Reconditioned Peugeot 207 Gearbox

Did the 207's gearbox change between 2006 and 2015?

Yes, and significantly so. Over nine years of production, the 207 went through several engine families that did not always share the same gearbox. The earliest model years (2006–2008) relied mainly on petrol engine codes KFV, KFT, KFW (1.4) and NFU / TU5JP4 (1.6), paired with 5-speed manual gearboxes from the MA family. From 2008–2009 onwards, tightening emissions regulations brought in codes 5FW, 5FX, 5FY on the 1.6 petrol, with gearboxes whose internal ratios differ from those of the earlier 1.6 units. The vehicle's build date is therefore an essential first filter.

Diesel: four engine codes, one gearbox type — but not a single interchangeable part

On the HDi side, the 207 received the 1.4 HDi (codes 8HZ, 8HR) and the 1.6 HDi (codes 9HX, 9HZ, 9HP, 9HR). All are paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, but the ratios and casings differ between the 1.4 and 1.6 HDi: parts are not interchangeable between engine capacities. For the 1.4 HDi, a BMP5 (automated manual gearbox) version is also available in the listing; it is sold without the actuator or robot unit, which remains the installer's responsibility. The 9HR, introduced towards the end of production, corresponds to the final Euro 5 model years: checking the engine code stamped on the block is the only way to avoid an incorrect reference.

Key points to check when identifying your gearbox

A 1.6 petrol from 2006 and a 1.6 from 2012 carry different engine codes (NFU versus 5FW or 5FX) and gearboxes with distinct internals, even if they look similar from the outside. Likewise, the references in the listing — from 20CQ20 to 20DP27 — cover specific configurations: year, power output, engine code. Cross-referencing these three pieces of information prevents you from ordering the wrong part, particularly on the 1.4 petrol (codes TU3A included), where the final drive ratio can vary depending on whether the vehicle is an SW estate or a saloon.
