Used Ford EcoSport Clutch Slave Cylinder

Only manual-gearbox variants of the Ford EcoSport have a clutch slave cylinder — if your EcoSport has an automatic gearbox, this part simply does not exist on your car. The UK EcoSport was sold with both manual and automatic transmissions depending on engine and trim choice, so the first thing to confirm is your gearbox type. If you have an automatic, what you may be looking for instead is a transmission solenoid or valve-body component — worth discussing with a breaker once you know your gearbox code.

The Ford EcoSport in the UK ran in its second-generation form from around 2013, with a significant facelift arriving for the 2018 model year that brought revised engines and updated underpinnings. Because the engine range changed across that 2018 boundary — most notably with different EcoBoost and diesel variants — a slave cylinder from a pre-2018 car may not match a post-2018 car even if the displacement looks the same on paper. Engine code is the critical detail here, so share your V5 engine code with the breaker and ask them to confirm against their donor vehicle before purchasing.

Yes, petrol and diesel engines in the EcoSport use different gearboxes and clutch actuation systems, so the slave cylinder from a 1.0 EcoBoost petrol will not be the same part as the one from a 1.5 TDCi diesel. Fuel type and engine code are the two most important details you need to match, above anything else. Pull the engine code from your V5 logbook and quote it directly to the breaker so they can source from the correct donor vehicle.

Trim level makes no difference to the clutch slave cylinder — whether your EcoSport is a base Ambiente, a mid-range Titanium, or an ST-Line, the slave cylinder is determined by the engine code and gearbox, not the badge on the tailgate. You may find cosmetic differences between donor cars at the breaker's yard, but none of that affects whether the mechanical part will fit your car. Focus your search on matching engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, and ignore the trim entirely.

The single most useful piece of information is your engine code, which you'll find on your V5 registration document or via a VIN check — it tells the breaker exactly which gearbox and clutch actuation setup your car has. You should also confirm whether your car is manual or automatic (automatics have no clutch slave cylinder at all), your fuel type, and the model year. With those details a breaker can check their donor vehicle's engine code against yours and give you a reliable answer on compatibility.

A 2016 car sits in the pre-facelift EcoSport range, while a 2019 car is post-facelift, and the engine range changed notably across that 2018 boundary, so this is a cross-generation pairing that needs careful checking. The engine codes may differ even if the badge displacement looks the same, and ancillary mounting or hydraulic line connections can vary mid-production in ways that are difficult to confirm without checking the specific vehicles. Give the breaker both engine codes and ask them to compare directly against your registration — never assume a cross-boundary part will drop straight in.
