Used camshafts 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:
The ix35 ran as a single generation in the UK from 2010 to 2015, with a facelift arriving around 2013, so a 2012 and a 2015 car sit either side of that facelift boundary. The camshaft follows the engine code rather than the model year, so if both cars share the same engine code the part is more likely to be compatible — but whether any ancillary or mounting changes were introduced around the facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
No — petrol and diesel engines are entirely different units with different camshaft profiles, so the parts are not interchangeable. Always match the camshaft to the correct fuel type and, more specifically, to the exact engine code shown on your V5 or a VIN check, as this is the most reliable way to ensure you get the right part.
Yes, all Hyundai ix35 engines sold in the UK — including the 1.6 and 2.0 petrol units and the 1.7 and 2.0 diesel units — use conventional camshafts to operate the valves, so this is a real and regularly available used part. Depending on the engine, the unit may run a twin-cam (DOHC) arrangement with separate intake and exhaust camshafts, so make sure you identify which shaft you need and supply your engine code to the breaker so they can match the correct one.
Trim level makes no difference to camshaft fitment — Classic, Premium, and Style are specification packages covering interior and equipment choices, not mechanical differences. What matters is your engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, so give those details to the breaker rather than worrying about trim.
In most cases the camshaft itself is determined by the engine code and is not directly affected by whether the gearbox is manual or automatic, so they are generally the same part. However, supply your engine code to the breaker to confirm, as this is far more reliable than going by gearbox type alone.
The single most useful thing you can give a breaker is your engine code, which you'll find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check — it identifies the exact engine variant and removes most of the guesswork around year and facelift differences. Also tell the breaker your fuel type and whether you need the intake or exhaust camshaft (or both), as DOHC engines have two. Never rely on year and model name alone, as running changes during production mean two cars of the same year can have different parts.
