Used crankshafts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Every variant of the Nissan Note sold in the UK has a crankshaft — it is a conventionally engineered internal combustion engine component found in all petrol and diesel versions of the car. The Note has never been sold in the UK as a fully electric vehicle, so all examples have a crankshaft at the heart of the engine. Whether you have the first-generation Note (2006–2013) or the second-generation (2013–2019), a crankshaft will be present.
Both years fall within the first-generation Note (2006–2013), but fitment depends primarily on the engine code, not the year alone — a crankshaft from the 1.6 petrol (HR16DE) will not interchange with one from the 1.4 petrol (CR14DE) or the 1.5 diesel (K9K), even within the same generation. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your exact engine code before approaching a breaker. Sharing the engine code with the breaker is the single most reliable way to establish whether a specific unit will fit.
The first and second-generation Notes used different engine families, so a crankshaft crossing that 2013 generation boundary is very unlikely to be compatible. The engine code is the definitive guide here — confirm your code from the V5 or a VIN check and share it with the breaker, who can cross-reference it against the donor vehicle's code. Do not assume compatibility across that generation change without the breaker confirming it against your registration.
Trim level makes no difference whatsoever to crankshaft compatibility — the Visia, Acenta, and Tekna are all cosmetic and equipment grades that share the same engines. What matters is the engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and the year of manufacture, not what badges or interior features the car came with. Tell the breaker your engine code and they will be able to match the correct unit regardless of trim.
No — the 1.5 dCi diesel (K9K engine code) and the 1.6 petrol (HR16DE engine code) are entirely different engine families with different crankshafts that will not interchange. Always confirm the exact engine code from your V5 or a VIN check before requesting a quote, as fuel type and engine family are the primary fitment factors for this part. A breaker will need to match engine code to engine code to supply a compatible crankshaft.
The most important thing is your engine code, which you can find on your V5 registration document or via a VIN check — this tells the breaker exactly which engine family your crankshaft must come from. Your 2014 Note sits in the early part of the second generation (2013–2019), so make sure the breaker confirms the donor vehicle's engine code matches yours rather than just the model year. Supply your full registration number alongside the engine code so the breaker can verify all the details against your specific vehicle.
