Cheap Peugeot 208 Sump

The Peugeot 208 first generation ran from 2012 to 2019, so both years sit within the same generation, which is a good start. Fitment of the sump is driven by the engine code rather than the year, so you need to confirm both cars share the same engine code — you'll find this on the V5 or via a VIN check. If the engine codes match, a breaker should be able to advise confidently, but never assume without checking.

The first-generation 208 received a facelift in 2015, but for a mechanical part like the sump, the engine code matters far more than whether the car is pre- or post-facelift. If your pre-2015 donor car and your post-2015 car share the same engine code, fitment is very likely, but there can be ancillary or mounting changes introduced mid-production that aren't always obvious. Confirm the engine codes match and then run the registration past the breaker to be sure.

Trim level — whether that's Access, Active, Allure, or GT — does not affect which sump you need; the sump follows the engine, not the badge. What you might notice is that parts pulled from higher-spec cars can have different ancillary brackets or sensor connections depending on the exact engine variant, so the engine code is still the key detail to match. Confirm the engine code on your V5 and share it with the breaker rather than relying on trim name alone.

No — petrol and diesel engines are entirely different units with different sump designs, so a diesel sump will not fit a petrol engine and vice versa. Always make sure the fuel type of the donor car matches your own before ordering. Your engine code will confirm fuel type unambiguously, so share that with the breaker when requesting a quote.

The second-generation 208 launched in 2019 and uses a new platform with different engine configurations, so a sump from a Mk1 208 is very unlikely to cross over to a Mk2 208, and vice versa. Even where engine family names look similar across generations, internal and mounting dimensions can differ, meaning the engine code is essential for any cross-generation comparison. Treat a Mk1-to-Mk2 swap as unconfirmed and ask the breaker to check against your specific registration before purchasing.

A 1.2 petrol is a useful starting point, but Peugeot used more than one variant of the 1.2 petrol engine in the 208 over the years, and these can have different sump specifications. The engine code — found on your V5 logbook or via a VIN decoder — is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker, and it removes the guesswork entirely. Take two minutes to locate it before requesting quotes, as it will make matching the right part much faster and more reliable.
