Hyundai i30 Oil Pump Replacement Parts

Yes, every internal combustion engine variant of the Hyundai i30 has an oil pump — it is a fundamental engine component that pressurises oil around the engine, so it exists on petrol and diesel versions alike across all generations. Because it is engine-driven and buried within the engine assembly, breakers will usually have it available when they are breaking a car with a matching engine. Supply is generally good given how common the i30 is in the UK.

The Mk1 i30 ran from 2007 to 2012 and the Mk2 from 2012 to 2017, and these generations used different engine families, so the oil pump from one generation will not simply swap into the other. The critical detail is the engine code — even where a displacement looks the same on paper (for example both generations offered 1.4 and 1.6 petrol units), the internal architecture changed between generations. Always quote your engine code, which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check, and confirm interchangeability with the breaker before buying.

Yes, fuel type matters significantly — petrol and diesel engines are completely different units with different oil pumps, so a pump from a diesel engine will not fit a petrol and vice versa. Within diesel variants, the common 1.6 CRDi engines used across the Mk1 and Mk2 generations had their own specific pumps tied to the engine code. Always confirm your exact engine code with the breaker rather than relying on fuel type and displacement alone, as running changes within the same engine family can affect the part.

No, trim level has no bearing on oil pump fitment whatsoever — the oil pump follows the engine, not the badge or trim specification. A Classic and a Premium on the same engine code will take the identical oil pump. The only details that matter are your engine code, fuel type, and the year of your vehicle within its generation.

The Mk2 i30 received a facelift around 2015, and while the core engine codes were largely carried over through that update, there is a possibility of ancillary and mounting changes mid-production that could affect fitment. Name the facelift boundary to the breaker and give them your full engine code and registration so they can cross-reference against the donor vehicle — do not assume the pump is identical just because the engine code matches on paper.

The Mk3 i30 launched in 2017 with revised engine variants, and the oil pump from a Mk1 or Mk2 will not be a straightforward fit given the generational engine changes. Your engine code is the single most reliable detail to supply to the breaker, as it pinpoints exactly which pump is needed regardless of what year or badge is on the car. Confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
