Fitment on a used aerial varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Yes, the Citan does have a roof-mounted or pillar-mounted aerial for the radio or telematics system, so this is a genuine part you can source from a breaker. It was fitted across the range regardless of engine or trim level, so you have a reasonable pool of donor vehicles to draw from.
The first-generation Citan (W415, 2012–2021) and the second-generation Citan (W420, 2021-onwards) are substantially different vehicles built on different platforms, so the aerial mounting points, connector types and body profiles are unlikely to be the same. You should not assume a part from across that generation boundary will swap over directly, and it is best to confirm compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration before ordering.
For a basic roof or pillar aerial, trim level does not affect fitment – the mounting point and connector are the same across the range. If the donor vehicle had a more advanced aerial setup for a premium audio or telematics system, the aerial unit itself may look slightly different cosmetically, but a standard replacement aerial is not trim-dependent, so do not reject a part purely on trim grounds.
Both of these years fall within the first-generation Citan (W415, 2012–2021), so the body architecture and aerial mounting are consistent across that window, making a 2015-to-2019 swap a reasonable prospect. That said, always confirm with the breaker against your registration to rule out any mid-cycle production changes to the connector or base style.
No, the engine has no bearing on aerial fitment – the aerial is a body-mounted part and is identical across petrol and diesel variants of the same generation. Focus on matching the generation and checking the connector type rather than worrying about what engine the donor vehicle had.
Ask the breaker to confirm the generation of the donor vehicle matches yours (W415 for 2012–2021, W420 for 2021-onwards) and check whether the aerial base and connector type match your vehicle's setup, particularly if your Citan has a factory telematics or navigation system. Providing your registration number to the breaker is the simplest way to make sure you get the right part.
