Used Hyundai i10 Flywheel

It depends on which version you have: i10s fitted with a manual gearbox have a flywheel, while those with an automatic gearbox use a torque converter and flexplate instead, so no traditional flywheel is present on automatic models. All petrol-engined manual i10s across the generations will have one, so as long as yours is a manual, you are looking for the right part. Check your V5 or a HPI/VIN check to confirm your gearbox type if you are unsure.

The first-generation i10 ran from roughly 2008 to 2013 and the second generation from 2013 to 2019, and the two generations used different engine families, so a direct swap across that boundary is unlikely to work. The most reliable way to confirm compatibility is to match the engine code exactly — found on your V5 logbook or a VIN check — and quote that to the breaker rather than just the year. Never assume generation-to-generation interchange without the breaker verifying against your specific registration.

Trim level makes no difference to flywheel fitment on the i10 — whether your car is an S, SE, Premium, or any other trim, the flywheel is determined entirely by the engine code and gearbox type, not the badge on the back. You may find donor cars from lower or higher trims offered by breakers, and that is perfectly fine as long as the engine code and gearbox type match yours. Focus your search on those two details and ignore the trim name entirely.

The engine code matters far more than the year, because Hyundai fitted different engines to the i10 across its life — for example, 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre petrol units were both available within the same model years and they use different flywheels. Your engine code is stamped on the engine itself and also appears on your V5 certificate or via a VIN decode, and quoting it to the breaker is the single most useful thing you can do. Using the year alone risks being quoted the wrong part.

The second-generation i10 received a mid-life refresh around 2016–2017, but facelift changes on this model were primarily cosmetic — exterior styling and interior updates — rather than mechanical engine changes. That said, whether a flywheel crosses the pre-facelift and facelift boundary safely is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration and engine code, as ancillary and mounting details can occasionally change mid-production without a formal generation change. Give the breaker your engine code and registration and let them verify before you commit to buying.

No — diesel and petrol engines have fundamentally different flywheels due to differences in engine mass, RPM characteristics, and mounting, so they are not interchangeable. The Hyundai i10 was sold in the UK with petrol engines as the mainstream option, and any flywheel you source must match your specific engine code rather than just the fuel type in general terms. Always quote your exact engine code to the breaker to make sure the part is pulled from a compatible donor vehicle.
