Used crankshafts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
It depends almost entirely on whether both cars share the same engine code, not just the same engine size — so check your V5 or run a VIN check before approaching a breaker. The Mk7 Fiesta ran from 2008 to 2017 with a facelift in 2013, and while many engines carried across that facelift, ancillary or specification changes within the same engine family are possible, so confirm with the breaker against your exact registration rather than assuming the years alone guarantee a match.
The engine code is the key detail here — even within the 1.0 EcoBoost family there can be specification differences between variants, so two cars both badged '1.0 EcoBoost' are not automatically interchangeable on internal engine components like a crankshaft. Give the breaker your full engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) alongside your registration, and let them confirm compatibility rather than relying on the badge alone.
For a crankshaft, trim level makes no difference whatsoever — a Zetec and a Titanium with the same engine code use the same crankshaft, and the ST uses the crankshaft specific to its own engine. What matters is the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, so focus on those details when asking a breaker for a quote rather than mentioning trim.
The Fiesta Mk6 ran from 2002 to 2008 and the Mk7 from 2008 to 2017, and while Ford continued to use the Duratec 1.25 petrol engine across both generations, crossing a generation boundary like this is exactly the kind of question to put directly to the breaker with both engine codes to hand. Do not assume compatibility based on engine size alone — the breaker can check the specific codes against their parts to give you a reliable answer.
The crankshaft itself is an internal engine component and is not directly determined by gearbox type, but gearbox type can sometimes indicate which engine variant or specification your car has — so it is still worth mentioning to the breaker alongside your engine code. The engine code remains the single most important detail to supply, as it defines exactly which crankshaft your engine requires.
No — petrol and diesel engines have completely different crankshafts due to fundamental differences in engine design, compression ratios, and dimensions, so a diesel crankshaft will not fit a petrol engine and vice versa. Always confirm your fuel type and full engine code with the breaker to make sure they source the correct part for your specific engine.
