Hyundai i30 Inlet Manifold Replacement Parts

Yes, all petrol and diesel variants of the Hyundai i30 have an inlet manifold — it is a standard component on any internal combustion engine, directing the air-fuel mixture (or air alone on diesels) into the cylinder head. Every generation of the i30, from the first-generation Mk1 (2007–2012) through to the current third-generation Mk3 (2017-onwards), carries one regardless of body style or trim level. The design and fitment vary significantly between engine families, so the engine code is the key detail when sourcing a replacement.

Both years fall within the first-generation i30 (Mk1, 2007–2012), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes match — the 1.4 petrol, 1.6 petrol, 1.6 CRDi diesel, and 2.0 CRDi diesel were the main UK engine options across this generation. However, ancillary mounting points and sensor configurations can change within a production run, so confirm the exact engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and verify the specific part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The Mk2 i30 (2012–2017, facelift 2015) introduced revised engine families and different mounting arrangements compared to the Mk1, making cross-generation interchange very unlikely even where the same displacement was carried over. The engine codes differ between generations, and the inlet manifold is matched closely to the cylinder head design of each engine family. Treat this as a generational boundary and confirm directly with the breaker whether any overlap exists for your specific engine code.

No — trim level has no bearing on inlet manifold fitment for the i30. Whether your car is an SE, Premium, Sport, N Line, or any other trim grade, the inlet manifold is determined entirely by the engine fitted, not the badge on the tailgate. Give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) rather than the trim name, and you will get a far more accurate match.

No, the 1.0 T-GDI (engine code G3LC) and the 1.4 T-GDI (engine code G4LC) are entirely different engines with different cylinder heads and inlet manifold designs, despite both being turbocharged petrol units in the Mk3 i30 (2017-onwards). Always match the inlet manifold to the exact engine code, not just the fuel type or the fact that both engines are turbocharged. Confirm the engine code from your V5C and supply it to the breaker when requesting a quote.

The i30 N uses the 2.0 T-GDI turbocharged petrol engine (engine code G4KH), which is a different unit from anything in the standard i30 range, so the inlet manifold is not shared with regular i30 variants. If you are sourcing for an i30 N, make sure the breaker is quoting specifically for the N's engine code rather than a standard i30 2.0-litre part. Mid-production changes to the i30 N's engine specification mean you should also confirm the part against your exact registration with the breaker.
