FORD ECOBOOST - THE MOST UNRELIABLE ENGINE/CAR? | Ford EcoBoost Non-Start | Land Rover DPF Failure

We've had fiesta ecoboost 9 years not a days problem ,just had wet belt changed as its 10yr old so good for another 10 Yr

[@themarvelousvlog]

Wow! I’ve never heard of it lasting that long. Assuming you kept the service up?

[@stevehughes7224]

Your fortunate, the eco boost is a nightmare engine

[@themarvelousvlog]

Totally agree

[@jaanussaar9481]

newer engines already have a chain

[@UniquelyDiscovered]

Same here. Have a fiesta ecoboost for 11 years and have been servicing it every year. Have never had any issues. I hear so much that the wet belts are always an issue on these engines but still running well hitting 80k soon, haven’t changed the wet belt yet, but may do soon!

[@insertnamehere5660]

The ecoboost generally is a reliable engine if you service it properly. But a lot of people do not, and they drive the car as if its a 1.6 and it's not, its a 3 pot engine the size of A4 paper. If you are going to rag it about then you need to do the maintenance to give it a fighting chance, if you are going to be flooring the car everywhere then be prepared to change the belt earlier. Sure, you shouldn't have to change the belt so early, but its how it is and if you're going to drive it hard, then you are going to pay the price (£1000 - £1600). The idea of the turbo on the ecoboost is to give the engine a bit more help accelerating, it is not going to cope with race car driving. In general if you drive the car normally and service it following the plan then you've got nothing to worry about (the one in the video was a different story lol)

[@tonycharlton4296]

I will replace the belt and ancillaries at 100,000, just over 4,000 to go, as I believe that is a sensible measure. Recently spent over £500 for new front brakes and tyres, both needed. In every other respect my Ford has been reliable with only a worn key causing a starting problem. Had an oil analysis a few months ago and the wear levels were very low. Drive it sensibly, don’t rev it when cold, service it with the right oil (even if a local independent garage). I’m confident that once the belt is replaced I will get many more miles of trouble free motoring.

[@insertnamehere5660]

@@tonycharlton4296 I think that is perfectly reasonable, the interval is every 120 months or 150,000 miles whichever is sooner, so that is a sensible decision that will keep your car going

[@stephenreed1080]

On all mercedes with a electric parking brake, you can open up the workshop menu through the dash and put the handbrake in service mode to replace pads. Can also check what service is needed and reset service light.

[@paulhammond3590]

I’m happy with my 1.25 fiesta does the job brilliantly never failed

[@grahamherbert3612]

Keep on top of your oil changes to minimise wet belt damage, and, or, oil pump failure, and I always suggest regular use of a fuel system cleaning additive, to lower the risk of valve stem sooting. I'd get shot before the mileage gets near 60k, after which it's 'Goodnight Vienna' time. Good Luck

[@Loftikaz]

@@grahamherbert3612 the 1.25 isn't wet belt it's a 4 cylinder old school reliable engine. belt change at 90k as normal

[@TransportSCO]

That EXACT noise happened to my Ford Ecoboost 8x weeks ago... garages won't touch saying shite engine + need new engine!! Turned out Oil Pump failed due to BAD OIL due to insufficient services/oil change added to minus -10 weather with lots of cold starts short journeys!! Cleaned sump and replaced Oil Pump and Ecoboost is now running BOOMING perfect like new again!! Check sump as sounds like Oil is not being pumped/lubricated to top of engine resulting in that noise! Sump Clean or New Oil Pump with new Oil every 3-6 months and all is good to go with these little turbo 1.0L engines lol

[@stephenreed1080]

You sure your sump pick up wasn't blocked with partsof your wet belt causing your oil pump to starve of oil.

[@Sinister_abc123]

So your saying needing a new oil pump with new oil every 5 to 6 months is a good thing?? Lol

Great Video, love how you explain everything in detail too, I subscribed to your channel pal ☺️ I really can't get why any vehicle manufacturer would think submerging a Rubber belt in oil would be a good idea, all it does is cause problems, premature wear/failure, it does nothing to increase the belts lifespan. Now, would a Wet chain be have been any different perhaps? Don't know if oil would cause the chain to slip though.

