Ford Ka Washer Motor Replacement Parts

The Ford Ka ran as a single generation (Mk1) from 1996 to 2008, so a washer motor from a 2003 car is broadly from the same generation as a 1998 car and is likely to be compatible. That said, there were minor running changes across the production run, so confirm the part against your exact registration with the breaker before buying.

The Mk1 Ford Ka (1996–2008) used the same basic bodyshell and front-end architecture throughout its long production run, so washer motors tend to be shared across much of the range. Minor revisions did occur over the years, so always give the breaker your registration to cross-check the exact part number.

Trim level does not affect washer motor fitment on the Ford Ka — the motor is a functional mechanical part, not a trim-dependent one, so a Studio unit and a Luxury unit are the same item. You may find minor cosmetic differences on associated components like the washer jet or bonnet pipework, but the motor itself should interchange across trims.

The second-generation Ford Ka (Mk2, sometimes sold as the Ka+ in later years) launched for the 2009 model year and is a completely different car from the Mk1, so a washer motor from a 2007 Mk1 Ka is very unlikely to be a direct swap. Confirm with the breaker which generation your car belongs to using your registration before ordering.

Engine size has no bearing on washer motor fitment — the motor is part of the windscreen wash system and is unrelated to whether you have a 1.0, 1.3, or 1.6 engine. Simply match the generation using your registration and confirm with the breaker.

The Mk1 Ford Ka is a three-door hatchback without a rear wiper or rear washer system, so there is only one washer motor on the car — the front one. If you are sourcing a used motor, make sure the breaker knows you need the front unit, though on this model that is the only option.
