Ford Fiesta Flywheel Replacement Parts

Both the 2013 and 2015 Fiesta fall within the Mk7 generation (2008–2017, facelifted in 2013), so they share the same platform, but whether the flywheel actually interchanges depends first on the engine code – a 1.0 EcoBoost and a 1.25 Ti-VCT use completely different flywheels even though they sit in the same bodyshell. Pull your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and give it to the breaker, who can confirm whether a specific unit crosses the 2013 facelift boundary safely.

Trim level makes no difference to flywheel fitment – a Zetec and a Titanium with the same engine code and gearbox type use the same flywheel. The trim name only affects interior and exterior features, not the drivetrain components. Match on engine code, fuel type, and whether the car is manual or automatic, and you can buy from either trim without concern.

The Mk6 ran from 2002 to 2008 and the Mk7 from 2008 to 2017, and crossing that generation boundary is a significant step that the breaker needs to verify against your specific engine code. Even where an engine family carried over between generations, ancillary and mounting details can differ, so do not assume direct compatibility. Confirm the donor registration and your own engine code with the breaker before buying.

Yes – fuel type is one of the most important fitment factors for a flywheel, and a diesel unit will not interchange with a petrol one even within the same model year and generation. Diesel engines also commonly use a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) where many petrol units use a solid flywheel, making them entirely incompatible in design as well as fitment. Always specify your fuel type alongside your engine code when requesting a quote from a breaker.

No – the flywheel (or flex plate, as it is sometimes called on automatics) is specific to the gearbox type, and a manual and automatic unit are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker whether your car is manual or automatic when enquiring, alongside your engine code. Getting this wrong means the part simply will not bolt up correctly.

The 2009 1.6 TDCi sits in the early Mk7 generation, and the key to finding the right flywheel is your exact engine code from the V5, since sub-variants of the 1.6 TDCi can have different flywheel specifications. Provide that code to the breaker along with confirmation that the car is manual, and they can cross-reference donor vehicles accurately. Never assume a flywheel fits based on engine size alone – the code is what counts.
