Second Hand Hyundai i20 Oil Pump

Every petrol and diesel Hyundai i20 has an oil pump — it is a fundamental engine component needed to circulate oil around any internal combustion engine, so all variants across all generations are fitted with one. There are no i20 drivetrain layouts (such as electric-only) in the mainstream UK market that would eliminate it. You can search for a used unit with confidence that the part exists on your car.

The first-generation i20 ran from 2008 to 2014 and the second generation from 2014 to 2020, and these two generations used different engine families, so an oil pump from a Mk1 will not simply swap into a Mk2. The oil pump is matched to the specific engine block, so crossing that 2014 generation boundary is very unlikely to work even if the displacement looks the same on paper. Always confirm compatibility with the breaker using your engine code, which you can find on your V5 or via a VIN check.

Trim level has no bearing on oil pump fitment whatsoever — the Classic, SE, Premium, and any other trim designation simply reflect interior and equipment differences, not engine differences. What matters is the engine code, which determines the exact pump specification regardless of what badge is on the car. As long as the engine codes match between your car and the donor vehicle, the trim level of either car is irrelevant.

The second-generation i20 (2014–2020) received a facelift in 2018, and while the core engine codes were carried over in many cases, ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production without a clean year-by-year record. The safest approach is to give the breaker your full engine code — stamped on the engine block and listed on your V5 — and let them match it to their donor vehicle's code rather than relying on model year alone. Never assume a same-year-range match is guaranteed without that check.

Yes, fuel type and engine code matter enormously here — a 1.2 petrol and a 1.4 diesel use entirely different engine blocks with different oil pump designs, so the parts are not interchangeable. Even within petrol or diesel variants, different displacements and engine codes will have their own specific pumps. Always quote your engine code to the breaker rather than just the fuel type or engine size, as that single code is the most reliable way to ensure a correct match.

The third-generation i20, launched in 2020, moved to an updated engine lineup that differs from earlier generations, making a cross-generation swap very unlikely to be compatible. Engine codes changed with the new platform, and the oil pump is engineered to the specific block it fits. Confirm your engine code with a VIN check and provide it to the breaker, who can verify whether any overlap exists between generations for your particular engine variant.
