Posted March 24, 2022. Hi all, quick question have any of you ever had any problems with your ecoboost engine?? I have a 19 plate 125 hp 1.0 ecoboost and keep reading there are huge problems with the wet belt getting contaminated and the oil pump filter getting clogged up my car has only done 5000 miles and been serviced twice next one due In
6. Timing Belt Issues. The EcoSport’s 1.0-liter three cylinder engine uses a timing belt that’s lubricated by the engine oil similar to a timing chain. Like all timing belts, it needs to be replaced every 10 years or 100,000 miles as it could potentially break as it degrades with age. Its tiny 1.0-liter turbocharged I-3 only makes 123 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque, but it's remarkably refined and a hoot to wring out. Sadly, it won't be an option for U.S. customers anymore. In an An inspection is called for at 150,000 miles, but Ford expects the belt to last the life of the engine. That’s great if they are right, but the replacement will be exceptionally complex if they are wrong. Quibbles aside, 450 miles was enough to convince me that the 1.0L EcoBoost is both a qualitative and quantitative improvement over the 1.6Yes, in the Fiesta only the 125/155 MHEV (early 2020-on) have chains. The 100 still has the belt, as do the earlier 125/140 versions. Belt version as shown below, with the turbo at the front beneath the shiny heat shields. The MHEV is the other way round, turbo at the rear, and none of the "shiny bits" at the front.dpE8b. 414 242 433 453 260 260 98 180 319
