Symptom Finder: Known Weak Points
| What you see or hear | Check first |
|---|---|
| Whine when turning, or heavy steering at low speed | The hydraulic steering pump, fluid level and pressure hoses. Look for leaks at the hose joints first, then order the pump or hose by OE number. |
| Squeal from the engine bay on start-up or at full lock | The accessory drive belt and tensioner, which also drive the steering pump. Check the belt for glazing or cracks before you replace the pump. |
| Judder when pulling away, or harsh low-speed shifts on a dual-clutch car | The wet dual-clutch and the condition and level of its fluid. Order only wet-spec fluid and parts, matched by OE number. |
| Clutch slipping or a heavy pedal on a manual car | The clutch, release bearing and flywheel on the manual 1.5. Order them by OE number, ideally as a set. |
| Engine warning light with rough running or higher fuel use | Start with the lambda sensors, then the spark plugs and coils. Match the sensors to the car's emission build by OE number. |
| Parking brake not holding the car on a slope | The parking brake mechanism and rear calipers. Check the adjustment first, then order the caliper to suit the parking brake fitted. |
| A new bumper or lamp does not line up | The car may be from the other side of the August 2018 facelift. Read the build date on the identification plate and order the matching part. |

About BYD Song Parts
The BYD Song on this page is the original petrol Song, a five-seat compact SUV launched in October 2015 and later sold as the Song Classic. It drives the front wheels through a turbocharged petrol engine, either a 1,497 cc 1.5 or a 2.0, paired with a six-speed manual or a six-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. Its parts are therefore those of a conventional petrol car: oil, filters, spark plugs, emission sensors and either clutch or dual-clutch hardware. The power steering is hydraulic and driven off the engine. The body changed at the facelift of August 2018, which brought a new front, LED lights, a longer body and a lower roof, so panels and lamps split at that point. Later Songs share its name but not its platform. Every part here is listed by its OE number, and matching the number on the old part is the surest way to confirm it fits.
What to know before buying BYD Song parts
Start by making sure the car is this Song. The name has been used on several different cars, and only this one has a 2,660 mm wheelbase and a 1,830 mm body width. The Song Pro arrived in 2019 on BYD's newer BNA platform, with a 2,712 mm wheelbase and a 1,860 mm width, and the Song PLUS came after it. Neither shares body panels, steering or suspension with this car. The Song Max is an MPV on a 2,785 mm wheelbase, a different vehicle again. Once the Song Pro arrived, the original Song was sold as the Song Classic, so treat Song and Song Classic listings as the same car.
Next, date the body. The facelift launched on 30 August 2018 and sold as the All-New Song brought the Dragon Face front with a new grille and LED headlamps, a through-type LED tail lamp and 18-inch wheels on some versions. It also changed the shape. Overall length went from 4,565 mm to 4,600 mm and height fell from 1,720 mm to 1,700 mm, while the wheelbase and width stayed the same. Bumpers, grilles, lamps and rear trim therefore split at the facelift. The quickest check is at the back, where a full-width tail lamp across the tailgate marks a facelifted car. Road tests at the launch reported that the engine, chassis and gearbox were not changed, so mechanical parts are more likely to fit either side of the date, but confirm each one by OE number.
Match engine parts to the build, not to the horsepower figure. The 1.5 is one 1,497 cc engine, first rated at 113 kW to China 5 emission rules and later at 118 kW to China 6 as the BYD476ZQB. Emission-side parts such as lambda sensors and the catalyst follow the emission build. The 2.0 is a separate engine, rated at 153 kW, with its own parts.
Gearbox and brake parts follow what is fitted to the car. The 1.5 came with a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch, and the 2.0 with the dual-clutch only. The dual-clutch is a wet unit, so order wet-spec parts and fluid for it. Clutch, flywheel and release bearing parts apply to manual cars alone. Look at the parking brake before ordering a rear caliper, since the caliper has to suit the parking brake the car actually has.
