Used airbags vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Hyundai i20 moved from the first generation (2008–2014) to the second generation (2015–2020), so a 2015 and a 2018 i20 are both second-generation cars and are a much stronger match than parts crossing that 2015 boundary. That said, whether the specific airbag module is fully compatible with your car's SRS system is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. Always have airbag components fitted by a qualified technician, as they are safety-critical and single-use once deployed.
These cars sit in different generations — the first generation ran from 2008 to 2014, and the second generation from 2015 to 2020 — so a 2012 and a 2016 i20 cross that production boundary. Interior parts including airbags are matched by generation, making a cross-generation swap uncertain, and you should route this question directly to the breaker with your registration number so they can check compatibility against your specific SRS system. Professional fitting by a qualified technician is essential for any airbag replacement.
For airbags, the main trim consideration is the seat style, since some i20 trims featured different seat designs which can affect side or seat-mounted airbag fitment. If you are sourcing a steering wheel or dashboard airbag, trim level is less likely to be a factor, but for side or curtain airbags it is worth telling the breaker your exact trim so they can match accordingly. The breaker will also need to confirm compatibility with your car's specific SRS system against your registration, and fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician given the safety-critical nature of airbags.
Door count can matter for curtain and side airbags because the roof rail and door configurations differ between 3-door and 5-door variants, so always tell the breaker whether your i20 is a 3-door or 5-door when requesting a quote. Steering wheel and dashboard airbags are generally unaffected by door count, but the breaker should still verify the part against your registration to be certain. Never assume an airbag from one body style will simply swap into another without checking.
Yes, side matters: airbags are handed, so you need to specify the nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) when asking for quotes from breakers. Getting the side wrong means the part will not fit, and given that airbags are safety-critical components, there is no safe workaround. Always have the replacement unit professionally fitted by a qualified technician, and have the breaker confirm the module is compatible with your specific SRS system using your registration number.
No — airbags are single-use devices and cannot safely be reused after deployment; once an airbag has fired it must be replaced, not refurbished or repacked. Reputable breakers on Findapart will supply undeployed units removed from cars that were written off for reasons other than a front or relevant-side impact. Always confirm with the breaker that the unit has never been deployed, and insist on professional fitting by a qualified technician given the safety-critical nature of this part.
