Second Hand Nissan Pulsar Clutch Master Cylinder

Only manual-gearbox Pulsars have a clutch master cylinder — automatics have no clutch pedal and therefore no clutch master cylinder at all. The Nissan Pulsar (C13, 2014–2018) was offered with both manual and automatic gearbox options depending on engine and trim, so you need to confirm your car has a manual gearbox before searching for this part. If your Pulsar is an automatic and you are chasing a fluid or pedal issue, you are more likely looking at brake master cylinder or transmission components instead.

Both years fall within the same single Nissan Pulsar generation (C13, 2014–2018), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility on manual variants with the same engine code, but mid-production ancillary or mounting changes cannot be ruled out across that production span. The engine code is the most reliable matching detail — check your V5 or run a VIN check to get it, then confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration. Never assume fitment is guaranteed on age alone.

Trim level — whether Acenta, N-Connecta, or Tekna — does not affect clutch master cylinder fitment; this is a mechanical part that follows the engine code and gearbox type, not the badge or specification level. What matters is that both cars share the same engine code and are both manual gearbox vehicles. You may find cosmetic or interior differences between trim levels on a car you are buying from a breaker, but these have no bearing on whether the clutch master cylinder will interchange.

It is unlikely, as different engine families can require different clutch hydraulic specifications, and the engine code is the primary matching factor for this part. A 1.2 DIG-T petrol and a 1.5 dCi diesel are entirely different engine families even within the same C13 generation. You should source a cylinder from a car with the same engine code as yours — confirm that code from your V5 or a VIN check and pass it directly to the breaker.

The Nissan Pulsar C13 did not receive a widely documented distinct facelift with a separate model designation during its 2014–2018 UK production run, so there is no confirmed hard facelift boundary to navigate in the way some models have. However, minor running changes within a production run can affect ancillary parts and mountings, and whether a cylinder from one production year fits another should be confirmed with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assumed. Supplying your engine code and registration to the breaker is the safest approach.

The single most useful detail you can give a breaker is your engine code, which appears on your V5 logbook or can be found via a VIN check — this matters far more than the year or trim level alone. You should also confirm your gearbox is manual, since automatic Pulsars do not have this part at all. Give the breaker your full registration alongside the engine code and let them verify the part number matches before you commit.
