I would rather buy a hand grenade with the pin missing😂

[derekwhittle]

Never had a problem. Right oil and regular changes never been a problem

I see these all the time in work. Shame on Ford for producing such a pile of junk. As you said the 1.25 was a cracking engine and the 1.6 as well.

I sold my 2013 fiesta ecoboost 125bhp with 108'000 miles on it.
My mate down the road still has his 2013 fiesta ecoboost 99bhp which he has had since 600 miles, is still his daily with 150'000 miles.
Neither had a timing belt .

We part exchanged for a chain driven engined car after a £950 quote for the wet belt change on the fiesta .

Ford service say replace the cam belt at 10 years, belt is reliable if oil change is done at correct intervals using correct oil

Cracking video! “Buyer Beware!”, so very true where the ecoboost engine is concerned.

I have a 2014 1.0 Fiesta ecoboost. Currently 36, 700 miles. I change my oil and filters every year even though I only do about 1, 400 miles per year. I recently changed my oil, and thankfully I didn't find anything in the oil which I drained (admittedly I didn't put a rag through the sump plug hole and rub in to the bottom of the sump) but apart from being dirty there was nothing untoward in the oil. My insuarnce is cheap and it's zero road rax, and if I trade in I will have that to consider.

Thank you for the thorough assessment. 19:53 My son was about to purchase a Ford Fiesta with a 1.0 litre Petrol EcoBoost engine. God Bless you and thank you !!

Got same car and age. Lower mileage 63k never had an issue with it. Sailed through 4 x MOT's.

[EppingForest]

Great vlog… you’ve confirmed the many potential problems that I’ve heard about the 1 litre eco-boom engines.👍

[quantumskyline]

My 1.0l eco boost focus went bang on the M6. Pulled over to phone the AA. Ten minutes later it was a complete fireball. I'm not even joking. These things are downright dangerous

[bigjml]

Brave man.

Ecoboom

Great when they are running well

[tomoreilly]

Wet belts aspirated engine much more reliable, not as nippy or frugal, but much safer bet.great vid as usual, some handy tips to owners or potential buyers.

[kamilianos]

reading the comments and noticed split opinions. I think this reflects the fact that there are lots of these on the road, and some survive just fine if serviced and used lightly. I think the bad ones are those that worked hard and had deferred maintenance. Obviously, things like fuel pumps fail on many cars, so it's not Ford specific problem. Direct injection, turbo charging and long service intervals only add fuel to the fire when it comes to reliability. The best engines were usually free of VVT''s, no turbos, port injected, dry belt or accessible chain, 4 cylinders or more. The progress in technology has not done much good to reliability. It's all about tail pipe emissions and fuel saving with a heavier reliability tax.

We had a ford focus 2018 1.0 and it had full ford service history and it went bang on the way to work i was out of work for 4 months because of it sadly nearly lost the house months of fighting ford offered me a settlement i brought a seat leon and never looked back

[macca]

My Audi tdi I always run for a minute after a long journey or if I’ve been pushing the engine just to let the oil cool and the turbo, improves the life of it

[AlastairUren]

The BIO (belt in oil) scenario affects most small turbo engines - PSA, Ford, VW etc - had the oil pick up blocked through nothing more than a degrading OEM belt on a 1.2 DS3 - all in a car with a full main dealer service history.

[tardeliesmagic]

Spot on with removing the sump. This is the thing with car owners changing their oil at 10, 000m. 5, 000m is where it should be, lots if issues can happen. Many Toyotas owners do it 10, 000+ miles, why? No more than 5, 000m, using good oil with cheap filter is ok, cheap oil + cheap filter NOT ok at 10, 000m. The VVT & solenoid get blocked too on Toyotas which is bad. Use a named brand of oil, none of this rubbish Mannola oil you see at GFS, euro car parts etc.

[paulillingworth]

Love the fact these are sooo reliable Not 😂 I remember when these launched and some doubted my opinion of these tiny little engines that are massively overworked and will go bang, it was inevitable, shame as Ford are capable of making good vehicles.

I currently drive a 1.0L Ecoboost Fiesta (65 plate) and have no problems what so ever. All i recommend is that you get it fully serviced at least once every 2 years or every 6, 000 miles which comes first.

I drive mine lightly, i'm aware of the horror stories but mine's still going strong today.
