2017 Ford Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost Turbo Install, Tips, Tricks, Test Drive

[@roberthouse4228]

Thank you, I'm having this same replacement done on my 2016 Ford fusion, a turbo replacement, and the mechanic used the hearing tool to pin point the riddle sounds was indeed coming from my turbo, and was causing the burning of oil. So it was great seeing this video and understanding what's causing the riddle and why.

How much dey charge you

I fitted one to a Ford Galaxy 2.0 ecoboost last week. Its good that it comes with the boost solenoid and vacuum line from the factory. Never had that before.

Hello Dig Dwz, hi, i have an interesting question. the turbo that appears in the video that appears to be 2017, is it compatible with ford fusion 2.0 SE 2015?

[@anatolyfomin7945]

Thank for the best video about this job.

[@TommyG11814]

I think the turbo on my Ranger would come rite out the top, at least it looks like there is more than enough room. This looks compact, great job I bet it was expensive.

[@coache1nine]

With more turbo cars on the road that P0299 is becoming very common. My first time seeing it on a Ford, but seen more than a few on GM cars. Thanks for the tip on checking the rattle noise and wobble in the shaft. Dead giveaway that the turbo is not building or holding boost.

[@anthonyhumbert8787]

I used to dread dropping subframes due to having to either unbolt the rack letting it in place or fighting the ps lines off then back on. Now that most are electric nothing to dropping them now.

[@kevindiaz3459]

I was suspicious my '14 SE 1.5L might have a bad turbo. It makes a low hum when I accelerate, but there is no loss of power. When the RPMs come down the hum stops. There is no rattle, so now I am thinking it might be something else. I can tug on that shaft to see if I feel any play, that's a good tip. Now I wonder if I just have a bad belt.

First off I’d like to say genuine ppl like you make the rest of us genuine ppl feel like there’s still honest workers out there. Unfortunately Tropical Ford in Orlando, Florida is not about honest work. The service advisor LARA TALT has decided to verbally change the terms of my engines 2 years/ unlimited mileage warranty to avoid fixing my wifes 2019 2.0 EB leaking turbo oil feed line that’s mated to the block. This was noticed a few months after the new engine was replaced from water intrusion “which I got covered because of your video showing how to spot it”. I assumed it was oil residue from said replacement and the oil loss wasn’t noticeable on the dipstick. A year and a half later, I look over the car and the same issue was there, so I decide to take it down there. The service advisor LARA TALT stated “The 2yr/unlimited mile warranty only applies to work that is paid for, because yours was covered under warranty this doesn’t apply to you”. I dont know about you but that is the biggest BS I have ever heard of and I wish I knew who to report this to. So hear I am checking your videos on how to correctly replace this oil line since Tropical Ford refuses to cover it…

[@markhdz07]

Super informative - thanks! I bought a used 17 2.0 fusion with 38k miles. Engine light kept popping up- P0302. Turns out coolant was leaking and now warranty is covering engine replacement. Any down side to all this?

[@FordBossMe]

I mean you're just going to keep burning coolant and falling out clothes much sooner which you're going to have to change the plugs every 15,000 miles or so

[@niccopeland4050]

Great vid, very informative. Does the oil drain tube have gaskets? Or are they a separate p/n?

[@FordBossMe]

The oil drain tube has its own part number but it comes with a gasket and bolts but you can also order that gasket and bolt separately I wouldn't though

[@niccopeland4050]

@@FordBossMe Awesome, thank you for the reply, really appreciate your help

[@justinhouston2789]

Would you recommend replacing the turbo with the long block replacement on a 17 MKZ 78k? Maybe the labor would be cheaper since they would have to install the old turbo anyway.

[@FordBossMe]

It would be cheaper, it just depends on the condition of the turbo

[@koolaidwaterfountainsforth4236]

After just swapping/upgrading the turbo in my fusion, Absolutely no reason to drop the subframe and all that. I completely removed the downpipe and un bolted the one cross member in the back. Turbo wiggled out the back where the downpipe was. Absolutely was no problem to do. I watched this orginally and it made it seem way more complicated. Once I got into it, a breeze. In that aspect made it seem much more of a job than it is in my opinion.

