Second Hand Nissan Juke Camshaft

Yes, every Nissan Juke has at least one camshaft — all engine variants fitted to the Juke use a conventional internal combustion engine with a camshaft (or camshafts) to operate the valves. The Juke was sold in the UK with petrol and diesel engines across two generations (2010–2019 and 2019–present), and all of them use a camshaft as a core engine component. This is a genuine part to search for on this model.

Both years fall within the first-generation Juke (2010–2019, facelifted in 2014), but fitment depends primarily on the engine code, not the year — two first-gen Jukes can share a camshaft only if they have the same engine code. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to get the engine code before ordering, then confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle matches. Year alone is not enough to guarantee a safe match.

This spans a generation boundary, and the engines changed significantly between the two generations, so a straight swap is very unlikely. The engine codes differ between generations, and a camshaft machined for one engine will not necessarily suit another even if the fuel types match. Name the engine code from your V5 to the breaker and ask them to confirm compatibility against the donor vehicle's code before purchasing.

Yes, this matters significantly — petrol and diesel engines are entirely different units with different camshaft profiles, dimensions, and timing requirements, so they are not interchangeable at all. Within the petrol range the Juke used engines including the 1.2-litre DIG-T and the 1.6-litre naturally aspirated and turbocharged units across its life, each with its own camshaft specification. Always confirm the engine code from your V5, as fuel type alone is not precise enough — the engine code is what the breaker needs to pull the correct part.

No, trim level has no bearing on camshaft fitment whatsoever — Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, and any other trim badges do not change the engine internals. What determines the correct camshaft is the engine code, which can be the same across all trim levels if the same engine was specified. Focus entirely on matching the engine code rather than the trim name when searching for a used camshaft.

Yes, the turbocharged 1.6 DIG-T and the naturally aspirated 1.6 HR16DE are different engines with different camshaft specifications, so parts from one will not suit the other. Even within turbocharged variants there can be differences depending on the specific engine code and market specification, so the engine code stamped on your block (or listed on your V5) is the essential detail to supply to the breaker. Confirm the donor vehicle's engine code matches yours before agreeing to buy.
