Peugeot 208 AC Compressor Replacement Parts

Both years fall within the first-generation 208 (2012–2019), so they share the same broad platform, but fitment really comes down to matching the engine code rather than the year alone — a 1.2 PureTech and a 1.6 THP from the same year will not share a compressor. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to get your exact engine code, then give that to the breaker so they can match it properly. Never assume fitment on year alone.

The first-generation 208 received a facelift in 2015, and while the engine family carried across, ancillary mounting points and bracket arrangements can change mid-production run — meaning a compressor from a pre-2015 car may or may not bolt straight onto a post-2015 car even with the same engine code. Name your engine code and registration when contacting a breaker and ask them to confirm against your specific build rather than just the year. Crossing that 2015 boundary is exactly the kind of detail a good breaker will check for you.

For an AC compressor, trim level makes no difference to fitment — the compressor follows the engine, not the badge, so an Active and a GT Line with the same engine code use the same unit. What may differ between trim levels is cosmetic or comfort equipment around the engine bay, but the compressor itself is the same mechanical part. Just confirm the engine code matches and let the breaker do the rest.

No, you should not cross fuel types when sourcing an AC compressor; diesel and petrol engines have different drive arrangements and the compressor fitment follows the engine code, which differs between fuel types. Always source from the same engine family and, where possible, the exact same engine code as your car. Give your breaker your full engine code from the V5 to avoid any mismatch.

Gearbox type can influence how ancillaries are mounted in some applications, so it is worth mentioning your gearbox type when contacting a breaker — but the bigger priority is matching the engine code exactly. Confirm with the breaker whether the gearbox type affects compressor fitment on your specific engine variant, as this is something they can verify against your registration. Do not rely on engine code alone if you are unsure whether the donor car had the same gearbox as yours.

Yes — the second-generation 208 launched in 2019 on a new platform (CMP), making it a completely different car from the first-generation (2012–2019) in terms of engines, architecture, and components. An AC compressor from a 2020 208 will not be a straight fit for a first-generation car, and you should make sure the breaker knows which generation you own. Stick to sourcing from the same generation and, crucially, the same engine code as your vehicle.
