Second Hand Ford Tourneo Camshaft

Yes, every petrol and diesel engine fitted to the Ford Tourneo has at least one camshaft — it is a fundamental engine component present on all internal combustion variants. Depending on the engine, your Tourneo may have a single camshaft (SOHC) or twin camshafts (DOHC), so the exact number and specification of camshafts depends on which engine code your vehicle has. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your engine code before searching, as this determines exactly which camshaft you need.

The Ford Tourneo Custom ran from 2012 to 2023, with a facelift in 2018, so a 2015 and a 2018 model sit either side of that facelift boundary. Within the same engine code the camshaft design may well be shared, but ancillary changes were made across the facelift period, so you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration and engine code rather than assume it will swap straight in. The engine code is the single most useful detail you can give the breaker.

Trim level makes no difference whatsoever to camshaft fitment on the Ford Tourneo — the Trend, Zetec, Titanium, and Titanium X trims all share the same engine internals when fitted with the same engine. What matters is the engine code, not the badge on the tailgate, so give the breaker your engine code and they can match the part correctly regardless of trim.

The Ford Tourneo Custom shares its 2.0 TDCi engine family with the Ford Transit Custom and certain Transit variants, and camshafts from those models may well interchange where the engine code matches exactly. However, you should confirm this with the breaker against your registration and engine code, as there were specification changes across production years that could affect compatibility. Always match on engine code first, not just engine size.

Gearbox type does not directly affect the camshaft itself, as the camshaft sits within the engine and is unrelated to the transmission. What matters for fitment is your engine code and fuel type — petrol and diesel engines of similar displacement are entirely different internally and their camshafts are not interchangeable. Give the breaker your engine code and they will identify the correct camshaft regardless of whether your Tourneo is an automatic or manual.

The engine code is the single most important detail — it is stamped on the engine block and also appears on your V5 logbook or can be found via a VIN check. You should also tell the breaker your fuel type (petrol or diesel), the year of your vehicle, and your full registration, as this allows them to cross-reference any mid-production changes that may affect fitment. Never rely on engine size alone, as several different camshaft specifications can exist within the same displacement family.
