Vauxhall Grandland Cylinder Head Replacement Parts

The Grandland (sold in the UK from 2017, with a facelift in 2021 that brought styling and trim updates) shares platform and engines across its production run, so the engine code is the critical factor rather than the model year alone. If your 2019 and 2022 vehicles share the same engine code — which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check — there is a strong basis for compatibility, but because the 2021 facelift can coincide with ancillary and mounting changes, you should confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

No — petrol and diesel cylinder heads are completely different components and are not interchangeable under any circumstances. Always make sure the fuel type of the donor vehicle matches yours exactly, and supply the breaker with your engine code to confirm they are quoting the correct head.

The cylinder head itself is not directly determined by gearbox type, but certain engine variants were paired exclusively with a particular gearbox in the Grandland range, meaning the engine code effectively ties the two together. Give the breaker your full engine code and registration so they can verify the donor vehicle is a true match and avoid any variant-specific differences.

Trim level — whether SE, Design, Sport Nav, Elite, or Ultimate — has no bearing on cylinder head fitment whatsoever, as the head follows the engine code, not the badge on the tailgate. A head from an SE and an Elite with the same engine code are mechanically the same part, though minor ancillary differences are always possible mid-production, so confirm against your registration with the breaker to be certain.

Both generations use the same broad engine family, so vehicles sharing an engine code either side of the 2021 facelift may well use the same cylinder head, but the facelift is a known production boundary where ancillary and mounting details can change. You should name the boundary to the breaker — pre-facelift versus post-facelift — and ask them to confirm compatibility against your specific registration rather than assuming the engine code alone is sufficient.

The single most important detail is your engine code, which appears on your V5C logbook or can be obtained from a VIN check — it tells the breaker far more than the year or trim level alone. You should also supply your fuel type, registration number, and whether your car is pre- or post-2021 facelift, as this helps the breaker cross-reference ancillary and mounting details and flag any coding considerations they are aware of.
