Fitment on a used flywheel 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 Nissan Micra has a flywheel, but the type depends on engine and gearbox combination. Petrol Micras with a manual gearbox typically use a conventional solid flywheel, while some diesel variants may use a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) — always confirm which type is fitted to your exact engine code with the breaker before ordering. Automatic and CVT-gearbox Micras use a driveplate (flexplate) rather than a flywheel, so if your Micra has an automatic or CVT transmission, a flywheel is not the part you need.
Almost certainly not — the K11 (1992–2002) and K12 (2003–2010) are separate generations with different engine families, so their flywheels are matched to different cranks and clutch dimensions. The engine code is the key detail here; even if two engines sound similar by displacement, differing codes mean different flywheel specifications. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker so they can match the part correctly.
Both fall within the K12 generation (2003–2010), so fitment is plausible if the engine codes match, but there were running production changes across this generation that may affect ancillary or mounting details mid-run. Give the breaker your full engine code and registration so they can verify against their donor vehicle rather than relying on year alone.
Trim level has no bearing on flywheel fitment whatsoever — the flywheel is determined by the engine code and gearbox type, not by whether the car is a basic E, a mid-range Urbis, or a higher Activ spec. What you should focus on is matching the engine code exactly, and confirming the gearbox type (manual versus automatic/CVT), as these are the details that actually differ between cars on the forecourt.
The K13 generation (2010–2017) 1.2 petrol engines used several engine codes across the production run, and the flywheel must match your specific code rather than just the displacement. Check your V5 or request a VIN check to get the exact engine code, then supply that to the breaker — this is far more reliable than quoting the year or '1.2 petrol' alone. Also confirm you have a manual gearbox, as CVT-equipped K13 Micras use a driveplate, not a flywheel.
No — diesel and petrol flywheels are engineered for their respective engines and are not interchangeable; the crank bolt pattern, diameter, and clutch mating surface will differ. Always source a flywheel that matches your exact fuel type and engine code, and let the breaker check compatibility against both your registration and the donor vehicle's specification.
