Used ac compressors 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:
The Peugeot 307 ran as a single generation from 2001 to 2008, with a facelift in 2005, so a 2003 and a 2006 car sit on either side of that facelift boundary. Engine code is the key factor here — if both cars share the same engine code, there is a reasonable chance the compressor will interchange, but ancillary mounting and bracket changes can occur across a facelift, so confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
No — diesel and petrol engines are mechanically very different, and the AC compressor is matched to the engine it drives, so a diesel HDi unit will not directly swap onto a petrol engine. Always supply your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) when asking a breaker for a quote, as this is the single most reliable way to match the correct compressor. Fuel type is a fundamental fitment filter here.
Trim level — whether your 307 is an S, SE, SR, or the SW estate body — does not affect which AC compressor you need, as this is an engine-driven mechanical component. The engine code and fuel type are what matter, so a compressor from an SE will fit an SW if the engine codes match. Bear in mind you may receive a unit with different cosmetic finish or bracket colour, but that has no bearing on function.
Your engine code is the most important detail you can supply — it overrides model year and trim when matching a compressor. You can find the engine code on your V5C registration document or by running a VIN check; common 307 codes include units from the EW and DW families for petrol and diesel respectively, but always quote your exact code rather than relying on the badge. This one piece of information will save you and the breaker a lot of back-and-forth.
The 307 facelift arrived in 2005, and while the basic engine families carried across, ancillary components including compressor mounting and fittings can differ between pre- and post-facelift cars. If the engine code on the donor and recipient car is identical, fitment is more likely, but crossing the 2005 facelift boundary means you should confirm the specific part number or mounting arrangement with the breaker against your registration before committing. Never assume fitment solely on year.
Gearbox type can affect ancillary component positioning and drive belt routing in some applications, so it is worth flagging whether your 307 is a manual or automatic when contacting a breaker. The engine code remains the primary fitment guide, but confirming gearbox type as well gives the breaker the full picture and reduces the risk of receiving an incompatible unit. Always cross-check both details before purchasing a used compressor.
