A buyer's guide to used Ford Ka exhaust manifold
No two exhaust manifolds are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the Ford Ka actually have an exhaust manifold?
Yes, all Ford Ka variants have an exhaust manifold — it is the cast-iron or steel component that collects exhaust gases from each cylinder and routes them into the downpipe. The Ka was only ever sold with small naturally aspirated petrol engines (no diesel, no turbo), so there is no DPF to worry about, but the manifold design still varies by engine code across the generations. Make sure you identify your exact engine before searching.
Will an exhaust manifold from a Mk1 Ford Ka (1996–2008) fit a Mk2 Ford Ka (2008–2016)?
No — the Mk1 Ka (1996–2008) used Ford's Endura and Duratec engine family, while the Mk2 Ka (launched 2008) used a Fiat-sourced 1.2 Fire engine as part of the Ka's platform-sharing with the Fiat 500, making the two generations fundamentally different. The exhaust manifolds are not interchangeable across this boundary, so confirm the generation and engine code with your breaker before ordering. Fitting a manifold from the wrong generation would require significant modification and is not recommended.
Does the engine code matter when buying a used Ford Ka exhaust manifold?
Yes, the engine code is the most important thing to confirm, even within a single generation of Ka. For example, within the Mk1 (1996–2008) range, the 1.3 Endura-E and the 1.6 Duratec have different manifold designs, and within the Mk2 (2008–2016), there were different variants of the Fiat 1.2 Fire engine that may have detail differences. Always quote your engine code — found on your V5C or inside the engine bay — to your breaker.
Does the trim level affect which exhaust manifold I need — for example, does a Ka Studio need a different manifold to a Ka Zetec or Ka+ Active?
No — trim level does not affect exhaust manifold fitment on the Ford Ka. The manifold is determined entirely by the engine fitted, and across the Mk2 Ka range, trims like Studio, Style, Zetec, and the later Ka+ trims (Active, Cool & Sound) all used the same Fiat-derived 1.2 Fire engine family, so the manifold is the same regardless of which trim badge is on the car. Just confirm the engine code matches and ignore the trim level when speaking to a breaker.
My Ford Ka is a 2007 — will it take the same exhaust manifold as a 2009 Ka?
Almost certainly not. A 2007 Ka is a late Mk1, using Ford's own Duratec engine, while a 2009 Ka is an early Mk2, using the Fiat-sourced 1.2 Fire engine — the platform change happened with the Mk2 launch in 2008. These engines are completely different in design, so their exhaust manifolds are not interchangeable; confirm both engine codes with your breaker to be sure.
Are there any emissions or MOT concerns I should know about when buying a used Ford Ka exhaust manifold?
The Ford Ka is a petrol-only model with no DPF, which simplifies things compared to diesel cars, but the exhaust manifold on any Ka will typically have a lambda (oxygen) sensor bung and may be closely integrated with or upstream of the catalytic converter. A cracked or poorly sealing used manifold can cause an MOT failure on emissions grounds, so inspect any used part carefully for cracks or warping before fitting. Whether a specific used manifold's catalytic converter integration suits your car is something to confirm directly with your breaker against your registration.
