Hyundai Tucson EGR Valve Replacement Parts

It depends on your engine: EGR valves are fitted to diesel and some petrol Tucson engines as part of emissions control, but not every variant has one. Diesel models — which make up the majority of UK Tucsons — are very likely to have an EGR valve, while naturally aspirated petrol versions may not. Check your V5C for the engine code and fuel type, then confirm with the breaker that the part applies to your specific variant.

These are entirely different generations with different engines and emissions standards — the first generation predates Euro 5, while the second generation was built to meet Euro 5 requirements from 2011 onwards. Engine codes differ between the two, and an EGR valve is closely matched to the engine it was designed for, so a direct swap across this generational boundary is very unlikely. Always quote your engine code and registration to the breaker rather than assuming compatibility.

The second and third generations overlap in year but represent a significant platform and engine change, and emissions compliance shifted toward Euro 6 on the third-gen models. EGR valves are emissions-era specific, so a part from the wrong side of that boundary may not calibrate correctly or could cause a fail on emissions-related MOT checks. Confirm the engine code on both vehicles with the breaker before ordering.

No — trim level does not affect EGR valve fitment on the Tucson. Whether your car is an S, SE, Premium, or Sport trim, what matters is the engine code and the emissions era the vehicle was built to. Simply confirm your fuel type, engine code, and model year with the breaker and trim can be disregarded entirely.

These two years sit either side of the second-to-third generation changeover, with the third-gen Tucson arriving in 2015 on a new platform with updated engines targeting Euro 6 compliance. An EGR valve from a 2014 second-gen car is therefore unlikely to suit a 2016 third-gen car, even if the engine displacement looks similar. Give the breaker both registration numbers so they can cross-reference engine codes and confirm whether any interchange is possible.

For diesel Tucsons, the engine code is the critical detail — common units across the generations include 2.0 CRDi variants but the codes and configurations changed between generations, and an EGR valve from the wrong engine or emissions era may not connect or perform correctly. A visually similar valve from the wrong generation can cause running problems or emissions failures. Always give the breaker your full registration so they can verify the engine code matches before you commit to buying.
