Is this engine reliable? As long as it never suffers any coolant leaks. But failure of the degas pipe that carries steam from the water cooled turbo to the expansion tank can cause a disaster. Be very careful indeed buying a used Ford with this engine from a dubious source. Avoid buying at auction.
Posted. I have driven the latest 1.0 ecoboost in an ST line Focus I had for the week. I have to say I was impressed. It was really quiet on the motorway, plenty of power, and averaged an indicated 54mpg over a week of motorway commutes totalling about 500 miles. 70mph and cruise on all the way.
Answered by Honest John. The 1.25 is an old, basic, non turbo 4-cylinder engine, so is less efficient and less powerful then the three-cylinder 1.0 EcoBoost and less fun to drive. The EcoBoost had some turbo problems but they all seem to be resolved now. Small Fords also had a lot of clutch problems due to a bad batch of clutch slave cylinders
EcoBoost engines are 20%-30% more efficient than normal engines. Even the 3.5L V6 offers a mileage between 17 -23 mpg under any load. The main selling point of the EcoBoost engine is its fuel economy despite high power output. The 1.0L EcoBoost for example is a 123 hp engine that gives a combined mileage of 28 mpg.The engine. The mid-range 99bhp engine is a fine engine, pulling well from low-revs and sprinting from 0-62mph over a second faster than the 74bhp entry-level engine. Even better, it manages
We have test driven both the 1.0 Ecoboost (100PS) and the 1.5 TDCI (75PS) both 15 plate titanium models with around 5000 miles on the clock - the diesel is £200 more but cant make up our minds as to which engine will be best?
I want to by the Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost (99) Zetec 2013' However, I have heard from a few people that although it is an excellent engine.. they are not very reliable.Believe it or not, the engine can take a much harder beating than what Ford did with it. From the factory, the 2.0 liter EcoBoost 4 cylinder combined with the BorgWarner K03 "little turbo that could" cranks out 252 horsepower and 270 lb. ft of torque at the flywheel. In our own Focus ST project car, this netted us 237hp at the wheels.
Having had a fiesta Mk6 (Latam-Edition) 1.6 Zetec Rocam N/A engine before moving to Spain I've got some experience with "reliable engines". That thing was built like a tank, timing chain, etc. Still, once i got my first ecoboost here (Mk7.5 100hp STL) made me NEVER look back into low capacity N/A engines. To get the stronger engine, you'll also need to add available AWD. "With 123 horsepower, the EcoSport’s 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine isn’t especially powerful or efficient. The optional 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, with 166 hp, is the better engine. It’s the exclusive power plant in all-wheel-drive versions of the 2021 Ford EcoSport." This is a 1.0L Ford EcoBoost engine. The 1.0L displacement is an example of OEMs opting for smaller engines with turbochargers to meet increasingly stringent emission standards. I n 2009, a 3.5 liter twin turbocharged V6 engine was offered as an option in the Ford F-150. It was badged with the name EcoBoost and has since been a strongI have a 2016 1.5L Ecoboost titanium hutchback. I've now clocked 110k km. It's been very reliable (touch wood), I haven't had fix anything aside from the regular care (every 15k km). I do know that for my next visit I'll need to replace the timing belt and one of the engine seats rubber thingies. It's been a pleasure to drive, and I'll probably
