Vauxhall Adam Sump Replacement Parts

The Vauxhall Adam was produced as a single generation from 2013 to 2019, so there is no major generational boundary between those two years. Fitment of the sump depends primarily on the engine code rather than the model year, so if both cars share the same engine code the sump is likely compatible. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm the engine code, and verify the match with the breaker before buying.

The Vauxhall Adam was only offered with petrol engines in the UK, so diesel is not a concern for this model. Even within the petrol range, different engine codes such as the 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre units use different sumps, so the engine code is the detail that matters most. Always confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker when requesting a quote.

Trim level has no bearing on sump fitment — Jam, Glam, Slam, and any other Adam trim are purely cosmetic distinctions and do not alter the engine or its components. What matters is the engine code, which is the same across trims fitted with the same unit. Bear in mind that a sump from a scrapped Adam may carry surface cosmetic differences such as minor casting variations, but confirm any such details with the breaker against your registration.

The most reliable way is to find your engine code, which appears on your V5 logbook or can be retrieved via a VIN check, and supply that code directly to the breaker. The sump follows the engine, not the badge or trim, so the engine code is far more useful than the model year alone. Give the breaker your full registration as well so they can cross-reference and confirm fitment before you commit.

The Adam ran through to 2019 without a separate facelift generation, so a 2018 car sits within the same single production run as earlier models. Compatibility still comes down to the engine code rather than the year, and minor ancillary or mounting changes can occasionally occur mid-production without a formal facelift. Confirm the engine codes match and check with the breaker against your specific registration to be sure.

Gearbox type does not directly affect sump fitment on most applications, as the sump is an engine component rather than part of the transmission. The engine code remains the primary fitment factor for the sump regardless of whether the car is manual or automatic. Confirm this with the breaker when you enquire, as they can verify against your registration that no variant-specific differences apply.
