    These engines all are known to fail badly, but how about a companion video? This one would be engines that don't necessarily kill themselves, but are so bad to live with that you wish they would. I suggest this because I never tire of hearing how bad the GM Iron Duke 2.5 four is, despite it being quite stout and long-lived.

    I'm surprised not to see Jaguar on the list. I've heard a lot of horror stories, and there are companies that even make kits to swap GM engines for the Jaguar straight 6s, but it was one of my roommates in college that really sank it home. He had an early 80s XJ6 and it literally spent more time broken down that on the road. He even had two complete engine replacements in as many years. On the last one, he found out that Jaguar made some critical internal engine parts out of plastic and that was it. The last time I saw him he was driving his dad's Ford pickup.
    My worst car was a 99 VW Passat 1.8t. It was solid, had a great suspension, and felt up-scale to sit in, but the turbo never worked right. I took it to three different mechanics and none of the 'fixes' they did made any difference. It would rev just fine... up to about 1500-2000 rpm and would just stop accelerating. If I tried to push it, it would just bog and die. I didn't even get enough out of selling it to finish off the loan, so I was still paying off a car I no longer owned. That was in 2004 and I haven't owned a car that wasn't a Honda or Toyota since.

    Little addition from a European here on the Mini/BMW N14…
    These engines were made in collaboration with PSA, and the engine was found in different configurations in various Peugeots and Citroens as well. Actually still up to this day…
    I own a Citroen C4 Coupe from 2010 that has one of these, and PSA calls it a EP6DT. So far it’s been all right, but these are before the engines got seriously bad. For these cars, the intakes tend to dirty up and need regular cleaning.
    Later though, the Citroen DS3 Racing had one of these tuned at 200+ hp and they straight up suffered from pistons warping or even breaking. So yeah, generally not a great engine unless you know what you’re getting into and do some preventive maintenance, and extra maintenance in general :)

    I have owned my 2009 F-150 with the 5.4 Triton since new and have had absolutely no issues. Towing, hauling, long highway trips, driving up dirt roads to camp, and of course the normal day to day start and stop city driving. I always made sure to stay on top of all the maintenance to prevent known issues and have changed the oil frequently. Changed the plugs twice so far with no issues both times. Just passed 200k miles last month and still have not had any major issues since I drove it off the lot. Alternator, water pump, and a cracked coolant hose have been my only issues. I know a lot of people have not had such pleasant experiences with their Triton engines, but I'm just here to report to anybody looking to buy a used Ford with those engines that not all of them are nightmares.

    Newer Subarus seem to have solved the head gasket problem but created a new problem by the factory engine sealant used. Seems that after a few years, and with proper maintenance, the sealant leaks in most places. Although Subaru will admit this problem (as a normal maintenance item in their words) they will not issue an extended warranty to cover the engine rebuild and reseal that is needed to fix it. A $5000 price.

    From personal experience, and I've owned a TON of hot garbage, the VW 2.0T engines (all versions of them) are some of the *most reliably unreliable* 21st century engines ever produced. Which is a damn shame because a lot of the cars themselves attached to this shit heap (with proper traditional automatics & manuals that is, not counting DSG's or anything dual clutch from VW) are ironically some of the most reliable VW vehicles they've ever produced. Germany seems to be very good at releasing reliable cars with hilariously unreliable powerplants, or fairly decent powerplants crammed inside horrendously unreliable vehicles. The 2.0T is especially horrible when stuffed in big heavy beautiful CC's, a car that should have only ever been available in n/a 2.5-5's or VR6; Two good reliable torquey engines for a nice very well made and equiped vehicle which is a rare thing from VW

Idk if they're still driving it or not, but I do know the owner didn't get a tune after the 1st rebuild, it had spun rod bearings and [maybe] ringland failure back in 2021. After the 1st rebuild, they didn't get the car tuned immediately which lead to a 2nd rebuild. Intersingly enough, the headgasket was intact, and the car (within the same year) had 250k+ miles on it. I hope that doesn't happen to you or someone you know bro especially the bugeye owner spent more than $5K-8K I think to get it on the road again. Ouch :/

