Ford Ranger Exhaust Manifold Replacement Parts

Yes, all Ford Ranger variants sold in the UK have an exhaust manifold — it is the cast iron or steel component that collects exhaust gases from the engine's cylinders and routes them into the rest of the exhaust system. The Ranger has been sold in the UK with a range of diesel engines, and each engine variant has its own manifold design. If you are searching for a related component further down the exhaust system such as a DPF or catalytic converter, those are separate parts worth searching for individually.

The T6-generation Ranger, which launched in the UK in 2012 and ran through to 2022 (with a facelift in 2019), uses fundamentally different engines to the older pre-2012 Ranger, including the 2.2 TDCi and 3.2 TDCi units that are unique to the T6 platform. An exhaust manifold from the pre-2012 Ranger will not be compatible with a T6 model due to the different engine architecture. Always confirm the engine code on your V5C or check against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

Yes, the 2.2-litre four-cylinder TDCi and the 3.2-litre five-cylinder TDCi are different engines with different manifold castings, so the parts are not interchangeable. Always identify your exact engine code — found on your V5C or stamped on the engine block — and quote it to the breaker when requesting a used manifold. Do not assume a manifold will fit based on the vehicle year alone, as both engines were available across the same model years.

Trim level does not determine which exhaust manifold you need — what matters is the engine fitted to your vehicle, not whether it is badged XL, XLT, Limited, Wildtrak, or Raptor. The exception worth noting is the Raptor, which in some markets used a different engine specification, so if you have a Raptor it is worth confirming the engine code directly with the breaker. A manifold sourced from a lower-spec XL with the same engine code will function identically to one from a Wildtrak.

The T6 Ranger received its facelift in 2019, and while the engine family carried over, there were updates to the 2.0 EcoBlue engine that was introduced around the same time as the facelift, replacing the 2.2 TDCi in many configurations. If both vehicles share the same engine code, fitment is more likely, but given the emissions and engineering updates introduced around the 2019 facelift boundary, you should confirm compatibility against your specific engine code with the breaker rather than relying on the build years alone.

For the exhaust manifold itself, the core fitment driver is the engine code rather than the Euro emissions standard, but engines introduced or updated for Euro 6 compliance can have revised exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) routing and manifold designs that differ from earlier Euro 5 units. Sourcing a manifold from the correct engine generation is therefore important, and you should always quote your engine code to the breaker. If your query relates to the DPF or catalytic converter further down the system, those components are strongly emissions-era specific and you should confirm interchange suitability directly with the breaker against your registration.
