Second Hand Peugeot 407 Sump

The Peugeot 407 ran from 2004 to 2011 as a single generation, with a facelift arriving in 2008, and the sump fitment is determined primarily by the engine code rather than the model year or facelift status. If the donor and recipient cars share the same engine code, the sump is very likely compatible, but whether Peugeot made any ancillary or mounting changes across the 2008 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Always quote your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — when requesting a quote.

A 2006 407 sits pre-facelift and a 2009 sits post-facelift (the facelift came in 2008), so they span a production boundary. If both cars carry the same engine code the sump is the mechanical component most likely to interchange, but confirm with the breaker against both registrations whether any mounting or sealing changes were introduced at that point. The engine code is the single most useful detail to have ready when you call.

Yes, fuel type matters significantly — a diesel sump and a petrol sump are not interchangeable because the engine architecture, capacity, and oil system layout differ between them. Within the diesel range the 407 carried several different HDi units with different engine codes, so even among diesels you need to match the specific code rather than just the fuel type. Supply your engine code to the breaker to make sure you get the right sump.

Trim level does not affect sump fitment on the 407; the sump follows the engine, not the badge. An S-spec car and an Executive-spec car fitted with the same engine code will use the same sump, so there is no need to specify trim when sourcing the part. You may find cosmetic differences on breaker-sourced parts such as paint or surface finish, but these have no bearing on fitment.

The engine sump itself is generally the same regardless of whether the 407 has a manual or automatic gearbox, because the sump sits on the engine and the gearbox is a separate unit. However, some automatic-gearbox installations can influence ancillary components near the sump area, so it is worth mentioning your gearbox type to the breaker when you enquire. As always, leading with your engine code gives the breaker the clearest basis for confirming the right part.

Body style — saloon, estate, or coupé — does not affect sump fitment because the sump is determined by the engine code, not the shape of the car. Provided the engine codes match, a sump from any 407 body style should be mechanically equivalent. Confirm this with the breaker against your registration, but body style is not something you need to worry about when searching for this part.
