Second Hand Peugeot RCZ Sump

The RCZ was produced as a single generation running from 2010 to 2015, with a facelift arriving in 2013, so you are always working within one model run rather than across distinct generations. Whether a pre-facelift (2010–2012) sump crosses cleanly to a post-facelift (2013–2015) car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production. Your engine code, shown on your V5C or via a VIN check, is the most reliable detail to supply to the breaker.

Yes — the engine code is the single most important detail for sump fitment, sitting above model year or trim level. The RCZ was offered with a range of petrol engines including 1.6 THP units and the 1.6 THP 270 in the R variant, and each engine family will have its own sump design. Find your engine code on the V5C or through a VIN check and pass it to the breaker before agreeing a purchase.

Trim level — whether GT, THP 200, or the range-topping R — does not affect sump fitment; what matters is the engine fitted to your specific car. That said, the RCZ R uses the 1.6 THP 270 engine which may differ from the sump used on lower-output 1.6 THP variants, so always confirm the engine code rather than relying on the trim badge alone. Give the breaker your engine code and registration and they can match the correct unit.

The RCZ shares its 1.6 THP engine family with several other PSA group vehicles including the 308 and DS3, so there is a possibility of cross-model fitment on the sump. However, ancillary fittings, oil pick-up positioning, and sump depth can vary between applications even when the core engine code matches, so you must confirm compatibility with the breaker using both your engine code and registration. Never assume a PSA group engine code guarantees an identical sump across different models.

Yes — the RCZ was sold exclusively with petrol engines in the UK, but fuel type is still a key fitment filter because diesel and petrol sumps are not interchangeable, and if a breaker is pulling a sump from a different PSA group donor car it must also be petrol-engined. Confirm this with the breaker alongside your engine code to avoid being sent an incompatible unit. Providing your registration and engine code together is the safest approach.

The 2013 facelift marks a known production boundary within the RCZ's 2010–2015 run, and while the core engine codes may be the same on either side of that date, whether the sump and its associated mountings or fittings are identical across that boundary is something to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration. Supply your engine code — from your V5C or a VIN check — as this is more reliable than the year alone for establishing whether the part will suit your car. A good breaker will cross-reference both details before confirming fitment.
