Cheap Hyundai i40 Clutch Slave Cylinder

Only some i40s do. The i40 was sold in the UK from 2011 onwards, and only the manual gearbox variants have a clutch slave cylinder — automatics have no clutch at all, so no slave cylinder exists on those cars. If your i40 has a manual gearbox, it will have one; if it has an automatic, you'll need to look at something else entirely.

The i40 was offered with a 1.6 petrol, a 1.7 CRDi diesel, and a 2.0 petrol, and manual gearbox versions were available across the range during its UK production run from 2011. The engine code is the most important detail when sourcing a used slave cylinder — check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm yours, as parts follow the engine code rather than the badge or trim name. Confirm the exact part with the breaker once you have your engine code to hand.

The i40 received a facelift in 2015, and while the core drivetrain carried over, ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production, so you cannot assume a pre-facelift slave cylinder is a straight swap onto a post-facelift car. Name the boundary clearly to the breaker — tell them your registration, engine code, and build year — and let them confirm whether the part crosses that 2015 line safely. Never assume fitment across a facelift boundary without the breaker checking against your specific registration.

Trim level does not affect clutch slave cylinder fitment — Classic, Active, Premium, and Style are equipment and comfort grades, not mechanical variants. What matters is your engine code and gearbox type, not what name is on the spec sheet. You may find cosmetic differences between donor cars at the breaker, but the slave cylinder itself is a mechanical part that follows the drivetrain, not the trim.

The 1.7 CRDi diesel and the 1.6 petrol are different engines with different codes, and the clutch and associated hydraulic components are not necessarily shared across them. Always supply your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — when asking a breaker for a quote, so they can match the part to your exact drivetrain rather than just the model name. Confirm compatibility with the breaker before purchasing.

The i40 was offered in the UK as both a saloon and an estate (also called a Tourer), but body style does not affect clutch slave cylinder fitment — this is a mechanical part tied to the engine and gearbox, not the bodyshell. As long as the engine code and gearbox type match, the body style of the donor car is irrelevant. Confirm the engine code match with the breaker and you can disregard whether the part came off a saloon or an estate.
