About this product
The CEI Retaining Plate (188.255) is a professional-grade replacement component engineered for long service life and reliable operation across all conditions your vehicle encounters. This part supersedes original equipment references: 188.255, 188255000, 81908010347, 970 353 0073 and 2 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function. CEI is a recognised supplier of automotive replacement components to independent workshops and dealer networks across Europe. All parts are sourced from authorised distribution channels and carry full manufacturer traceability — you receive exactly the same component supplied to professional garages and dealer workshops.
