Nissan Note Clutch Master Cylinder Replacement Parts

Only manual-gearbox Nissan Notes have a clutch master cylinder — if your Note has a CVT automatic or the e-Power hybrid drivetrain, there is no clutch pedal and therefore no clutch master cylinder fitted anywhere on the car. The first-generation Note (E11, 2006–2013) was available with manual gearboxes on the 1.4 and 1.6 petrol and 1.5 dCi diesel variants, so those cars do have one. If you have an automatic Note and are chasing a hydraulic leak or pedal issue, you may be looking for a brake master cylinder instead — worth double-checking before ordering.

Both years fall within the first-generation E11 Note (2006–2013), so there is a reasonable chance of interchange provided the engine codes match — the clutch hydraulics are closely tied to the engine and gearbox combination rather than the model year alone. Confirm your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker so they can match the donor car accurately. A mid-production ancillary or mounting change cannot be ruled out, so always confirm directly with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

The second-generation Note (E12, 2013 onwards) is a different platform, and the two generations should be treated as non-interchangeable without verification. The E12 generation also moved heavily towards CVT automatics for UK sales, making manual-gearbox cars — and therefore clutch master cylinders — much less common in that generation. If you have an E12 manual, confirm the engine code with your breaker and ask them to cross-reference it against the donor vehicle rather than assuming an E11 part will drop straight in.

Trim level makes no difference to clutch master cylinder fitment on the Nissan Note — the Visia, Acenta, and Tekna are all built on the same mechanical underpinnings and share the same clutch hydraulics for a given engine and gearbox combination. What matters is the engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and whether the car has a manual gearbox. Give the breaker your engine code rather than your trim badge and they will be able to find the right part.

Yes, engine type is one of the key factors here, and a diesel Note's clutch master cylinder may well differ from that on a petrol variant, so you should not mix them without checking. The most reliable way to ensure a match is to get your exact engine code from your V5 document or a VIN check and give it to the breaker alongside your registration. Breakers can then pull the part from a donor car with the same engine code, which is the safest basis for a used-part match.

The single most useful thing you can give a breaker is your engine code, which appears on your V5 logbook or can be retrieved via a VIN check — it tells them far more than the year or trim level alone. Also confirm that your car is a manual gearbox, since automatic and e-Power Notes do not have this part at all. Generation matters too, so note whether your car is an E11 (2006–2013) or E12 (2013 onwards) when you contact breakers through Findapart, and ask them to confirm the part against your registration before agreeing the sale.
