Can I use a newer Hyundai i30 engine?
Would I be able to use Hyundai i30 2013 petrol 1.4 engine to Hyundai i30 2008 petrol 1.4 engine ?
Our answer:
Hi Montasir,
Assuming you are asking can you replace the older engine with the newer one: it would certainly be physically possible, and the engine codes are actually the same between those model years for the 1.4, but there's very likely to be differences in the wiring looms and other bits and pieces, including the ECU. Be prepared for it to be a bit of a headache.
