Used Peugeot 208 Clutch

Both years fall within the first-generation 208 (2012–2019), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but the engine code is the critical factor — clutch specifications follow the engine, not the model year, so you need matching engine codes for a reliable fit. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your engine code before ordering. Ask the breaker to cross-reference the donor engine code against yours, as ancillary details can vary within a generation.

The second-generation 208 launched in 2019 on a new PSA CMP platform with different engines and a revised transmission family, so a clutch from the first-generation (2012–2019) car is very unlikely to cross over. Engine codes changed significantly between generations, and the clutch is sized and splined to the specific engine and gearbox pairing. Confirm against your registration with the breaker rather than assuming any crossover.

A conventional friction clutch exists on Peugeot 208 variants fitted with a manual gearbox, which covers a large proportion of the range across both generations. Automatic or EAT-gearbox versions use a torque converter or wet clutch pack instead, and the fully electric e-208 has no clutch at all. Make sure you know your gearbox type before searching, and the engine code and gearbox code together will help the breaker find the correct unit.

Trim level — whether Active, Allure, GT Line, or GT — does not determine clutch fitment on the 208; what matters is the engine code and gearbox type. A 1.2 PureTech manual in an Active and the same engine-and-gearbox combination in a GT Line will use the same clutch. Focus your search on matching engine codes and confirm with the breaker, and don't be put off by cosmetic differences between donor and recipient cars.

The 208 received a facelift in 2015, but this was primarily a cosmetic and trim update rather than a mechanical overhaul, so the engine family carried over. If your 2013 donor car shares the same engine code as your 2017 car, compatibility is plausible, but confirm with the breaker against both registrations as there can be mid-production changes to ancillary components that are not always visible from the year alone.

The most important detail is your engine code, which you can find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check — this matters more than the year or trim level for clutch fitment. You should also confirm whether your car has a manual gearbox, and if possible supply the gearbox code too. Your registration plate will allow the breaker to cross-reference the full spec and flag any fitment concerns before you commit.
