Nissan Primera Dual Mass Flywheel Replacement Parts

Yes, some variants of the Nissan Primera were fitted with a dual mass flywheel, but not all of them — it depends heavily on the engine. The 2.2-litre dCi diesel engine (engine code YD22DDTi), found in the P12 generation (2002–2008), is the variant most associated with a dual mass flywheel, as this type of flywheel is common on higher-torque diesel units of that era. Petrol Primera engines typically used a conventional single-mass flywheel, so if your car is petrol-engined you are unlikely to need a dual mass flywheel at all — confirm with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

Both years fall within the P12 generation (2002–2008), so provided the engine code matches — most likely YD22DDTi on the diesel — there is a reasonable chance of compatibility. However, ancillary or mounting changes can occur mid-production even within a single generation, so you should confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and quote it to the breaker rather than relying on year alone. Never assume fitment purely on year without that cross-reference.

Trim level makes no difference to dual mass flywheel fitment on the Primera — parts like this follow the engine code, not the badge or specification level. S, SE, SVE, and Sport trims that share the same engine code will use the same flywheel. Focus your search on confirming the engine code rather than the trim name.

The P11 and P12 are distinct generations with different engines and gearbox assemblies, so a flywheel from a P12 (2002–2008) is very unlikely to be a straight swap into a P11 (1996–2002). Beyond the generation boundary, diesel engine availability and specification also differed between these two generations. Confirm your engine code with the breaker and do not attempt to cross this generation boundary without their explicit verification.

Almost certainly not; petrol Primera engines, such as the 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0-litre units, were generally fitted with conventional single-mass flywheels rather than dual mass units. If your flywheel is worn or damaged, what you are most likely looking for is a standard single-mass flywheel matched to your specific petrol engine code. Quote your engine code to the breaker and they will be able to confirm which type your car uses.

The most important detail you can supply is the engine code, which you will find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check — for the Primera diesel this is most commonly YD22DDTi, but quoting the exact code removes any ambiguity. You should also tell the breaker your gearbox type, the year of your car, and your registration number so they can cross-reference against their stock. Never rely on year or trim name alone, as these do not guarantee the correct part.
