Choosing the right used Nissan Pulsar cylinder head
Used cylinder heads 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:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
What engine code do I need to find a matching cylinder head for my Nissan Pulsar?
The engine code is the single most important detail for a cylinder head match on the Pulsar, overriding year, trim, or body style. You'll find it on your V5C or by running a VIN check, and it's the first thing any breaker will ask for. Always supply it upfront to avoid being quoted a head that won't fit.
Will a cylinder head from a 2015 Nissan Pulsar fit my 2017 model?
The Nissan Pulsar (C13) ran from 2014 to 2018 as a single generation in the UK, so a 2015 and a 2017 car both sit within that same generation. If the engine codes match, fitment is likely, but ancillary or mounting changes can occur mid-production, so confirm the specific application with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
Does the cylinder head from a Nissan Pulsar N-Tec fit a Pulsar Acenta or Tekna?
Trim level — whether Acenta, N-Tec, or Tekna — does not affect which cylinder head is fitted; what matters is the engine code and fuel type. A petrol N-Tec and a petrol Acenta sharing the same engine code will use the same head, so don't pay a premium or walk away from a head simply because the donor trim differs. The breaker may supply ancillary parts that look slightly different due to trim-related engine dress, but the core head itself follows the engine, not the badge.
Is there a difference between the diesel and petrol Pulsar cylinder heads?
Yes — fuel type fundamentally determines cylinder head design, and a diesel head and a petrol head are not interchangeable under any circumstances. The Pulsar was offered with both petrol and diesel engines in the UK, so always confirm your fuel type alongside the engine code when requesting quotes. Mixing these up is one of the most common and costly breaker-yard mistakes.
Does the gearbox type — manual or automatic — affect which cylinder head I need for my Pulsar?
The gearbox type itself does not change the cylinder head specification, but it can indicate which engine variant you have, since not all Pulsar engines were offered with both gearbox options. The engine code remains the definitive guide, and two cars with the same engine code but different gearboxes will take the same head. Confirm the engine code regardless, as it removes any ambiguity.
Can I use a cylinder head from a pre-facelift Nissan Pulsar on a later car in the same generation?
The Nissan Pulsar C13 generation ran from 2014 to 2018 in the UK; if there were mid-cycle running changes affecting the cylinder head or its ancillaries, these would not always align with a clear facelift date. Whether a head from an earlier C13 crosses cleanly to a later C13 is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as mounting or ancillary differences can exist without a named facelift to mark the boundary.
