Used crankshafts 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 Combo C ran from 2001 to 2011, while the Combo D ran from 2012 onwards, so a 2010 and a 2014 unit are from different generations with different engine families. The key detail is the engine code, which you can find on your V5 or via a VIN check — only if both vehicles share the exact same engine code is a cross-generation swap worth considering. Because this spans a known generation boundary, confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
No — the 1.3 CDTi and 1.7 CDTi are completely different engines with different crankshaft designs, stroke measurements, and dimensions, so the parts are not interchangeable. The engine code is the definitive guide here: supply the breaker with your exact engine code (from your V5 or a VIN check) to ensure you are quoted the correct unit. Never assume diesel-to-diesel compatibility without matching the engine code first.
No — trim level has no bearing on crankshaft fitment whatsoever. Whether your Combo is a basic van, a Crew Van, a Tour, or a Life, the crankshaft is determined entirely by the engine code, not by trim or body style. Give the breaker your engine code and fuel type and the trim name can be ignored for this part.
The crankshaft itself is internal to the engine and its core specification is driven by the engine code rather than whether the gearbox is manual or automatic. That said, gearbox type is still worth mentioning to the breaker because ancillary components at the rear of the engine can differ, and the breaker will want to confirm the donor vehicle's drivetrain matches yours. Always supply both your engine code and gearbox type when requesting a quote.
The engine code is the single most useful piece of information you can supply — it is stamped on the engine block and also listed on your V5 logbook or retrievable via a VIN check. Common engines in the Combo C of that era included the 1.3 CDTi (engine codes in the Z13DT/Z13DTH family) and the 1.7 CDTi (Z17DTH family), but always verify your specific code rather than relying on the displacement alone. Quote that exact code to the breaker and they can match the crankshaft to the correct engine variant with confidence.
No — petrol and diesel engines are fundamentally different in their internal architecture, compression ratios, and component dimensions, and their crankshafts are not interchangeable even if the vehicles are from the same year and generation. Fuel type is one of the primary fitment criteria for a crankshaft, alongside the engine code. Always match both the fuel type and the engine code when sourcing this part from a breaker.
