Used flywheels 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:
It depends on the gearbox: i30s fitted with a manual gearbox have a conventional flywheel (or dual-mass flywheel on many diesel and later petrol engines), whereas automatics use a torque converter and flexplate instead, so there is no traditional flywheel on an automatic i30. Check your V5 or a VIN check to confirm your gearbox type before searching for this part.
Almost certainly not as a straight swap — the first-generation i30 (2007–2012) and second-generation i30 (2012–2017) used different engine families with different bolt patterns and flywheel specifications, even where fuel type looks the same. Engine codes changed across that boundary, so always match by engine code rather than by year alone, and confirm interchangeability with the breaker against your exact registration.
Within the same generation it matters primarily through the engine code — if the engine code on your V5 matches the donor vehicle's engine code, the flywheel is very likely to be compatible, but there can be ancillary or mounting detail changes mid-production that are hard to verify from the outside. Supply your engine code to the breaker and ask them to confirm against their vehicle's code before purchasing.
Trim level makes no difference to flywheel fitment — SE, SR, N Line and other trim grades are cosmetic and equipment distinctions, not mechanical ones, and they all share the same flywheel spec for a given engine code and gearbox type. What matters is the engine code, fuel type, and whether the car has a manual gearbox, so focus on those details rather than the trim badge.
Many i30 diesel engines were factory-fitted with a dual-mass flywheel, so unless the previous owner has converted to a solid flywheel and uprated clutch kit, you should be sourcing a DMF replacement. The exact type depends on your engine code, so check your V5 for the code and confirm with the breaker whether their unit is a DMF or solid flywheel before committing.
The i30 N uses a different engine code (the turbocharged G4KH 2.0 T-GDI) from standard petrol i30 variants, so despite the shared displacement the flywheel specification is unlikely to cross over, and the i30 N is only available with a manual gearbox. Always match by engine code and confirm with the breaker rather than assuming shared capacity means shared parts.
