Fitment on a used crankshaft varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Yes, every Accent has a crankshaft — it is a fundamental internal combustion engine component present in all variants regardless of fuel type, engine size, or gearbox. The Accent was sold in the UK across several generations, all with petrol or diesel engines, and every one of those engines contains a crankshaft. If you are looking for a replacement, the key detail to supply is your exact engine code, which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check.
These are separate engine families built around different generations of Hyundai platform, so a straight swap across that boundary is very unlikely. Engine codes differ between the two generations, and the crankshaft dimensions, journal sizes, and bearing specifications are matched to the specific engine block. Supply your engine code to the breaker and ask them to confirm fitment against your registration before purchasing.
No, the crankshaft itself is determined by the engine, not by whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox. Both transmission types bolt to the same engine block on a given Accent variant, so the crankshaft specification is identical either way. Focus on supplying your engine code rather than your gearbox type when requesting a quote from the breaker.
Trim level has no bearing on crankshaft fitment whatsoever. Trims like GSi and CDX are largely about interior specification, equipment levels, and cosmetic differences rather than engine changes. What actually matters is your engine code — two Accents on different trims with the same engine code will take the same crankshaft.
Almost certainly not, as different engine displacements have different bore, stroke, and journal dimensions meaning the crankshafts are not interchangeable. Even within the same generation, the 1.3 and 1.5 are distinct engine families with their own crankshaft specifications. Always quote your exact engine code to the breaker rather than just the displacement, as this removes any ambiguity.
Body style makes no difference at all to crankshaft fitment; it is a purely mechanical part tied entirely to the engine. A three-door and a five-door Accent with identical engine codes share the same crankshaft. Give the breaker your engine code and registration, and they can match the correct unit without needing to know anything about the body style.
