Ford S-Max Crankshaft Replacement Parts

Yes – every Ford S-Max has a crankshaft, because it is a fundamental internal component of any petrol or diesel reciprocating engine. Whether your S-Max is a 2.0 TDCi, a 2.5T petrol, or any other engine variant, it will have one. There are no S-Max drivetrain configurations (such as pure electric) that would omit a crankshaft entirely.

The S-Max Mk1 ran from 2006 to 2015 (with a facelift around 2010), and the Mk2 ran from 2015 onwards – and across that generation boundary the engine lineup changed significantly, so a direct swap is very unlikely. Fitment follows the engine code above all else, so even if both cars share a similar displacement or fuel type, the codes must match before anything else. Confirm compatibility with the breaker quoting against both registration numbers, as internal dimensions and ancillary interfaces can differ.

Trim level makes no difference to crankshaft fitment – a Zetec, Titanium, or ST Line on the same engine code will use the same crankshaft. What matters is the engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check), fuel type, and the year of manufacture within the generation. Focus your conversation with the breaker on those details, not the trim badge.

Crankshafts follow the engine code rather than the model badge, so if another Ford – such as a Galaxy or Mondeo – shares the exact same engine code as your S-Max, the crankshaft may well interchange. Always verify the precise engine code from your V5C rather than relying on the displacement alone, as Ford used multiple 2.0 TDCi variants with different internal specifications over the years. Let the breaker cross-reference both engine codes before purchasing.

The crankshaft itself is an engine component and is not directly determined by whether you have a manual or automatic gearbox – however, gearbox type can sometimes indicate different engine tune variants that may have had internal differences, so it is worth mentioning to the breaker. The engine code remains the primary guide, and if your code matches the donor vehicle's code, gearbox type is unlikely to be the deciding factor. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The Mk1 S-Max facelift in 2010 brought some engine and ancillary changes, so while some engine codes carried across, there may be differences in internal components or mounting interfaces between the two periods. The engine code is your most reliable guide – if the donor and recipient share the exact same code, fitment is more likely, but you should confirm any ancillary or mounting compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration. Do not assume a match based on year or displacement alone.
