    Nice video. I have had my turbo replaced. Also had the coolant intrusion problem. I put a bottle of K Seal in the coolant reservoir and was shocked that it stopped the coolant burning 30k miles ago. I now have 225k on the original engine. Mines a 2015 Escape 2.0

      Mine went all of 62,000 miles - and yes, it was well maintained. The second worst piece of junk I’ve ever owned, beat out only by a ‘72 Vega I owned back in high school. My Fusion was my last Ford ever. In addition to engine issues, I had to replace the steering rack twice, once under warranty, the second time at 52,000 miles. I’m happy for you, though.

    I'm working on a 1.5 now, it's just a crazy design. The tensioner for the cam belt is mounted to the water pump plate, (replacing the water pump now at 60 000 miles) you have to tilt the engine to get the alternator out etc. It's almost like these engines were designed to break, and be expensive to repair.

    I agree 100% with Boss Automotive. I ordered and built from Ford a 2013 1.6 escape in 2012 and it failed at 89,000 miles with this very issue. All oil changes(old school) at 3,000 miles and fluid changes as per ford.

      Not everyone can afford to just throw out their vehicle. My family has one vehicle. Without that vehicle, nobody gets to work. Nobody gets to school. My husband is in kidney failure, I need a car to get him to his doctors appointments. My engine went out with this exact problem. Why should I have to chalk over $20,000 so the next person doesn't get screwed? I think maybe as consumers, we should do a better job researching what we're buying. I'm not throwing away over 20k just so someone else doesn't have the same issue. I will agree, the cars are junk, but I shouldn't have to write off several months worth of pay over a company not doing right by its customers. They just win and us little people lose. If cars weren't so expensive, it wouldn't be an issue. In today's economy, I don't know ANYONE who can afford to just "recycle their car" and not get some kind of trade value for it. I wish it was that easy.

      @@formerlyknownasbribri if you are trading in a car with a bad engine you are recycling because the dealer will give you scrap price.

    I have a 2014 escape. From what I am seeing this problem started in the 2015 motors. The best I have been able to find is Ford changed the cly/bore and that made the spacing between the cly/ closer and caused the cooling problem that's why the very small slit you see between the cyl/. My 2 problems are the rear end aliment I fixed with a aftermarket kit and the evap/ system as it to will cause some of the same problems you mentioned. BUT your right I'm looking at a new vehicle and avoiding FORD. Just don't understand after all these years they have not fixed this problem. Very sad on their part.

    Man’s speaking facts.. I have a fiesta st and at 20k miles, I started modifying the thing for more power and we found that in cylinder 4..or 1 idk the firing order, was already spitting antifreeze into the cylinder… arp head studs and a better head gasket was the first thing I did.
    Now I have a bigger turbo boosting 21+ lbs of boost making 350 wheel hp. I’m now at 70k miles and aside from some lost compression over the years due to the cheap low tension rings everyone seems to be using now, I haven’t lost a drop “that I can see” of coolant.
    BUT I have spent too much money on maintenance over the years on it to be sure it stayed healthy. At this point, it’s not if it will fail.., it’s WHEN will it fail.. would love to stay ford ecoboost powered, but I’m already making plans for a K24 swap…

  • @toondereu7559
    @toondereu7559 Před 6 měsíci

    I heard the ones in Europe (kuga 1.5) with manual transmission don t have as much of a problem. So I guess the turbo pressure at low rpm isn t really ok for the head gasket. In general: heat up the car slowly, with only small amounts of power requested. Once on temperature there is less stress on the gasket, also helped by the pressure in the cooling system pushing the gasket on the cilinder head. Avoid low rpm. Accelerating from low rpm immidiately results in high turbo pressure, even if you re not accelerating fast. Slowly heating up is always a good idea, with any engine...

      Interesting to note, I own a 2017 Ford Focus 1.5 ecoboost with 52k km with 134kW. It hasn't had any issues yet and it's an EU spec. I always have mechanical sympathy on the car. I normally drive around 2k rpm not to stress the engine and always let it idle for approx 30s before taking off then taking it easy on the drive until optimum temps on the oil, head and coolant are reached. I wonder what else I need to do to prolong it's life but ultimately I know its fate.

    Just did a motor swap on a 15’ escape titanium 1.6L at work. Bought the replacement motor from LKQ. Swapped the motor over and had the same probably with the new; used one. To answer a bunch of people questions regarding the topic of filling in the slot that cut out on the deck, it is possible to weld that slot shit and milk it down at a machine shop but I wouldn’t do that unless you’re running open deck block supports to strengthen it up. Honda has open deck designs on some of their engines without all that fancy slotting of the block, if you ask me it is pointless….

    I disagree, you can re-sleeve the block and have the gap closed, which should strengthen it for good. It's a minor, shallow groove which was a poor choice for added cooling. But whether or not its worth the cost is a different story.

      You can not resleeve these blocks. Ford has a revised block where that area between the cylinders is solid and a hole is drilled through below where the groove used to be. The cross flow is critical to keeping the entire cylinder bore cool. There’s a reason the groove is there, but it was a poor design, but the revised setup is better.

    No good. I’m having this antifreeze issue. No white smoke. No warning codes and it’s driving fine. I am having decent pooling of antifreeze on the right side of the engine but a couple of hoses. What worries me is that I’m not dripping any coolant onto the ground and I’m loosing too much coolant for what the pooling is showing. I’m having to fill my coolant once a week now. Not a full fill but a top off bc then low coolant code goes off. Any thought gang? Is the the dreaded block issue or something manageable like the coolant outlet flange? My initial thought was that flange was the issue… but I’m loosing a lot of antifreeze for nothing to be dripping on the ground? Where’s it all going…

    Ford has problems only with blocks that has an open deck. There is not enough material between cylinders, and that leads to problems with head gasket.

    There is no need to worry any owners. 1.0 ecoboost is obviously not a suitable engine for anything over a fiesta. Many mod them too far which leads to this.

However, I must admit that now I am freaky concerned that it is very stupid decision to buy this car.
    How about Fords with diesel engines? Are they a bit better designed?
    The funy thing is that few years ago they named Fords Ecoboost engine the engine of the year here in Europe. How the hell can you give this award to an engine that wasn't tested at least 100k miles? I just knew from the beginning that that bullshit award is pure marketing.