19k miles in 3 years they don't need a diesel no wonder the dpf has gone, they don't drive it long enough to regen

[@lint8391]

Regardless of the driving style, the DPF should last for 200,000 miles minimum. A lack of regens wouldn't cause the DPF to come unwelded from the frame or to develop holes. It's under-engineering or poor quality control that's resulted in that DPF failure.

[@nickfoord750]

@@lint8391short journeys will ruin any DPF. They need to get damn hot to burn off the soot. This is why they clog up…I’ve seen blocked DPFs at less than 40k miles. Agreed poor quality on the Range Rover… though it was clear

[@Jackel7]

On my fourth, after 3 c max,s and now a new kuga.Never missed a beat any of them, so i guess the issues come at high mileage with neglected services or being thrashed by kids that dont know where the bonnet release is.

[@themarvelousvlog]

I’d say it’s a mixed of both. Low reliability engines requires proper maintenance to keep it going. I’ve come across one with 145k on the clock never replaced the belt but was always serviced at 5k miles/6months. Only just had the belt recently when I advised him

[@MENQN]

I've done 60,000 miles and no trouble yet all I've changed is oil service parts and tyres on my Eco Boost 1.0 Fiesta 2014

Like you said don't waste your money & time on cheap low quality parts, you shouldn't waste your time & money on low quality cars. Range rovers are expensive but all you ever hear about is their lack of reliability fault after fault. Not only that they're so easily stolen. A car is a pretty big investment, you spend a big proportion of your life paying for it the least the manufacturer can do is give you value for your money. The ford eco boost engine looks too much like a Peugeot engine.

[@iancarrier-pd8cu]

Fords used to be such great cars

[@lint8391]

1960's to mid 1990's Fords were beaten by BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Saab, Toyota, Honda... Ford of that era gave the impression that the bean counters and the marketing men ruled the roost. Mid 1990's to about 2010 Ford gave the impression that they started listening to the engineers. Around about 2010 seems like all the experienced engineers left and the incompetent, know-nothing white socks brigade came up with wet belt engines!

[@GMT439]

Not reliable after it gets to the out of warranty kind of age and also not that ECO really. The 1.5TDCi is does a lot more MPGS and is quite reliable. Avoid the Automatic transmission on fords of that age too.

Got to disagree with this constant eco boost slagging off. 1.0 eco boost is a good engine if its maintained properly and having the correct oil. Forget the 150k belt change interval and go for 8-9 years or 70,000 miles. Yeah it's a big job. But the days of 30 quid maintenance are over. Wrong oil breaks down the belt quicker and compared to the BMW mini that people rave about?? With a timing chain but with plastic tensioners for noise reduction. They wear quite quick. Generally due to poor maintenance? Jump a tooth on the timing and the super duper engine WILL eat itself! All cars nowadays are a gamble. I don't have any links with Ford but I'm just saying how it is. Rather a 1.0 ecoboost fiesta than some of these French and Malaysian brands. These are just another two with serious issues!

[@lint8391]

Compare it to a Toyota with the 1.4 diesel engine, with timing chains that have a great reputation for lasting and lasting. I think it's completely daft and quite evil that S Khan has priced Euro 4 and 5 Toyota 1.4D's out of driving in Greater London.

I've got a 2010 n57. Fixed a few issues straight after buying it (EGR, 4 shock absorbers, 2 springs, wheel alignment, auto box fluid replacement). Since then 17,000 trouble free miles (apart from having to recalibrate air mass sensor after replacing air filter). With 2 oil changes - which I do myself and are quick and easy to do. When I start hearing timing chain slap I'll take it to my local specialist for a £1,000 job. The thing is, it's such a nice car to drive and not too bad on the fuel consumption that I can forgive it if it's not quite as reliable as the Volvo D5's I've owned in the past.
