Used Ford Ka Dual Mass Flywheel

The vast majority of Ford Ka variants — covering both the original Mk1 (1996–2008) and the Mk2 (2008–2016) — were fitted with small-capacity petrol engines that use a conventional single mass flywheel, not a dual mass flywheel (DMF). DMFs are typically found on diesel engines or larger turbocharged petrols, and the Ka was never offered with a diesel engine in the UK, nor with a turbo petrol in standard production. If your Ka has a flywheel fault, what you almost certainly need is a standard single mass flywheel — search for that instead, and give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) to make sure you get the right one.

No — the Mk2 Ka (2008–2016), like the Mk1 before it, was sold in the UK exclusively with small naturally aspirated petrol engines (including the 1.2 Ti-VCT unit), none of which were factory-fitted with a dual mass flywheel. The DMF is a component associated with diesel or high-torque turbocharged applications, and neither generation of Ka falls into that category. If a previous owner fitted an aftermarket flywheel assembly, that would be very unusual and worth confirming with a mechanic before ordering any parts.

It is very unlikely to be correct for a standard Ford Ka, as no UK-market Ka was fitted with a DMF from the factory. It's possible there has been a misidentification of the fault or the part — a worn single mass flywheel, a faulty clutch, or a crankshaft-related vibration can sometimes be confused with DMF symptoms. We'd recommend getting a second opinion and confirming with your mechanic exactly which part is worn before ordering from a breaker.

Both the Mk1 Ka (1996–2008) and the Mk2 Ka (2008–2016) use a conventional single mass flywheel, matched to their small naturally aspirated petrol engines. The correct flywheel will be determined by your specific engine code — this is more important than the year alone, as different engine variants can use different flywheels even within the same generation. Give your engine code to the breaker (it's on your V5C or available via a VIN check) and they'll be able to match the right unit to your car.

Trim level makes no difference to flywheel fitment on the Ka — the flywheel is determined entirely by the engine fitted, not whether the car is a Studio, Zetec, Titanium, or any other trim. All of these trims shared the same engine family choices within each generation, so a flywheel from the correct engine code will fit regardless of what badge is on the car. The breaker will want your engine code and registration to confirm the right match.
