I have the 182hp 1.5 4 cylinder engine and was thinking of getting it tuned, many companies claim stage 1 can bring a large increase in low end Torque which would feel good during daily driving. Would this increase the chances of the coolant intrusion and other problems occuring or are these problems unrelated to tuning. I do understand that tuning an engine puts additional stress on the engine but the idea of stage 1 is that it is well within tolerances imposed by manufacturers, especially here in the UK where 99 Octane fuel (E5) is very common.
I have a 2023 1.5 which is the 3cyl engine. At 800 miles the coolant passages got blocked with metal shavings coming from engine break in... I did notice a difference in power switching the engine to a 93 octane over the 87. Hopefully with a new cylinder head I will be good for many miles to come.
D - Wow... Seems way too new to have that happen.
Is it 120 or 182 or any other HP?

I have a 2018 ford escape 1.5L with oil mixing in cooling system. What's your take on that?
Don - That's the first common problem we address. Did you watch the video?
@@8020Media I did watch the video. However, my understanding is that the coolant intrusion refers to coolant being mixed into the oil. On the contrary, my situation is the engine oil is being introduced into the engine cooling system.
Were these issues addressed on new models? Do 2020 models still have those issues?
5 - The newer the model, the more likely engine issues have been addressed with a new engine variation.
are the 1,5 Ecoboost more relisble than the 1,0 Ecobbost (995 ccm)?
S - Depending on maintenance, we would likely say the 1.0 is more reliable.
@@8020Media are the Focus 1,5 as known to have problems as the Fusion/Mondeo and Escape/Kuga with the same engine?
Is 1.5 ecoboost 147kw reliable,I want to buy 2019 fiesta sti!!
D - It can be. All depends on how it was maintained prior and how many miles it has on it.
@@8020Media Thanks!
2014 fusion with 215k miles every original. Still going strong
D - Thanks for sharing your experience!
Watch out for the biggest problem: the fuel injectors can crack and cause a fire. Happened to me. No one injured, but that could have easily not been the case.
B - Thanks for the insight. Glad nobody was hurt!
Dang I was hoping this was about the dragon
S - Sorry. We will add this to the list.
@@8020Media Thank you :)
