Used Ford Fusion Sump

The Ford Fusion was produced in the UK from 2002 to 2012, based on the Fiesta Mk5 platform, and ran as a single generation without a major facelift that split the range into distinct mechanical families. That said, there were minor running changes across the production run, so the engine code on your V5 is the most reliable guide to which sump will fit your car. Always quote your engine code when getting a quote from a breaker.

Both years fall within the same 2002–2012 generation, so a sump from a 2004 car could well fit a 2008 car if the engine codes match — the sump follows the engine, not the year alone. However, there were running production changes across those years, so confirm the exact engine code with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. Never assume fitment on year alone.

Trim level — whether Plus, Zetec, or any other — has no effect on sump fitment; the sump is determined entirely by the engine fitted to the car. All those trim grades could share the same engine code, in which case the sumps are interchangeable. Confirm your engine code with the breaker and ignore the trim badge when sourcing this part.

Yes, fuel type matters significantly — a petrol and a diesel engine have completely different sumps and the parts are not interchangeable. Make sure you specify petrol or diesel when contacting a breaker, and ideally supply the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check for an exact match. Quoting the engine code removes any ambiguity about which unit was fitted to your car.

The main engine sump sits on the bottom of the engine block and is not directly determined by whether you have a manual or automatic gearbox; what matters is the engine code. However, automatic transmissions have their own separate sump for the gearbox fluid, so if you are replacing a gearbox sump rather than an engine sump, make sure you specify this clearly to the breaker. Confirm the exact part you need with the breaker against your registration to avoid ordering the wrong component.

The Ford Fusion shares its platform and engines with the Fiesta Mk5, so there is a strong chance the sumps are the same if the engine codes match, as the sump is engineered to the engine rather than the body. However, you should not assume this without checking, as there can be ancillary or mounting differences between vehicles on the same platform. Give the breaker both registrations and your engine code so they can confirm compatibility before you buy.
