Hyundai i20 Clutch Replacement Parts

The i20 first generation ran from 2008 to 2014, and the second generation (PB/GB platform to the new BC3 platform) arrived for 2015, so a 2012 and a 2015 car sit in different generations with different engines and different clutch assemblies. Even if the engine displacement looks the same on paper, the internal dimensions and spline counts are unlikely to match across this generational boundary. Always confirm with the breaker against your exact registration and engine code before ordering.

Both years fall within the second-generation i20 (2014–2020), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but Hyundai made running production changes during this period that can affect clutch disc diameter and pressure plate specification. The safest approach is to supply the breaker with your engine code — found on your V5C or via a VIN check — and let them cross-reference it against the donor car before you commit to the part.

The Hyundai i20 has been sold in the UK with both manual and automatic gearbox options, so a clutch only exists on the manual-transmission variants. If your i20 has an automatic gearbox it will not have a conventional friction clutch assembly of the type sold as a 'clutch kit'; instead it uses a torque converter and separate internal transmission components. Check your V5C or ask the breaker to confirm your gearbox type by registration before searching for this part.

Trim level does not affect clutch fitment on the i20; SE, Active, Premium, and N Line variants all use the same clutch assembly for a given engine and gearbox combination. What actually determines compatibility is the engine code, not the badge on the back of the car. Bear in mind that if you are buying from a higher-spec donor car there may be minor ancillary differences in the transmission tunnel area, but the clutch kit itself is driven by the engine code.

Yes, the 1.0 T-GDI and the 1.2 naturally aspirated petrol are entirely different engines with different torque outputs and different clutch specifications, so they do not share a clutch assembly. The engine code is the most important detail to provide when sourcing a used clutch, as it determines the correct disc diameter, spline count, and pressure plate rating. Get the engine code from your V5C or a VIN check and give it to the breaker so they can match it precisely to the donor vehicle.

No — diesel and petrol variants of the i20 use different engines with different clutch specifications, and the parts are not interchangeable between fuel types. Diesel units typically produce more torque at lower revs, which means the clutch is rated and sized differently to cope with that load. Always supply the breaker with your fuel type and engine code to ensure you are quoted for the correct donor vehicle.
