What to check when buying a used Peugeot 308 cylinder head
A used cylinder head that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Will a cylinder head from a 2012 Peugeot 308 fit my 2015 308?
The 308 Mk1 ran from 2007 to 2013, and the 308 Mk2 launched in 2013, so a 2012 head and a 2015 head come from different generations with different engine families — direct interchange is unlikely. The critical thing is the engine code: even within a generation, different engine codes mean different heads, so supply your exact code (found on your V5 or a VIN check) to the breaker rather than relying on year alone. A breaker can then confirm whether any specific unit crosses that Mk1-to-Mk2 boundary safely.
Does the engine code really matter, or can I just match the year and fuel type?
Engine code matters above everything else for a cylinder head — two 308s from the same year can carry different engines with heads that will not interchange. Fuel type narrows it down but is not enough on its own, as Peugeot used several petrol and diesel variants across each generation. Pull the engine code from your V5 or ask a breaker to run your registration, and give that code when requesting a quote.
Does the cylinder head from a 308 Active fit a 308 Allure or GT Line?
Trim level — whether that is Access, Active, Allure, GT Line, or GT — does not affect which cylinder head is fitted; the head follows the engine code, not the badge. A 308 Active and a 308 Allure running the same engine code will use the same head. When buying used you may find ancillary brackets or sensors differ between build dates, so confirm the exact specification with the breaker against your registration to avoid surprises.
I have a 308 Mk2 — did it get a facelift, and does that change which cylinder head I need?
The 308 Mk2 received a facelift in 2017, refreshing the styling and some equipment levels. For the cylinder head specifically, what matters is whether the engine code changed at that point for your particular variant, not the facelift itself. Name your engine code when contacting a breaker and ask them to confirm whether a pre-facelift or post-facelift donor unit is compatible with your registration.
Can I use a cylinder head from a Peugeot 308 SW estate on my standard 308?
Body style — hatchback or SW estate — has no bearing on cylinder head fitment; the head is determined entirely by the engine code. A SW and a hatchback 308 sharing the same engine code will use the same head. Focus your search on matching the engine code and confirm the full specification with the breaker before purchasing.
Does the gearbox type — manual or automatic — affect which cylinder head fits my 308?
The gearbox type does not directly determine the cylinder head specification, but it can indicate which engine variant is fitted, as some engines were paired exclusively with certain gearboxes in the 308 range. The engine code remains the definitive guide, so always quote that alongside your gearbox type when asking a breaker for a quote. Providing both details gives the breaker the best chance of locating a correctly matched used head.