Finally, the steering on the petrol car is hydraulic, with an engine-driven pump, pressure hoses and a reservoir. The electric Song EV used electric power steering, so its steering parts do not suit this car. Read the tyre size on the sidewall before ordering tyres or rims, since 17-inch and 18-inch wheels were both fitted, and order painted parts by the colour code on the car.
Before You Order: 8 Checks
- If you are unsure which Song you have, measure the wheelbase. 2,660 mm is this car and 2,712 mm is a Song Pro. Then match every part to the OE number on the old one.
- Look at the tail lamp. A full-width LED lamp across the tailgate marks a car from the August 2018 facelift, so order bumpers, grilles and lamps to suit.
- Read the build date on the identification plate before ordering body panels or lamps, since the facelift changed the length, the height and both ends of the car.
- Confirm the gearbox before ordering clutch parts. Manual cars take a clutch, flywheel and release bearing, and dual-clutch cars take wet-spec parts and fluid.
- Check the parking brake on the car before ordering a rear caliper, and order the caliper to suit it.
- Treat the 113 kW and 118 kW 1.5 engines as one engine in two emission builds, and match lambda sensors and catalyst parts by OE number.
- Read the tyre size on the sidewall before ordering tyres or rims, since 17-inch and 18-inch wheels were both fitted.
- Expect hydraulic steering parts on this car, and order painted panels by the colour code on the car rather than by colour name.
Generations and Facelifts
The Song was first shown at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2015 and went on sale in October 2015. It was a compact SUV on a 2,660 mm wheelbase, 4,565 mm long, 1,830 mm wide and 1,720 mm tall. The 1.5 turbo at 113 kW came with a six-speed manual or dual-clutch gearbox, and the 2.0 turbo at 153 kW came with the dual-clutch. The same body was used for the Song DM plug-in hybrid, added in April 2017, and for the electric Song EV300 and EV400. Those cars have their own powertrain, cooling and steering parts.
The facelift came on 30 August 2018, when the car was relaunched as the All-New Song. It gained the Dragon Face front, all-LED lighting, a through-type tail lamp and 18-inch wheels on some versions. The body grew to 4,600 mm long and dropped to 1,700 mm tall. Road tests at the launch reported no change to the engine, chassis or gearbox, so for parts the facelift mainly splits bumpers, grilles, lamps and trim.
In 2019 the Song Pro arrived on the BNA platform with a 2,712 mm wheelbase. It was a new car rather than a facelift of this one, and the original stayed on sale as the Song Classic. The 1.5 moved to China 6 emission rules at 118 kW, and a Song Classic was still listed as a 2020 model. For parts, three things set the dividing lines: the August 2018 facelift for the body, the emission build for engine-side sensors, and the gearbox for clutch and transmission parts. Before ordering body panels or lamps, read the build date on the identification plate.
BYD Song Parts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make sure a part fits my BYD Song?
Match the OE number. Every part on this site is listed under the OE number printed on the original part, and if the number on the part you are replacing matches the listing, the part fits. This matters on the Song for two reasons: the name covers several different cars, and the body changed at the August 2018 facelift. If the old part is missing or its number cannot be read, send a photo and the car's details through the quote form and we will reply within 24 hours, usually sooner.
How can I tell this Song from a Song Pro or Song PLUS?
Measure the wheelbase, which is the distance between the front and rear wheel centres. This car measures 2,660 mm and is 1,830 mm wide. The Song Pro, launched in 2019 on BYD's BNA platform, measures 2,712 mm between the wheels and 1,860 mm across. The Song PLUS that followed is a different car again. Neither shares body panels, steering or suspension with this Song. A car badged Song Classic is this car. Once you are sure, confirm each part by OE number.
Do bumpers and lights from an early Song fit a facelifted car?
Generally not. The facelift launched on 30 August 2018 gave the car the Dragon Face front, LED headlamps and a through-type LED tail lamp. It also lengthened the body from 4,565 mm to 4,600 mm and lowered it from 1,720 mm to 1,700 mm. Bumpers, grilles, lamps and rear trim therefore split at the facelift. The quick sign of a later car is a full-width tail lamp across the tailgate. Read the build date on the identification plate, then order by OE number.
