Typical UK-market notes — code QXWA
Orientation only; confirm displacement, outputs, and emissions hardware against your registration, VIN, and under-bonnet sticker.
- Valves

- Displacement (cc)

- Power (typical band)

When comparing suppliers, ask for confirmation against the stamped designation — not just engine size — because Ford used multiple outputs within the same displacement band.
Broad UK-market guidance for this family commonly sits around 1560–2179 cc with 16 valves and outputs near 85–177 kW, often associated with model years ≈2006–2015. Figures vary by calibration, emissions stage, and market; treat them as orientation, not a build sheet.
With QXWA on a S-Max, we prefer to confirm the stamped designation against your vehicle record before anything is ordered. It is a short step that prevents a near-match from turning into lost workshop time.
Noisy bearings, low oil pressure, and coolant contamination each suggest different next steps; once your code and vehicle details are aligned, we can talk sensibly about depth of work.
