Second Hand Nissan Note Throttle Body

Yes, petrol-engined Nissan Notes use a throttle body as part of their fuel and air management system, so this is a genuine part for those variants. However, if your Note is a diesel, it does not have a conventional throttle body in the same sense — diesels use a different air management arrangement, so a throttle body is not what you need. Check your V5 or a VIN check to confirm whether your engine is petrol or diesel before requesting quotes.

The Nissan Note ran in two main UK generations — the first generation (E11) from 2006 to 2013, and the second generation (E12) from 2013 onwards — and these are built on different platforms with different engine families, so a throttle body from a first-generation car is very unlikely to fit a second-generation car. Even within each generation, the engine code is the critical detail, as different engines use different throttle bodies even if the car looks similar. Supply your engine code (found on the V5 or a VIN check) when requesting quotes so the breaker can match the part accurately.

For a mechanical component like a throttle body, trim level makes no difference to fitment — what matters is the engine code, not whether the car was an Acenta, Tekna, Visia, or any other grade. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the engine bay between trim levels, but the throttle body itself is determined by the engine, not the badge. Confirm the engine code with your breaker and trim can be disregarded entirely.

The E11 Note received a facelift around 2009, but for a mechanical part like a throttle body, what drives compatibility is the engine code rather than whether the car is pre- or post-facelift. That said, ancillary changes and minor mounting differences can occur across a mid-production update, so you should confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker rather than assuming a pre-facelift unit will drop straight in. Give the breaker your full engine code alongside the year for the most reliable match.

In most cases the throttle body itself is matched to the engine rather than the gearbox, so whether your Note has a manual or CVT automatic transmission should not change which throttle body fits. However, some engine management setups can have subtle differences depending on gearbox configuration, so it is worth mentioning your gearbox type to the breaker when requesting a quote just to be safe. The engine code remains the most important detail to supply.

Whether a used throttle body needs any ECU pairing, relearning procedure, or immobiliser coding after fitting is something you should confirm directly with your fitting garage and the breaker before purchasing, as this can vary depending on the exact engine management system fitted to your car. This is not something that can be answered reliably without knowing the specific part and vehicle combination. A good breaker will be able to advise based on your registration, and your mechanic should be consulted about any calibration steps required after fitment.