Is the 154 hp 1.5T a different engine from the 160 hp 1.5T?
No. Both are the same 1,497 cc turbocharged engine. The earlier version was rated at 113 kW to China 5 emission rules, and the later one at 118 kW to China 6, when it carried the engine code BYD476ZQB. The mechanical core is shared, but emission-side parts such as lambda sensors and the catalyst follow the emission build. A horsepower figure on a listing is therefore not enough to order against. Match those parts by the OE number on the old part.
Does it have hydraulic or electric power steering?
The petrol Song uses hydraulic power steering, with a pump driven by the engine's accessory belt, pressure hoses and a fluid reservoir. The electric Song EV used electric power steering, so its steering parts do not fit here. The pump runs off the engine, so the belt and tensioner are part of the steering system too, and a squeal or heavy steering can start with them. Check the belt, hoses and fluid level first, then order the parts you need by OE number.
Can I get clutch parts for it?
Yes, for manual cars. The 1.5 was offered with a six-speed manual, so it has a clutch, flywheel and release bearing. The 2.0 came with the dual-clutch gearbox only, and dual-clutch cars have no conventional clutch parts to replace. Manual and dual-clutch cars share nothing in this area, so confirm which gearbox the car has before you order. Then order the clutch, bearing and flywheel by the OE numbers on the old parts, ideally as a set.
Is the dual-clutch gearbox wet or dry?
Wet. The six-speed dual-clutch in the petrol Song runs its clutches in oil, so the clutch packs and the fluid must both be wet-spec. Parts and fluid meant for a dry dual-clutch gearbox are not suitable, and a listing that only says dual-clutch is not enough to order against. Road tests of the 2018 facelift reported no change to the gearbox. Even so, match each part by OE number, and check the fluid grade in the handbook before ordering.
Which rear caliper do I need?
The one that suits the parking brake on the car. Besides braking the wheel, the rear caliper holds the car when it is parked, so its design follows the parking brake fitted rather than the engine size. Manual cars were listed with a lever handbrake. Look inside the car before you order, since a lever between the seats and a switch on the console call for different hardware. Then match the caliper by the OE number on the old one, and order pads to suit.
Do Song DM or Song EV parts fit the petrol Song?
Some do, but many do not. The Song DM plug-in hybrid, added in April 2017, and the electric Song EV300 and EV400 used the same body as the petrol car, so some panels and trim may be shared. Powertrain, cooling, steering and many electrical parts are different, since the hybrid and electric cars have their own drive hardware and the EV uses electric steering. Order engine, gearbox and steering parts listed for the petrol car, and confirm everything else by OE number.
What tyre sizes does it use?
Both 17-inch and 18-inch wheels were fitted, and the 2018 facelift brought 18-inch alloys to some versions. One listed size is 225/65 R17. Wheel size depends on the version rather than the model year, so read the size on the sidewall of the tyres already fitted before ordering, and match the rims at the same time. If you are replacing a single wheel or tyre, check the size on the other three as well before ordering.
Is the Song Max the same car?
No. The Song Max is a six or seven-seat MPV that shares the Song name and the 1.5 turbo engine. It sits on a longer 2,785 mm wheelbase with a 4,680 mm body, against 2,660 mm and 4,565 mm or 4,600 mm on this SUV. Body, suspension and interior parts do not interchange between the two. Some engine parts may be shared, so compare OE numbers before assuming that a Song Max listing suits this car.
What oil does it take, and how often should it be serviced?
We do not give an oil grade or service interval for this car because we could not confirm one from a reliable source. Figures quoted online are often taken from later Songs with different engines. Follow the handbook supplied with the car, or the schedule set by the workshop that maintains it. When ordering an oil filter, air filter or spark plugs, note whether the car has the 1.5 or the 2.0, and match each part by the OE number on the old one.
