Ecoboost engine
Watching Mike brewers cars to avoid, he mentioned any ford with an ecoboost engine, now I know the early ones had problems with the degas pipes corroding but, isn’t this all sorted now? I’m on my third ecoboost powered car and have had no problems, granted they were all under warranty but still, I’ve also read on other motoring forums that the ecoboost should be avoided is this fair..? or is there some justification in people being wary of this engine…?
St line x 1st edition, it has nearly everything
Was he not talking about the Ecoboost engines on Ford of America trucks. I do seem to remember reading something about problems with the large engines. The ecoboost engines in our cars as far as I know are very reliable and known for it!
Im on my second ecoboost,I had a 125 bhp in my focus titanium x,drove bloody lovely,sounded like a bigger car,only reason I didnt keep it because it got smashed up and written off by a hit and run,my fiesta is a titanium b and o play edition with 100bhp,I notice the differance,the puma weighs less than the mk3 focus I had somim sure its quite nippy,I will love my puma when I eventually get one,when I first bought the focus I looked under the bonnet to see if the degas hose had been done,also checked the fiesta,I have had the fiesta for over 2 years and have had absolutely no problems at all,its been brilliant,its only finance thats stopping me getting a puma at the moment
I had an 09 Fiesta with ecoboost for 9 years and it needed nothing more than it's services in all that time.
I doubt Mike Brewer was talking about that particular engine, if he was, I'm not sure I'd listen to anything else he had to say.

Millions sold, so, millions on the second hand market.....There were problems with some engines built prior to 2014, but AFAIK that was mainly a hose problem.. However, in relation to the amount in use the numbers of failures wasn't that big.
Seems Brewer is saying 'Don't buy a second hand Ford'. Makes no sense...
