Used radiators 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:
Both years sit within the first-generation 208, which ran from 2012 to 2019, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes match. The engine code is the single most important detail here — a radiator from an identically-coded car is your best starting point. Supply your engine code to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference it against their donor vehicle before buying.
The first-generation 208 received a facelift in 2015, and while the engine range carried over largely unchanged, mounting brackets and ancillary connections can differ across that boundary. Name the boundary to your breaker — pre-2015 versus 2015-onwards — and ask them to confirm fitment against your specific registration and engine code rather than assuming the years alone are enough.
No — fuel type directly affects radiator specification, so a diesel unit is unlikely to be a straight swap for a petrol car and vice versa. Cooling demands differ between the two fuel types, and the connections and sizing can vary accordingly. Always tell the breaker your fuel type and engine code together to make sure you get the correct unit.
Gearbox type can affect radiator fitment because automatic-gearbox cars sometimes use a radiator with an integrated transmission oil cooler that manual cars do not have. Give the breaker both your engine code and gearbox type so they can match the correct specification rather than just going on the engine alone.
Trim level — whether Active, Allure, GT, or any other — does not affect radiator fitment; the cooling system follows the engine and gearbox, not the badge or equipment level. The breaker may source a radiator from any trim variant provided the engine code and gearbox type match yours. Be aware that ancillary brackets or pipes on the donor car might look slightly different cosmetically, so confirm the full specification with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Body style does not govern radiator fitment — the engine code and gearbox type are what matter, not whether the donor car is a three-door or five-door. A radiator from an identically-specified engine and gearbox combination should be the correct unit regardless of which body style it came from. Confirm with the breaker using your engine code and registration to be certain before purchasing.
