Used Ford C-Max Throttle Body

It depends on the engine. Petrol-engined C-Max models use a throttle body to control airflow into the engine, so if you have a petrol C-Max you are looking for a genuine part. Diesel engines on the C-Max do not use a conventional throttle body in the same way, so if you have a diesel model you are unlikely to need one — confirm with a breaker if you are unsure, as some diesels have a partial or auxiliary throttle-like valve that is often confused for a throttle body.

These are from two different generations — the Mk1 C-Max ran from 2003 to 2010, while the Mk2 C-Max launched in 2010 and ran through to 2019, so a 2009 and a 2013 car are unlikely to share the same throttle body. Even within petrol variants, fitment is led by the engine code rather than the year, so supply your engine code (from your V5 or a VIN check) to the breaker rather than just the year, and they can confirm whether the part crosses that generation boundary.

No, trim level does not affect throttle body fitment on the C-Max — whether your car is a Studio, Zetec, Titanium, or Titanium X, the throttle body is determined by the engine code and fuel type, not the badge on the back. Give your breaker your engine code and they will be able to match the correct part regardless of trim.

Your 2007 C-Max sits in the Mk1 generation (2003–2010), and the most important piece of information you can supply is your engine code, which you will find on your V5 logbook or through a VIN check. The petrol range across the Mk1 included different capacity engines, and the throttle body can vary between them, so the engine code is far more useful to a breaker than just the year or engine size.

The Mk2 C-Max (2010–2019) received a facelift around 2015, and while many mechanical components carried over, whether a throttle body crosses that boundary depends on the specific engine code involved — ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production without a formal facelift. Name the boundary to your breaker, give them both the donor and recipient engine codes, and let them confirm compatibility before buying.

Possibly, because the C-Max and Focus have historically shared petrol engines and engine codes across the same generation — if the engine codes match, the throttle body may well be the same unit. However, confirm this directly with your breaker against your specific registration and engine code, as mounting or ancillary differences can exist even between cars sharing the same engine family.
