Used Peugeot 508 Gearbox

The Peugeot 508 first generation ran from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift in 2014, so both years sit within the same generation — but crossing that 2014 facelift boundary means ancillary and mounting details may have changed mid-production. Fitment is primarily driven by engine code rather than year alone, so make sure you supply your exact engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) when getting quotes. Confirm with the breaker that the donor unit matches your registration before buying.

No — the Peugeot 508 second generation launched in 2018 and is a substantially different car, with different engines, a new platform, and incompatible gearbox specifications. A unit from the first generation (2011–2018) will not cross over to a second-generation car. Always quote your engine code and registration to the breaker so they can source from the correct generation.

Trim level — whether Active, Allure, GT, or any other — does not determine gearbox fitment; what matters is your engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and whether the car has a manual or automatic transmission. A gearbox from an Active-spec car can be mechanically correct for a GT-spec car if the engine code and gearbox type match, though cosmetic or ancillary differences unrelated to the gearbox itself may exist between trims. Confirm the match against your registration with the breaker.

The single most useful detail is your engine code, which you can find on your V5 logbook or by running a VIN check — it tells the breaker exactly which mechanical variant you have, far more reliably than just quoting the year or badge. You should also confirm fuel type (petrol or diesel), gearbox type (manual or automatic), and your full registration. ECU pairing and immobiliser coding are separate questions to raise directly with the breaker, as these depend on your specific vehicle.

Petrol and diesel variants of the Peugeot 508 use different gearboxes matched to their respective engines, and the two are not interchangeable even if the car looks identical from the outside. Your engine code will make clear which fuel type and gearbox family applies to your car. Always supply your engine code and fuel type when requesting quotes from breakers.

The 2014 facelift marks a production boundary within the first-generation 508 (2011–2018), and while core gearbox internals may be shared across that generation for a given engine code, mounting points and ancillary components can vary between pre- and post-facelift builds. The engine code is still the primary fitment indicator, but crossing the 2014 boundary makes it essential to confirm compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration. Do not assume fitment without that check.