[@FordBossMe]

I mean there's definitely more than one way to do it this is how I do it though so you obviously came here for a reason? What was that reason was it to correct somebody? Was it to find somebody that did it a different way so you could tell them that you found a better way to do it? I mean what was your purpose for coming here if you had it all figured out yourself you didn't need any help from anybody? I suppose you just wanted to feel good about yourself correcting somebody saying that you found a better way to do it? That's typical nowadays with people

[@FordBossMe]

Remember what you see as your opinion isn't the reality of how the world works I do this every single day you're doing it on your own vehicle as a hobby or a way to save money so your opinion to me doesn't really matter you came here because you either needed help or you're talking trash and seeing as that you're not asking for help you're talking trash trying to give me your opinion when it's not needed I would have to say you want to push enough you won't be able to have a channel like this as access if you need help because I'll just block you

[@koolaidwaterfountainsforth4236]

​@FordBossMe that's a triggered response. I merely stated I found a simpler way. I work professionally in the automotive field too and have for well over a decade professionally. It's not a hobby but I don't really have to prove anything to or behind that. I don't care on that. You're just another tech to me except you Plaster your face on YT. I said that because I found this video on trying to get a inside first person view of it. Even when I first watched it I questioned the extra R&I's being even necessary... having the background I do. From another professionals standpoint, you got extra and unneeded labor tacked onto the bill (if outside of warranty) causing the customer more money out of their pockets. That's another reason why i said it. Useless labor time to get more money. Since you wanted to be touchy about me stating a less invasive way than ultimately costs less money to do for the overall job saving said customer a chunk of money. And, to add to it, the less invasive you are on a job, the less liability and blame placed on the individual tech for "messing something up" on the pure case of you didn't even touch it. You being defensive about it just adds to the whole dealerships are a scam shit. Being I've worked for some i seen it first hand. Your video with the whole subframe out, with steering rack proves first hand on that to someone whos on a educated mechanical level too. Hundreds of dollars in wasted R&I's AND even drags out the job even longer. Which could mean more rental money and longer rental time and time cycles in the shop itself. Just milking it out. I keep my KZbin profile & name from when I was a little kid on purpose. I don't care enough to make any content or share all the things I do. I lead a busy enough life to plaster any aspect of my life on YT. Perks of that are nobody knows who or what I am. One automotive technician to another your double response is clapback on being defensive on being called out on a more cost effective method that is even simpler as a job as a whole that saves everyone money BUT the monkey turning the wrench on the job who's making extra just to milk out the whole process AND make a YT video of it. 👏 👏

[@koolaidwaterfountainsforth4236]

​@@FordBossMeI'll double clapbackk too. Block me? Ooo scary. Fucking primadonna 😂 I got way more advanced mechanical people in my back pocket for insight. I don't need a YT warrior mechanic for advice. I didn't even watch your whole video. I stopped when I saw the whole subframe bullshit out. I didn't need the hyped up for the people on YT to get views bullshit. Post doing it the way I did it, I found ample other people doing it the same way even on the more crampt focus ST's. Again, more documentation out there proving your video is dragged out, milked out dealership crap practices. Costing the people (the customer) more money doing it this way. Enjoy being triggered about this too for months on end.😘

[@davidcorbit3931]

​@koolaidwaterfountainsforth4236 Hey ...from one grease monkey to another..you are right , but he was probably doing it by the book. And just because you can " clap back " doesn't mean you should. I'd probably laugh if you said that to me and say yeah your probably right...but you don't have bust his balls. Take the good leave a positive not contradicting comment and it makes everyone's experience better. Thanks for pointing out what you said...I was thinking the same thing....however what the FSM tells a tech to do in the alloted hrs. ..he did a great job with some very helpful tips admitting his own errors. .enough said, I wish you all the best, no less no more.

[@blaess8660]

At 7:02, I believe that is the wastegate reg valve solenoid. You have a part number for that? I have a '17 same engine. I've replaced all other associated sensors and still can't clear the P1016. Noticed a vacuum drop either side of wastegate so thinking these vacuum lines (i think they ship with this sensor same part number) either have a water/ice issue or have leaks. Thanks in advance.

[@FordBossMe]

Most of the time I found the engine studs were pretty good the only thing that actually had to be replaced was the actual gasket for the turbo

Have a question I just got my engine replaced now I had for about a week then my check engine light came on they are telling me it could be the turbo or converter. Note when I was driving it for that week I had no acceleration power took me forever to get to proper speed. Could I use the old turbo from the other engine as a replacement? Had to replace the engine do to crack on the block. Or is the old turbo from previous engine a lost?

[@FordBossMe]

They normally take the old Turbo from the old engine and put it on the new one they don't put a new turbo on, they transfer all the external parts from the old engine when they put the new engine in and that's how they build the new one so you might have something like a Turbocharger wastegate solenoid or one of the pressure solenoids that need to be replaced

[@Topper-gf8xl]

Would it have been possible to just replace the housing instead of the whole turbo assembly? They look like they come apart saving time and costs.
