Peugeot RCZ Radiator Replacement Parts

The RCZ ran as a single generation from 2010 to 2015, with a facelift arriving in 2013, so a 2011 unit and a 2014 unit sit either side of that facelift boundary. Engine code is the most important factor here, so if both cars share the same engine code the radiator may well interchange, but you should confirm with the breaker against your registration whether any ancillary or mounting changes were introduced at the 2013 facelift. Never assume fitment without that check.

Yes, petrol and diesel engines run different cooling requirements and the radiators are not the same part, so a 1.6 THP unit will not suit a 2.0 HDi and vice versa. Always tell the breaker your fuel type and, ideally, your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check, as that is the single most reliable way to ensure you get the right radiator. Quoting your registration as well allows the breaker to cross-reference against their stock accurately.

Trim level alone does not determine which radiator is fitted to an RCZ — what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, not whether the car is badged GT or a lower trim. Both trim levels were available with the same engine options, so if two cars share the same engine code the radiator should be the same part. Cosmetic trim differences between GT and standard models have no bearing on cooling system components.

The 2010 RCZ was the first year of the single-generation model, and while the core platform continued through to 2015, minor production changes can occur early in a model's life. Your engine code is the most reliable starting point, so pull that from your V5 and give it to the breaker alongside your registration, and they can confirm whether a unit from a later build year will fit your car. Do not assume a direct swap without that confirmation.

It can do, because some automatic gearboxes use a transmission oil cooler integrated into or alongside the main radiator, meaning the radiator spec can differ from a manual-gearbox car with the same engine. Tell the breaker whether your RCZ has a manual or automatic gearbox as well as your engine code, and they will be able to match the correct unit. Quoting your registration gives them the quickest route to confirming the right part for your exact build.

The RCZ shares PSA group underpinnings and some engine families with other Peugeot models, so there is a possibility of crossover, but the RCZ has its own bodyshell and packaging which can affect how a radiator mounts and connects. Engine code matching is a good starting point, but you must confirm with the breaker that the specific unit from a donor car is compatible with the RCZ's mounting points and pipe configuration. Do not fit a part from a different model without that verification.
