Ford S-Max Inlet Manifold Replacement Parts

All petrol S-Max engines have an inlet manifold, and diesel engines do too, though the diesel units are often integrated differently into the intake system. The S-Max was offered with a range of 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, and 2.5 petrol engines as well as 1.6, 2.0, and 2.2 TDCi diesels across its production run, so the part exists across the model range. The key thing is that manifolds are engine-specific, so you need to know your exact engine code before sourcing one — not just the fuel type or displacement.

The S-Max ran as the Mk1 from 2006 to 2015 and the Mk2 from 2015 onwards, and these generations used significantly different engines and engine management setups, so a Mk1 manifold will not directly swap onto a Mk2 and vice versa. Even within each generation there are differences between engine families, so generation alone is not enough to confirm fitment. Always supply your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — when getting a quote from a breaker.

The Mk1 S-Max ran throughout this period with a facelift in 2010, so a 2010 and a 2014 car are both Mk1 generation, which is a good starting point. If both cars share the same engine code then fitment is plausible, but ancillary fittings and mounting points can change mid-production even within the same engine family across the facelift year. Confirm with the breaker against both registration numbers to be sure before buying.

No, the trim level — whether that's Zetec, Titanium, Edge, or Ghia — has no bearing on which inlet manifold is fitted. The manifold follows the engine code, not the badge on the tailgate. As long as the engine codes match, a manifold from a base-spec S-Max will fit a top-spec one, so don't let the trim level guide your search.

The 2.0 TDCi family covers several distinct engine variants with different power outputs and emission standards, and these can use different manifold assemblies even though they share the same displacement and fuel type. The engine code is the detail that really matters here, not just '2.0 TDCi', as differences in EGR routing and intake configurations exist across the range. Check your engine code on the V5 or via a VIN check and give it to the breaker so they can match accurately.

The S-Max shared its platform and several engine families with the Galaxy and Mondeo, so cross-model fitment is sometimes possible where the engine codes match exactly. However, bracket positions, sensor ports, and ancillary fittings can differ between vehicles even with the same base engine, so a matching engine code is a necessary starting point but not a guarantee on its own. Put this question to the breaker with both registration numbers and they can check whether the specific part numbers align before you commit.
