I know someone who has a 1.0 ecoboost eco sport, He drives up and down the country often and gets car serviced twice a year and has had zero issues and it's a 2016 model.
I have a 2015 focus eco boost over 100 thousand miles and never had a issue. I have had regular oil changes with the right oil that is essential.I had the sump off and checked my pick up it was clean
The manuals are missing both the tensioner and the ballancing shaft. Therefore, there is less stress on the oil pump belt. I believe it is significant less stress, which helps the belt work for longer. However, it is easier to drop the sump on these new engines because there is nothing in the way (no exhaust pipe) so it might be worth checking the belt before 100.000 km. By the way, I read that the sump bolts must be replaced if removed. Is this true? Why? What are they made of, aluminium or steel? Thanks!
This is what wrong oil does. Got a 2020 50k Focus 1.0 Ecoboost (B7DA chain drive) with P0524 low oil pressure - also showing 0psi oil pressure, phasers sound knocky. From what I've seen this is quite common if not serviced or wrong oil used. Apparently happens sooner on the autos than the manuals.
Thanks, a very honest and revealing vid. Ford seem to wanna throw their excellent reputation in the bin. Shame. The Ford 4 cylinder engines always lasted forever. Crazy.
My only concern would be , seeing that the engine oil strainer was so blocked . Would this not also have caused oil starvation concerns and possible internal damage to the engine and other components ? based on the cooling system issue as well , and the cost of the repairs so far , there is a potential that this could amount to a more substantial repair bill in the near future .
I'm not a specialist, so i don't understand why they kept a plastic belt.. If the belt is remplaced by a chain, where does this 2nd belt comes from ? Thank you.
@@bathlanegarage9797 alright! And of course, this belt soaks in oil... Shitty design.. I've always wondered what kind of engine I have. My focus is from 2019, but maybe was conceived in 2018... That's the year of the shift. I've seen somewhere that chain engine doesn't have the big metal thing in front of you when you open the front of the car.... But not sure...

yup regular servicing is essential

@LesBootle56 yes wrong oil, lack of servicing and e10 fuel all cause early degradation of the belt.

Thanks for the info. It’s difficult to get any accurate info in this ongoing disaster by Ford.
Ford does not want to talk about this.
Yes, am really worried am
In market to buy this type of car !
This is what wrong oil does.

Forgot to ask, does the chain ecoboost have that stupid floating crank pulley with the reluctor pickup on it?

all ways a risk there was no pil pressure faults surprisingly and no signs of engine wear.
Is this the version with the 7 gear 7dct300 automatic transmission or 8 gear conventional automatic?
Pure garbage😖🤮 great video and thanks for sharing
Why Ohh Why only fit one chain, FFS Fit 2 FORD

2nd belt runs the oil pump!

@tokiwi_ I've seen chains from 2018 onwards. if turbo is at front yiu have belt turbo at back of engine you have a chain
@bathlanegarage9797 can't tell... My car is at the garage RN, problème with oil pressure... So can't check.
Thanks anyway!
1.25 engine is far better
what is the mileage of the car?
@michalmichal4127 if I remember it was 27k
Are there any other companies that use this wet belt system?
psa group.
@@bathlanegarage9797 Thank you for info
What a performance save that hassle buy a toyota
Engineers never learn
As a highly experienced and Tech guy, I can confirm that the eco boom engine is the worst pile of shit ever designed. It is truly a chocolate engine.
Ford to lose even more customers. Serves them right.
Poor engineering by ford yet again
No disrespect intended, but I don't believe this!
Nobody wants they’re eve’s and the same with these stupid designs
Looks as shit as the Pure Tech 1.2
