We supply original-equipment and premium aftermarket replacement parts, and the specification sheet for any item is available on request, so a quantity is agreed against a part number and a specification rather than a description.

Pricing is by enquiry: no prices are listed on the site. Add the parts you need to the quote cart, or send the VIN and the number on the old part, and our sales team replies by email with pricing, lead time and shipping options.

Who buys BYD parts from Sino Drive

  • Importers and distributors stocking BYD replacement parts for their local market.
  • Parts retailers and independent workshops that service BYD vehicles.
  • Commercial and fleet operators running BYD vehicles who need a dependable source of spares.
  • Buyers who already hold a part number or a parts list and want it quoted in one enquiry.

Frequently asked questions about BYD parts

Which BYD models do you list parts for?

The catalogue currently covers BYD Dolphin, BYD F3, BYD Seal, BYD Song Plus and BYD Yuan Plus. Each model has its own page listing the parts available for it. If your vehicle is not shown, send the VIN and we will check whether the component you need cross-references from a related model.

Do you supply original or aftermarket BYD parts?

Tell us which you need when you enquire and we will confirm what is available for your specific vehicle. Original-equipment and aftermarket parts differ in price, availability and lead time, and the right choice depends on whether the vehicle is under warranty, what the part is, and how quickly you need it.

Do BYD electric models use the same parts as the petrol ones?

No, and this is the most important thing to establish before ordering. BYD stopped building pure combustion vehicles in 2022, so most current models are battery-electric or DM plug-in hybrids. A battery-electric BYD has no spark plugs, no engine oil filter, no combustion fuel pump and no manual clutch. Older models such as the F3 are conventional petrol cars with the full set of engine service items.

Why do the brake discs on my BYD rust when the pads are barely worn?

That is normal behaviour on a regenerative-braking vehicle. Most deceleration is handled by the motor, so the friction brakes do very little work — the pads last a long time, but the discs are never scrubbed clean and surface corrosion builds up. It is a wear pattern specific to electrified vehicles rather than a fault.

What information do you need to quote a BYD part?

At minimum the VIN and the part you need. Ideally also the model year, the engine code, the transmission type, whether the vehicle is left- or right-hand drive, and a photograph of the old part showing any number printed on it. That combination is usually enough to identify an exact part rather than a probable one.

How do I read the number on my old part?

Look for a moulded, stamped or printed alphanumeric string on the body of the component or on a label attached to it. Ignore date codes and casting marks, which are usually shorter and often include a recognisable date. Photograph the whole component as well as the number — context helps identify which of several similar numbers is the part number.

Are you a BYD parts manufacturer or an exporter?

Sino Drive Components is an export supplier based in Guangzhou, China. We source replacement parts through factory partners and supply them to buyers abroad. BYD is a trademark of its owner. Sino Drive Components is an independent export supplier and is not the vehicle manufacturer; the name is used only to identify the vehicles the parts are listed for.

Do you export BYD parts outside China?

Yes. We supply buyers in Africa, the Middle East, South America, Southeast Asia and the CIS, and can assist with export documentation and logistics. Shipping times and duties depend on your port and are confirmed at quotation.

Can I order BYD parts wholesale or in bulk?

Yes. Bulk and wholesale orders are accepted. The minimum order quantity is listed on each product page, and mixed loads can be arranged on request. Send your parts list through the quote cart and we reply with pricing.

How do I get a price for BYD parts?

Prices are given by enquiry. Add parts to the quote cart or email the VIN and the number printed on the old part; our team replies with pricing, lead time and shipping options.
