Used Peugeot 2008 Engine

Both years fall within the first-generation Peugeot 2008, which ran from 2013 to 2019, so on paper they share the same engine family. However, the most important thing to match is the engine code, not just the year — find yours on your V5C or via a VIN check and give it to the breaker. Ancillary fittings and mounting brackets can vary within a generation, so always confirm the exact compatibility against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

The Peugeot 2008 first generation received a facelift in 2016, splitting the generation into pre-facelift (2013–2016) and facelift (2016–2019) models. The core engine unit may share the same code across that boundary, but whether ancillary components, mounts, and wiring are a straight swap is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration. Supply the engine code from your V5C — that single detail will tell the breaker far more than the year alone.

No, trim level does not affect engine fitment — Active, Allure, GT Line, and GT trims all used the same engine options available for their year, and the same engine will fit regardless of which trim your car is. What does matter is the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, so match those rather than the trim badge. You may find minor cosmetic or ancillary differences between donor and recipient cars, but the breaker will focus on the mechanical spec, not the trim name.

No — a diesel engine cannot be swapped into a petrol Peugeot 2008, or vice versa, as the engines, management systems, and ancillaries are entirely different. You must match fuel type as a minimum, and within that match the engine code exactly. Always give the breaker both your fuel type and your engine code to make sure they quote the right unit.

Yes, gearbox type is relevant because the engine may have different ancillary components or flywheel configuration depending on whether it was mated to a manual or an automatic gearbox. You should tell the breaker whether your car is manual or automatic so they can source an engine prepared for the correct transmission. The engine code from your V5C remains the most reliable way to ensure a like-for-like match.

The second-generation Peugeot 2008 launched in 2019 and represents a completely new platform, so its engines are not a straightforward swap into the first-generation (2013–2019) car. Engine codes, mounting points, and management systems differ significantly between the two generations. Stick to sourcing an engine from the same generation and matching the engine code on your V5C — a good breaker will use your registration to confirm compatibility before any sale.
