Used Hyundai i20 Gearbox Mount

The i20 ran as a first generation (2008–2014) and a second generation (2014–2020), with the two generations built on different platforms, so a gearbox mount from the first generation is very unlikely to fit a second-generation car. Even within a generation there can be differences tied to the engine code, so quote your engine code – found on your V5 or via a VIN check – when asking a breaker. Crossing the 2014 generation boundary is a route-to-the-breaker question; always confirm fitment against your registration before buying.

The engine code matters more than the year, because Hyundai fitted different engine and gearbox combinations to the i20 across the same production years, and the mount is specific to the drivetrain rather than the calendar year. Petrol and diesel variants can use different mounts, and even within petrol engines a 1.0 T-GDI will differ from a 1.2 naturally aspirated unit. Give the breaker your engine code alongside the year and fuel type to get the right part.

Trim level does not affect gearbox mount fitment; the mount follows the drivetrain, not the badge or equipment level. A Classic, SE, Premium, or N Line car with the same engine code and gearbox type will use the same mount. Bear in mind that some trim levels were paired with specific engines as standard, so if your N Line has a 1.0 T-GDI and the donor car is a different engine, the mount may not interchange – the engine code is still the deciding factor.

Yes, gearbox type is an important fitment factor because the mount locates the gearbox itself, and a manual gearbox and an automatic or DCT unit are physically different shapes and sizes. Always tell the breaker whether your car is manual or automatic, and if possible supply the gearbox code as well as the engine code. Mixing mounts between gearbox types is unlikely to work and could cause noise, vibration, or damage.

The second-generation i20 launched in 2014 and ran through to 2020, so a 2015 and a 2016 car are within the same generation, making a match more plausible than crossing a generation boundary. However, ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production without a formal facelift, and this is something we cannot confirm as fact. To be safe, give the breaker your full registration or VIN so they can check the part number against their donor vehicle before you commit.

It is unlikely, because petrol and diesel engines have different block dimensions and gearbox pairings, which typically means different mount geometry. Even if the cars share a model year and generation, the mount is designed around the specific engine and gearbox combination. Always tell the breaker your fuel type and engine code – not just the year – so they can match the part correctly.
