I agree, the fault was with the degas pipes corroding and losing coolant which overheated the engine, incidentally, the much acclaimed puretech engine has had problems with cam belts, but you donโt hear of that ..
Bye Bye Puma-Hello Mercedes A200 Sport Executive Auto
St line x 1st edition, it has nearly everything
Im on my 2nd eco boost 125 bhp in a 14 plate focus which ran lovely until car got written off,now on 100bhp in my fiesta,ran lovely for almost 2 years no probs,I was weary abpit it at first because of the hose,but ford have sorted it now,still cant decise between hybrid and none hybrid though
I got the puma 1st week dec 2020 It was reg sept 2020 with 1 previous owner so that owner in scotland only had for 3 months???
I part ex at my local garage where I got puma for 18,995 with 5000 miles which was a good price at time, My new merc is 70 plate A200 executive with 450 on clock of course i've gone up the scale a bit and merc is priced at 22,995 cos puma now had 9250 miles on and 2 owners I haggled for approx 2 hrs but they wouldn't offer more than 17000+a yrs tax but after a test drive I was sold on it, End of the day im happy, lesson learnt do more research on the vehicle you intend to buy, And if I ever pass through Romania I would kick arse in that ford factory!!!

Bad luck with the Puma...I've had a few issues but all seem sorted now.
..end of the day all cars can have their issues...also don't think Mercs are trouble free...I had use of an E63s for 2 years at work...120ks worth and its build quality left a little to be desired.....grass isn't always greener.
