Used turbos 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 third-generation Tucson (known internally as the TL) ran from 2015 to 2021, with a facelift arriving in 2018 that brought some engine and emissions updates. The engine code remains the most reliable guide to which turbo you need, so pull yours from your V5 or a VIN check before approaching a breaker. Whether a pre-facelift turbo crosses cleanly to a post-2018 car is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary fittings and mounts can change mid-production.
The 2016 car is pre-facelift third-gen and the 2019 is post-facelift third-gen, so they sit either side of the 2018 facelift boundary, which brought engine revisions on some variants. Share your engine code with the breaker — if both cars share the same code the turbo is far more likely to interchange, but you should still confirm fitment against your specific registration because mounting and ancillary details can differ across that facelift year.
Yes, fuel type is fundamental — the petrol 1.6 T-GDi and the diesel 1.6 CRDi use completely different turbos that will not interchange. Give the breaker your exact engine code alongside the fuel type, as even within the diesel range there can be power-output variants that use different units. Never assume a turbo from the other fuel type will suit your car.
Trim level does not determine turbo fitment on the Tucson; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, gearbox type, and build year. An SE and a Premium SE on the same engine code and gearbox combination will use the same turbo, so don't let a trim mismatch put you off a good quality donor part. Cosmetic differences such as different alloy wheels or interior finishes are irrelevant to the mechanical fitment.
Gearbox type can influence turbo specification on some variants, so it is worth telling the breaker whether your car is manual, the 6-speed automatic, or the 7-speed dual-clutch, along with your engine code. In many cases the turbo itself is identical, but it is a detail that helps the breaker cross-reference correctly and rules out any variant-specific differences. Always confirm against your registration rather than assuming the gearbox makes no difference.
The fourth-generation Tucson (NX4) launched in the UK in 2021 and represents a completely new platform with updated engines, so its turbo is very unlikely to be interchangeable with third-gen TL parts from 2015–2021. Engine codes between the two generations will typically differ, and the breaker will need your exact code and registration to establish what is available. Do not assume cross-generation compatibility; confirm this directly with the breaker.
