Second Hand Hyundai i30 Fuel Injection Pump

Both years fall within the second-generation i30 (GD, 2012–2017, facelifted 2015), so they share the same platform, but fitment of the pump depends first and foremost on whether the engine codes match — the code is stamped on the engine and listed on your V5 or via a VIN check. If both cars carry the same engine code and fuel type, there is a reasonable basis for compatibility, but confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying, as ancillary and mounting details can vary within a generation.

The first-generation i30 (FD, 2007–2012) and second-generation i30 (GD, 2012–2017) are built on different platforms with different engine families, so a pump crossing that generation boundary is very unlikely to be a straight swap. Engine codes between the two generations will almost certainly differ, and the pump is engineered to match the specific engine it came from. Always confirm cross-generation fitment with the breaker against both registrations — this is not a swap to assume without checking.

Trim level — whether Classic, Active, Style, Blue Drive, Premium, or SR — does not affect which fuel injection pump is fitted; that is determined by the engine code and fuel type, not the badge on the boot lid. A pump from a Classic and a pump from a Premium with the same engine code are mechanically the same part, though you may receive a unit with different surrounding brackets or ancillaries depending on the donor car's specification. Confirm the engine code match with the breaker and do not be put off by trim differences between donor and recipient.

The second-generation i30 (GD) received its facelift in 2015, so a 2015 car could be either side of that boundary depending on exact build date. The facelift primarily brought styling and interior updates, but some mid-production changes to mechanical ancillaries and mounting points are possible, so whether a pump from a 2014 crosses cleanly to a 2015 or vice versa is something to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume. Your engine code is the most reliable guide — supply it to the breaker alongside your reg and they can check the donor vehicle's details against yours.

Yes — fuel type is one of the most critical fitment factors for this part, as diesel engines use a high-pressure injection pump that is entirely different in design and operation from any petrol fuel pump; the two are not interchangeable under any circumstances. Within diesel variants, the engine code then narrows fitment further, as different diesel engines — for example the 1.4 CRDi, 1.6 CRDi, or 2.0 CRDi — each require a pump matched to that specific unit. Always give the breaker your engine code and fuel type together, and be aware that ECU pairing or immobiliser coding requirements on the replacement pump are something to discuss directly with the breaker before purchase.

Gearbox type can influence pump specification on some diesel applications, particularly where the fuelling map or pump variant differs between manual and automatic versions of the same engine, so it is a detail worth flagging to the breaker. It is not always a barrier to fitment, but it is not safe to dismiss either — supply your engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type when requesting a quote so the breaker can cross-reference the donor vehicle accurately. Never assume a pump from a manual donor will be a guaranteed fit on an automatic car without that confirmation.
