Nissan NV400 Oil Cooler Replacement Parts

Yes, the NV400 is fitted with an oil cooler on its diesel engines — all retail variants sold in the UK used diesel power, so oil coolers are a standard feature across the range. The cooler is part of the engine's thermal management system and is found on the 2.3-litre dCi engines that power every NV400 sold here. If you're sourcing a used one, the engine code is the critical detail to match.

The NV400 uses Renault-sourced 2.3-litre dCi diesel engines, and the engine code stamped on your block — or shown on your V5C or a VIN check — is the single most important detail to give your breaker. Common codes include M9T variants, but output levels (100hp, 125hp, 135hp, 145hp, 170hp) can mean internal differences that affect which oil cooler fits. Always quote your exact engine code rather than just the power output.

The NV400 launched in 2011 and received a facelift around 2015, and while the 2.3 dCi engine family continued across both phases, ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production in ways that aren't always publicly documented. You should name the generation boundary — pre-2015 or post-2015 — when contacting a breaker, and ask them to confirm compatibility against your specific registration before purchasing. Never assume a direct swap across a facelift year without that check.

No, trim level does not affect oil cooler fitment on the NV400 — the oil cooler is determined entirely by the engine code and output level, not by whether your van is an SE, SE Sport, Combi, or any other specification. You may find cosmetic or interior differences between trims, but the mechanical drivetrain components follow the engine, not the badge. Give your breaker the engine code and they'll identify the right part regardless of trim.

Gearbox type can be relevant because some engine and gearbox combinations influence cooling system configurations, so it's worth mentioning to your breaker whether your van is a manual or the twin-clutch automatic. In most cases the engine code will be the dominant factor, but supplying your full registration or VIN alongside the engine code means the breaker can cross-reference everything and avoid sending you a part that doesn't match your setup.

The NV400 shares its platform, engine family, and many components with the Renault Master and Vauxhall Movano, so parts from those vehicles are often directly interchangeable — many breakers will cross-reference across all three nameplates. The key is still to match the engine code exactly, as differences in output tune or build date can affect which cooler fits even within the same engine family. Ask your breaker to confirm the part number matches before buying, and supply your registration or VIN for the most reliable cross-reference.
