Hyundai i10 Crankshaft Replacement Parts

Yes, every petrol Hyundai i10 has a crankshaft — it is a fundamental internal engine component present in all variants, from the first-generation i10 (2008–2013) through the second generation (2013–2019) and the third generation (2020–present). There is no i10 variant that lacks one, so searching for a used crankshaft from a breaker is entirely valid. The key is matching it to your exact engine code rather than just the year or trim.

These two cars sit in different generations — the first generation ran from 2008 to 2013 and the second generation from 2013 onwards — so the engines and their internal components are not the same family. Even if the displacement looks similar on paper, the engine codes are different and the crankshafts will not interchange. Always quote your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) to the breaker so they can match the correct unit.

Trim level makes no difference to the crankshaft — the S, SE, Premium, and any other i10 trim grades all use the same engine internals for a given engine code. What matters is the engine code, fuel type, and the generation your car belongs to, not the badge on the tailgate. When contacting a breaker, skip the trim detail and lead with your registration number and engine code instead.

No — the 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre engines are different units with different engine codes, different bore and stroke dimensions, and therefore different crankshafts. Supplying your exact engine code to the breaker (rather than just the displacement) is the safest way to ensure the correct part is sourced. Do not assume a crankshaft from the other engine family will physically fit yours.

The crankshaft itself sits inside the engine block and is not directly determined by gearbox type, but the gearbox type can indicate which specific engine variant was fitted to your car — some engine and transmission combinations were only offered together in certain markets or years. The engine code remains the definitive guide, so confirm that with the breaker rather than relying on gearbox type alone. It is worth mentioning your gearbox type to the breaker as supporting information, but the engine code should drive the match.

The second-generation i10 (2013–2019) received a facelift in 2016, so a 2016 car could be either side of that boundary depending on when in the year it was registered. Facelifts typically affect exterior panels, interior trim, and ancillary components rather than the core engine internals, but whether the crankshaft specification changed at or around that facelift point is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration and engine code.
