Ford EPC is the online route to genuine Ford parts identification in Brazil. Built on Microcat (Ford), it covers the flex-fuel Ford models delivered to this left-hand-drive (LHD) market and keeps factory supersessions current.
Why do Brazil workshops use Ford EPC?
In short: Ford EPC earns its place by pinpointing the genuine Ford part for the exact build, not a generic family list. Brazil's volume leaders are Fiat, Volkswagen, and Chevrolet, but Ford holds a committed owner base whose cars still need precise OEM identification that generic aftermarket lookups rarely get right.
Sourced from the factory Microcat (Ford) data, it carries assembly notes and supersessions for both current and older models on Brazil roads, cutting wrong-part returns at the parts counter.
What Ford models will I service most in Brazil?
The Ford models you'll most often identify parts for in Brazil are Mustang, F-150, and Kuga (full list below). Ford EPC covers every market year and engine option for each, with exploded diagrams down to clip and fastener level. Genuine Ford part numbers follow a format like JL3Z-1125-A.
| Popular model | Model years | Frequently looked-up parts |
|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang | 2018–present | fuel pump assembly, water pump & thermostat |
| Ford F-150 | 2021–present | suspension struts, alternator |
| Ford Kuga | 2019–present | timing chain kit, drive belt & tensioner |
| Ford Transit | 2014–present | engine mounts, AC compressor |
Pricing & access for Brazil workshops
Ford EPC costs from a 15 BRL day pass, or about 255 BRL/month on the monthly plan — one login that also opens every other brand catalog, with the interface in Portuguese and English and no per-search fees. Generic marketplaces can find a rough match, but Ford EPC gives Brazil professionals the factory Ford data — VIN-exact builds and live supersessions — that actually prevents returns.
Registration takes about two minutes and access is instant — no installation and no dealer credentials needed.
How do Brazil pros use Microcat (Ford)?
Independent workshops, parts counters, body shops and wholesalers across Brazil use Ford EPC every day — it fits the jobs that matter:
- Mobile mechanics open Ford EPC on a phone at the roadside to verify a part before sourcing it locally.
- Wholesalers map local stock to current Ford numbers and catch supersessions before shipping the wrong revision.
- Parts counters cross-reference walk-in requests against genuine OEM numbers, cutting the returns that erode counter margin.
- Independent workshops confirm the exact engine and gearbox code by VIN before ordering — vital when a Ford platform spans several flex-fuel powertrains in Brazil.
Are Brazil-spec Ford models covered?
Yes — cars here run left-hand-drive (LHD) and are homologated to PROCONVE emissions and flex-fuel homologation; that combination changes brackets, harnesses, lighting and emissions hardware versus other markets. VIN lookup accounts for all of it.
Brazil's four-season conditions drive wear patterns that shape what gets replaced — and the correct part still depends on the exact build. Ford EPC keeps that identification accurate. Note that flex-fuel (ethanol/petrol) powertrains are common here, with their own part numbers.
