Used cylinder heads vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Vauxhall Agila ran as a single generation from 2000 to 2004 (the A-series), then the Agila B replaced it from 2004 onwards, so a 2004 car could be either generation depending on exact build date — these two generations do not share the same cylinder head. The engine code is the critical factor here: if both cars share the same engine code, a match is more likely within the same generation, but confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Yes — for a mechanical component like a cylinder head, the engine code is the single most reliable guide, far more so than the model year alone. You can find your engine code on your V5C logbook or by running a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker will give you the best chance of a correct match. Never rely on year alone, as Vauxhall used several different engines across the Agila range.
Trim level — whether Club, Design, Expression, or any other — has no effect on cylinder head fitment whatsoever, as the head is determined entirely by the engine fitted, not the badge on the car. You may receive a head that looks slightly different cosmetically due to age or supplier, but mechanically what matters is matching the engine code. Confirm the engine code with the breaker and ignore the trim name entirely when sourcing this part.
No — petrol and diesel cylinder heads are completely different in design, compression ratio, and combustion chamber layout, so they are not interchangeable under any circumstances. Always confirm your fuel type alongside the engine code when contacting a breaker.
Gearbox type does not directly affect the cylinder head itself, so an automatic or manual Agila with the same engine code would use the same head. That said, always give the breaker your full registration and engine code so they can check whether there are any ancillary or mounting differences specific to your build — these mid-production changes are worth confirming rather than assuming.
The cylinder head itself is a mechanical component and does not require ECU pairing in the way that some electronic parts do, so coding is not typically a concern for the head alone. However, if any sensors or ancillary components come attached, whether those need matching to your vehicle's ECU or immobiliser is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as this can vary by build.
