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:
The Peugeot 2008 first generation ran from 2013 to 2019, so both years sit within the same generation, which is a promising start. However, fitment of a cylinder head depends primarily on the engine code rather than the model year, so you need to confirm both your engine code and the donor car's engine code match exactly — you'll find yours on your V5 or via a VIN check. Ancillary and mounting details can change at various points within a generation, so always confirm the specific compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying.
The Peugeot 2008 moved into its second generation in 2020, so a cylinder head from the 2013–2019 first generation is very unlikely to cross that boundary without issues. Engine families changed significantly between generations, meaning even a visually similar engine code may have different specifications. Name the generation boundary to the breaker, give them your registration, and let them confirm whether any crossover is possible.
Yes — fuel type is critical for cylinder head compatibility because petrol and diesel engines are fundamentally different in design and combustion requirements. A diesel cylinder head cannot substitute for a petrol one, or vice versa, regardless of year or generation. Always tell the breaker both your fuel type and your engine code to ensure they're quoting you the correct unit.
Trim level makes no difference whatsoever to cylinder head fitment on the Peugeot 2008 — Active, Allure, and GT Line are cosmetic and equipment grades, not mechanical ones. Two cars in different trims but with the same engine code will use the same cylinder head. Just note that other ancillary parts you might receive with the head, such as covers or brackets, could have cosmetic differences between trim specifications.
The single most important piece of information is your engine code, which you'll find stamped on the engine block, listed on your V5, or obtained through a VIN check — this overrides model year and badge in determining fitment. You should also supply your fuel type, gearbox type (manual or automatic), and the exact year of your vehicle. Providing your full registration number allows the breaker to verify all of this against their database and confirm compatibility before you commit to a purchase.
The gearbox type itself does not directly affect the cylinder head specification, since the head sits on the engine rather than the transmission. Fitment is determined by engine code and fuel type, so if the engine codes match, the gearbox type is unlikely to be the deciding factor. That said, always confirm with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary components or sensors associated with the head could vary depending on the full vehicle specification.
