Ford Ka Fuel Injection Pump Replacement Parts

The Ford Ka ran across two distinct generations: the original Mk1 (1996–2008) and the Mk2 (2008–2016), and these generations are not interchangeable for mechanical parts like the fuel injection pump. Within each generation, fitment depends primarily on the engine code rather than the year alone, so a pump from one Mk1 car may fit another Mk1 if the engine codes match, but crossing the Mk1-to-Mk2 boundary is very unlikely to work. Always confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker before agreeing a sale.

A 2006 Ka is a Mk1 and a 2009 Ka is a Mk2, so these sit either side of the generational boundary that changed in 2008, making a direct swap very unlikely. Even within a generation, the fuel injection pump follows the engine code first and foremost, so the codes would need to match regardless of year. Check your V5 for the engine code and ask the breaker to confirm fitment against your registration before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect fuel injection pump fitment — the pump is a mechanical part determined by engine code and fuel type, not whether the car is a Studio, Zetec, or Titanium. You may find cosmetic differences between stripped-out and higher-spec dismantled cars (interior condition, alloys, and so on), but none of that affects whether the pump itself will interchange. So long as the engine codes and fuel types match, trim is irrelevant — confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The single most useful detail is your engine code, which you'll find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check — this matters more than the year or badge. You should also confirm whether your Ka is petrol or diesel, your gearbox type (manual or automatic), and the year of the vehicle. Providing your full registration to the breaker allows them to cross-reference everything and confirm fitment before any money changes hands.

Whether a used fuel injection pump requires ECU pairing or immobiliser coding to your specific vehicle is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume either way. This can vary depending on the exact engine management setup fitted to your car and is not something that can be answered reliably without checking your specific combination. Ask the breaker directly before purchasing so you're not caught out.

Without a year, the engine code is your safest guide — if the code on the listed part matches yours exactly, it's a much stronger indicator of fitment than the year alone. The Mk2 Ka ran from 2008 to 2016, so any pump within that window is potentially relevant, but mid-production ancillary or mounting changes can occur without a model-year update, so you shouldn't rely on generation alone. Ask the breaker to check the part against your registration number to verify compatibility before you commit.
