A used throttle body 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:
It depends on the engine. Petrol-engined 308s do have a throttle body, as they use one to control airflow into the engine. Most diesel engines on the 308 do not have a conventional throttle body in the same way, so if you have a diesel variant, confirm with the breaker what you actually need before ordering.
The Peugeot 308 Mk1 ran from 2007 to 2013, so both years sit within the same generation, which is a promising start. However, fitment depends primarily on the engine code, not the year alone, so make sure both vehicles share the same engine code before assuming they are compatible. Supply your registration and engine code to the breaker so they can verify the part against their stock.
The Peugeot 308 Mk2 launched in 2013 and brought significant engine and platform changes compared to the Mk1, which ran from 2007 to 2013, so crossing that generation boundary is a genuine risk. Even if the engine displacement looks the same on paper, the engine codes are often different between generations and the throttle body specification may not match. Route this directly to the breaker with your registration number and engine code from both vehicles before purchasing.
No, the trim level does not affect throttle body fitment - Active, Allure, and GT trims on the 308 use the same throttle body as any other trim fitted with the same engine. What matters is the engine code, which you can find on your V5 or via a VIN check. Tell the breaker your engine code and they will match the correct unit regardless of what trim badge is on the car.
Some 308 throttle bodies may require calibration or adaptation using diagnostic equipment after fitting, as the ECU may need to learn the new unit's position sensor. Whether your specific vehicle requires coding is something you should confirm with the breaker and your fitting garage rather than assuming it is plug-and-play. It is worth factoring potential diagnostic costs into your budget before you buy.
The single most important detail is your engine code, which you can find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check - this tells the breaker far more than the year or trim level alone. You should also provide the fuel type, registration number, and year of the vehicle. The body style makes no difference to throttle body fitment, so there is no need to mention whether you have a hatchback or estate.
