Ford

Ford from 1995 to 2025: from the workhorse Transit to the urban Fiesta, and what real-world use means for the engine or gearbox

A Transit hauling heavy loads day after day, a Ranger tackling rough tracks, a Galaxy eating up motorway miles with a full family on board, a Fiesta or Ka used daily in the city: the stresses are not the same, and they don't fall on the same components. The Transit alone accounts for the largest share of the collection, with broad coverage of diesel generations — 2.2 TDCi, 2.0 EcoBlue, 2.4 TDCi — engines that are particularly prone to premature wear when oil changes are stretched or loads are regularly at their maximum. On the Ranger, the 3.2 TDCi five-cylinder (engine codes SAFA, ENSA, SA2R, SA2S, SA2W, SA2X) and its associated transfer case are the key areas to watch as soon as the vehicle is used off-road.

Four part families, with very different scopes depending on the model

The collection covers engines, gearboxes, turbos and transfer cases across eighteen models. Engines are available as a bare engine; turbos are available new or reconditioned. On the Focus, C-Max and Mondeo, the 1.8 TDCi diesel (codes HCPA, HCPB, P9PA, P9PB, RWPA, RWPC…) and the 2.0 TDCi (HJBA, HJBB, QXWA, UFBA, TXWA…) account for the majority of replacement requests. On the petrol side, the 1.0 EcoBoost three-cylinder — rolled out on a large scale on the Fiesta, Focus and B-Max from around 2012 — has a well-documented sensitivity to overheating, which affects the engine's service life (codes M1DA, M1JA, M1JC, SFCA, SFCB, SFJB…). The 1.5 TDCi introduced on recent generations of the Fiesta and Focus (XVGA, XVGB, XWCA, XWDA…) is distinct from the earlier 1.6 TDCi: both engines feature in the collection and share neither the same codes nor the same gearboxes.

Identifying the right part: the pitfalls specific to Ford

Several Ford engines share the same engine capacity but carry different engine codes depending on power output and year. The 1.6 TDCi is available in 75, 90, 101, 109, 110 and 115 hp variants, across different code families (G8DA/G8DB for some versions, T1DA/T1DB for others, HHJA/HHJB for others still). Likewise, the 2.2 TDCi in the Transit covers a range of 85 to 155 hp spread across around twenty codes (CYFA, CYFB, DRFA, DRFB, SRFA, UHFA…): a stated power output alone is not enough to identify the correct part — the engine code stamped on the block remains the only reliable reference. On the Galaxy, S-Max and Kuga, the 2.0 EcoBlue and its mHEV variant (codes BCFA, BKFA, BLFA, YNFA…) succeed the 2.0 TDCi with no continuity of reference: parts are not interchangeable between the two generations.

EDEN BOITES also offers two service options: the standard exchange, where the reconditioned part is dispatched straight away, and the rebuild of your own unit, where your original unit is reconditioned and returned to you. This second option may be particularly relevant for rare references, notably on certain older Transits or on the Ranger 3.2 TDCi.
