Fitment questions
Does a Ford Ka air filter from an older Ka fit a newer one – for example, will a Mk1 filter fit a Mk2?
The Ford Ka ran in two distinct generations: the Mk1 (1996–2008) and the Mk2 (2008–2016), and these are completely different cars built on different platforms with different engines, so their air filters are not interchangeable. Within the Mk1, the common engines were the 1.3 Endura and later the 1.3 Duratec; the Mk2 used the 1.2 Duratec (engine code SNJB or similar) and a 1.3 TDCi diesel. Always match the filter to the engine code shown on your V5 or a VIN check, not just the year.
Does the engine code really matter for a Ka air filter, or is the year enough?
The engine code matters most – the Mk2 Ka, for instance, was offered with a 1.2 petrol and a 1.3 diesel, and those two engines use different air filter housings and filter elements. A breaker supplying a part from the right year but the wrong engine type will send you the wrong part. Find your engine code on your V5C logbook or ask for a VIN check before you request a quote.
Will a Ka air filter from a 2007 Mk1 fit a 2009 Mk2 Ka?
No – 2007 sits in the Mk1 generation (1996–2008) and 2009 sits in the Mk2 generation (2008–2016), which are mechanically unrelated, so the air filters will not cross over. The Mk2 moved to a new platform shared with the Fiat 500, bringing entirely different engine and intake arrangements. Make sure you tell the breaker which generation and engine code you have so they can source the correct filter.
Does trim level affect which air filter a Ford Ka needs – for example, does a Style or Zetec need a different filter than a base model?
Trim level makes no difference to the air filter on the Ka – a Style, Zetec, or any other trim grade with the same engine code uses the same filter. The air filter follows the engine, not the badge or the trim pack. Just confirm your engine code and fuel type (petrol or diesel) when asking a breaker for a quote.
Do Ka Mk2 petrol and diesel models use the same air filter?
No – the 1.2 petrol and the 1.3 TDCi diesel in the Mk2 Ka have different intake and filter arrangements, so the air filters are not the same part. This is one of the most common mix-ups when buying from a breaker, so always state your fuel type and engine code clearly in your enquiry. If you are unsure of your engine code, a VIN check or your V5C will confirm it.
Is there anything special about sourcing a used air filter from a breaker – will a second-hand one be okay?
Air filters are a straightforward mechanical part with no coding, pairing, or immobiliser considerations, so a used one from a breaker is a practical option as long as it matches your engine code and generation. Do inspect the condition of the filter element itself, as breakers sometimes sell the housing assembly and the element may be worn; it is worth asking whether the element is included and what condition it is in. Confirm the part against your registration with the breaker to be sure.
