Used Nissan Juke Cylinder Head

The Nissan Juke ran as a single generation from 2010 to 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2014, so your 2012 and a 2014 car sit either side of that production boundary. Whether the cylinder head crosses that boundary depends entirely on whether both cars share the same engine code — check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm yours, then ask the breaker to match it exactly. If the engine codes are identical, fitment is much more likely, but confirm any ancillary or mounting differences with the breaker against your registration before buying.

For a cylinder head, the engine code is the single most important detail — more so than the year, trim, or any badge on the car. The Juke used several different petrol and diesel engines across its 2010–2019 run, and heads are not interchangeable between different engine codes even if the cars look identical from the outside. Find your engine code on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check and give it to the breaker so they can match the donor part precisely.

Trim level makes no difference whatsoever to cylinder head fitment — the Acenta and Tekna are the same engine underneath, and if they share the same engine code the head will be the same part. What you may notice is that ancillary components bolted to the head could vary slightly between trim levels, so check with the breaker whether those extras are included or stripped from the donor. Focus on matching the engine code, not the trim badge.

No, petrol and diesel cylinder heads are completely different parts and are not interchangeable under any circumstances. The Juke was offered with both petrol and diesel engines across the 2010–2019 generation, and each fuel type has its own head design, combustion chamber layout, and compression ratio. Always confirm both your fuel type and exact engine code with the breaker to make sure they're pulling from the right donor vehicle.

The 2014 facelift is a known boundary in Juke production, and while some engine codes carried across it, you cannot assume the cylinder head is a straight swap without checking. Start by confirming your engine code via your V5 or a VIN check, then ask the breaker to verify whether the donor head — including any ancillary or mounting points — matches your specific registration. Naming the facelift year to the breaker will help them flag any known differences quickly.

Gearbox type does not directly affect the cylinder head itself, but it can be a useful detail to give the breaker because certain engine and gearbox combinations were paired together from the factory, helping them identify the correct donor car. The cylinder head is matched to the engine code first and foremost, so that remains your most important piece of information. Confirm the engine code with the breaker and mention your gearbox type as supporting detail to help narrow down the right vehicle.
