Second Hand Ford B-Max Clutch Slave Cylinder

Only if your B-Max has a manual gearbox — the clutch slave cylinder is part of the hydraulic clutch release system and does not exist on automatic variants. The B-Max was sold in the UK with both manual and automatic (PowerShift dual-clutch) options, so the first thing to confirm is your gearbox type. If you have a PowerShift automatic, there is no clutch slave cylinder to source; if you have a manual, you will need one and your engine code is the key detail for matching it correctly.

The engine code is the single most important detail for this part — it determines the clutch system specification far more reliably than the year or badge on the car. The B-Max was offered with 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engines (codes including Fox and related variants), 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines, and 1.5 and 1.6 TDCi diesel units, each potentially having different clutch hydraulic setups. You can find your engine code on your V5C or via a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker will give you the best chance of a correct match.

The B-Max was a single-generation model produced from 2012 to 2017 with no major generational boundary, but there can still be production-run changes to ancillary and mounting specifications within that period. Year matters less than engine code for this part, but it is worth supplying your full registration to the breaker so they can cross-reference any mid-run changes alongside the engine code. Never assume a part from a very early 2012 car is identical to one from a 2017 car without the breaker confirming it against your registration.

No, trim level has no bearing on clutch slave cylinder fitment — this is a mechanical component determined by the drivetrain, not the interior or equipment specification. A Titanium and a Studio with the same engine code and manual gearbox will use the same part. The only cosmetic difference you might notice between breaker-sourced parts is general wear or surface condition, but the specification itself is trim-independent.

The B-Max shares platform and engine family with the Fiesta of the same era, so there is genuine parts commonality — particularly where the engine codes match — but this is not guaranteed across the board. The safest approach is to supply your B-Max engine code to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference it against the donor vehicle's code rather than assuming Fiesta or Focus parts are a straight swap. A good breaker will be able to confirm compatibility from their stock without you having to guess.

On the 1.0 EcoBoost with a manual gearbox the clutch slave cylinder is typically a concentric slave cylinder (CSC) mounted inside the bell housing on the gearbox, rather than an external unit — meaning it is often supplied and replaced as part of the clutch kit rather than as a standalone component. When asking breakers for a quote, it is worth clarifying whether you need the CSC alone or a full clutch assembly, as some will only supply the CSC as part of a complete clutch set from a donor car. Confirm the exact specification and mounting arrangement with the breaker against your registration and engine code before ordering.