Replace the timing chain tensioner, renew the water pump at 100k, and replace all the plastic cooling bits... And it's a damn solid motor. Idk what you're saying about HPFP or intake cams. Never have I ever seen one die from either of those going bad. The old 2.0 FSI has issues with the HPFP interacting with and often destroying the lobes on the intake cam. Not so for the TSI. I'm at 195k on my daily driver running about 17-18# boost. The wife has 150k on her daily running stage 1 @14-15# boost. I got the wife's car cheap after previous owner fell victim to the timing tensioner issue. Replaced the bent valves with donors from a junkyard 2.5, and timing components (new OEM), and it's been a rockstar for her for the last 45,000 miles. Point being that yeah VW screwed up on the timing tensioner, but really once you fix that if you keep up with the oil changes and replace aging plastic bits in the cooling system, they're stellar and very reliable. Do not recommend for anyone who can't do their own work though!

    We bought a 6.0 powerstroke a few years ago, knowing that it would probably fail at some point in the future. But hey, it only had 75,000 miles and a super low price on it so we're good till at least 150,000 before those pesky head bolts would need replacing right? RIGHT? Well, the EGR exploded 200 miles after purchase. Several thousand dollars of bulletproofing later I can confirm, avoid the 6.0.

    The 6.0 is a gem compared to a 6.4. The 6.0 has its upside and downs but as far as working on it I will never work on a 6.4 ever again. From building 2JZ engines to small blocks the 6.4 diesel is the hardest engine I have ever worked on. The 6.0 still had charm from the 7.3 it was still simple and easy to work on and at the end of the day it's still a pushrod V8 you can work on.

Yes, they replaced many of them more than just once or twice. Those of us who are old enough to remember them may also recall the massive piles of the cores that were behind the dealer service departments. And it didn't have a cast iron *block* weith an aluminum *head*, it was the other way around. And that block was amazingly, incredibly awful.

    There will always be the one guy that had zero problems and got 300k out of his Kia. Totally ignoring the data that shows how often they fail.

I buy Toyota now and my reason is simple the odds are in my favor and I always get the highest resale and trade in values. They have the lowest total cost of ownership in most categories too. Does not mean I may not get a bad Toyota, but it would be very low odds that I do:P

      @lucian7182 With my experience and this from Manufacturer's Engineering Failiar at Ford & GM. They come out of College and then think let's put the Turbos ( which get to be 1,875° Fahrenheit. ) while mount ithem
      1/8" inch next to an Aluminum Engine Block, which should not get to be above 250° Fahrenheit. 1/8 between them without a heat shield 🛡 or a Turbo blanket. Unlike Porsche which mount them, away from Engine Block. On to the rear quarter panels opening to cool the Radiators and the Intercoolers. Away from the engine block, as did Ken Block with Hoonicorn in front of the pulleys.
      Engineers think a lower center of gravity would help. Subaru started mounting them on top of the intake, and that Warp the heads, making them blow head gaskets. For me is either Naturally Aspirated (N/A) or Supercharged.

The same technology was used in the 450+ CID racing engines used in the Can-Am, but they only had to last about 3 hours between practicing and the race. Vegas didn't last much longer than that...then they became big oil pumps and killed mosquitoes for miles around. Note: GM's iron Duke 4 cylinder DID have an iron block, and it was much more durable...but it only made about 85hp and was installeed mostly in the dreaded Chevette, a car only slightly better than the Vega.

    The six points for power stroke is pig, the 6.0 pre-2005 had so many issues which they finally rectified but it was too late because the name Had been tarnished horribly. Even then, the 2005 to 2007 6.0, it’s not something you can have reliably if you tune it Without a lot of investment. My 2005 king ranch 6.0 has 1/4 million miles. It is bone stock, I have the necessary monitoring computer to keep active awareness of How it is functioning. I don’t drive it on trips that are shorter than 15 minutes, I have a Buick 3800 for those. I use the 6.0 to routinely tow an 11,000 pound fifth wheel trailer/RV. Oil changes every 5000 miles or every six months which ever is closer. Coolant gets maintained religiously, both fuel filters get changed at every other or change, and the PCV valve gets cleaned at the same time as the fuel filters get changed. And finally, most importantly, use Ford parts and Ford fluids in these engines. There are horror stories, if you don’t. Those engines want a load to pull, and to be worked. These are not Honda civics, that you just hop in and beat silly. They are very capable machines, but don’t have to be a point of frustration, as long as it was never owned by a 16 year old boy who modded it, didn’t maintain it properly, and was cheap about any of it.
