Peugeot 106 Flywheel Replacement Parts

A flywheel exists on all Peugeot 106 variants fitted with a manual gearbox, which covers the vast majority of 106s sold in the UK. It is not fitted to any automatic-gearbox 106 (those use a torque converter instead), so the first thing to confirm is that your car has a manual gearbox. Provided you have a manual 106, sourcing a used flywheel is straightforward through a breaker.

The Peugeot 106 ran in two main phases: Phase 1 from 1991 to 1996 and Phase 2 from 1996 to 2004, and the engine range changed noticeably between them. Because flywheel fitment follows the engine code rather than the phase, a flywheel from a Phase 1 car may or may not suit a Phase 2 car depending on whether both cars share the same engine code. Supply your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) to the breaker and ask them to match it directly rather than going by phase alone.

Engine code matters above everything else for a flywheel, because even within the same fuel type and year range the 106 used several different engines with different flywheel bolt patterns, diameters, and tooth counts. Year and fuel type help narrow things down but are not sufficient on their own. Always give the breaker your engine code — it is stamped on the engine block and also listed on your V5 — to get the right match.

Trim level (XR, XN, Rallye, GTi, and so on) does not in itself determine flywheel fitment — the engine code does. The 106 GTi used the TU5J4 (1.6 16v) engine, which is a different unit from the smaller-capacity engines found in XR and XN models, so a flywheel from those trims will not be the correct part for a GTi. Confirm the engine code on both the donor and your car with the breaker to ensure compatibility.

No — diesel and petrol flywheels are not interchangeable on the 106; they are matched to their respective engines and differ in size, bolt pattern, and tooth count. The 106 diesel used the 1.5 and 1.4 HDi-type units, all with their own specific flywheels, completely separate from the petrol TU-series units. Always specify your fuel type and engine code to the breaker to avoid being sent the wrong part.

Both years fall within Phase 2 (1996–2004), so they share the same generation, but fitment still depends on whether the two cars have the same engine code rather than the production year alone. If the engine codes match, there is a reasonable chance the flywheels will interchange, but confirm with the breaker against both registrations as there can be ancillary or specification changes within a generation that are not always straightforward to pin down. Providing your engine code is the fastest way to get a reliable answer from the breaker.
