Used Peugeot 106 Sump

The Peugeot 106 ran from 1991 to 2003, with a significant facelift in 1996 that updated the bodywork and some mechanical details, but the key fitment factor for the sump is the engine code, not which side of that 1996 boundary the car sits on. If a pre-1996 and post-1996 106 share the same engine code, the sump is very likely to be compatible, but you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations because ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production without a headline model update. Always have your engine code to hand — it's on your V5 or available via a VIN check.

The 106 GTi used the TU5J4 (1.6 16v) engine, which is a different unit from the smaller TU-series engines found in mainstream 106 variants, so the sump from a GTi will not be a straightforward swap onto a 1.1 or 1.4 106. Trim level itself does not affect sump fitment — what matters is the engine code, and in this case the engine codes are simply different between the GTi and the rest of the range. Match the engine code on your V5 to the donor car's engine code and confirm the fit with the breaker.

Yes, fuel type matters significantly — petrol and diesel engines are entirely different units and their sumps are not interchangeable. The 106 was available with petrol engines from the TU-series family as well as the 1.5 diesel, and each engine family has its own sump design. Always tell the breaker whether your car is petrol or diesel, and supply your engine code to make sure you're quoted the right part.

No — trim levels such as Zest, Meridian, Quiksilver, and XSi are cosmetic and equipment-based distinctions that have no bearing on the sump. Two 106s with the same engine code will use the same sump regardless of whether one is a basic Zest and the other is an XSi. Just focus on matching the engine code, and note that any cosmetic differences between donor and your car are irrelevant for this mechanical part.

The TU-series engines were used across several PSA models including the Saxo, and in principle the same engine code should mean the same sump, but mounting points and ancillary routing can differ between vehicle applications even when the core engine is shared. This is exactly the kind of cross-model interchange question where you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume compatibility. Giving the breaker the engine code from both vehicles is the quickest way to get a reliable answer.

The sump itself is attached to the engine block rather than the gearbox, so gearbox type — manual or the automated Sensodrive found on some later 106s — does not directly determine which sump you need. The engine code remains the primary factor, though it is worth mentioning your gearbox type to the breaker as it helps them identify the exact specification of the donor vehicle and rule out any ancillary differences. Confirm the final match with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
