Buying a used Ford Ka inlet manifold: what matters

Fitment on a used inlet manifold varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:

Fitment questions

Does the Ford Ka actually have an inlet manifold?

Yes, every variant of the Ford Ka has an inlet manifold – it is a fundamental part of any petrol engine, drawing the air-fuel mixture into the cylinders. The Ka has always been petrol-only in the UK, so all models from the original 1996 launch through to the Ka+ generation have one. If you've been told otherwise, it may be a case of confusion with another component.

Will an inlet manifold from a 2003 Ka fit my 2007 Ka?

The original Ford Ka ran from 1996 to 2008 as a single generation, so a 2003 and a 2007 car both fall within that same generation and are likely to share the same 1.3i Endura or 1.6i engine depending on your variant – engine code is the key check here. Pull your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and match it to the donor car's code before buying. Confirm any ancillary or mounting differences with the breaker against your registration, as there can be minor mid-production changes.

Does the inlet manifold from a first-generation Ka (1996–2008) fit the second-generation Ka (2009–2016)?

These are two entirely different platforms and engines – the first-generation Ka used Ford's own Endura and Duratec units, while the second-generation Ka (2009–2016) was based on the Fiat 500 platform and used Fiat-derived Fire engines – so the inlet manifolds are not interchangeable across this boundary. Always match by engine code rather than by Ka badge. Confirm exact fitment with the breaker against your registration.

I have a Ka+ (2016 onwards) – does it share an inlet manifold with the earlier Ka?

No – the Ka+ (2016 onwards) is a separate model built on a different platform with its own 1.2i Ti-VCT and 1.5 TDCi engines, and its inlet manifold will not match either of the previous Ka generations. Note the Ka+ also offered a diesel variant (the 1.5 TDCi), so make sure you specify your fuel type as well as your engine code when searching. Provide your engine code to the breaker for an accurate match.

Does the inlet manifold differ between Ka trim levels – for example Studio, Style, or Zetec?

Trim level does not affect the inlet manifold – what matters is the engine code, not whether the car is a Studio, Style, or Zetec. Two Kas with the same engine code will use the same inlet manifold regardless of trim, so don't be put off by a donor car being a different spec to yours. Do check the engine code matches exactly, as different engines were available across the Ka range.

What engine code do I need to check before buying a used Ka inlet manifold?

The engine code is the single most useful piece of information you can supply – it tells the breaker exactly which manifold you need far more reliably than the year or trim level alone. You'll find it on your V5 logbook or by running a VIN check; common Ka engines include the 1.3 Endura-E, 1.3 Duratec, and on the second-generation Ka the Fiat-derived 1.2 Fire. Give that code to the breaker and ask them to confirm it matches the donor vehicle before you commit to a purchase.
