And.. the correct oil is?

@@GeordiLaForgery castrol 5w20 for the eco boom engine

​@@derekfleming3095 ecoboom hahaha that's brilliant 😅

Yea same here my 2015 1.0 has Done 100 thousand miles used correct oil my oil pick up is also clean !!

I use comma 5 20 ecoboost oil.Just get the spec perfect.Its not about brand in my view with any vehicle.Garages in general never have specific oils all they have are 3 barrels of different oil (not with complete target)

It’s just that their prototype sign-off is so bad that they misjudged mean time between failure by 100k miles.

Look around, there are currently many other examples from recognised names, not just ford who messed up The lesson to be learned is buy Japanese - but not Nissan, as they’re basically Renault now

It doesn’t have to be serviced by ford, can be serviced at any garage and still be able to claim

@@derekfleming3095 Yes I understand what you say Derek. But there will be numerous owners who won’t have used garages and serviced regularly after the warranties expire. Especially up to 10 years. I’ve never had mine serviced by a garage apart from the cambelt replacement. I’ve managed to do all my own subsequent oil changes, along with coolant,brake oil and brakes. It’s never failed an MoT. Like many others or get neighbours or good local mechanics to see to the same stuff. But not at regular service intervals. I would only take mine to a local garage or ford at a push if ever the engine management light were to come on, which would be above my pay grade. There will be plenty that look after their cars this way. It is good news from Ford, just saying there are many owners who will not fit into this category or provision if their engine fails. I hope you can see what I was getting at. The criteria is very favourable to Ford.

@@tonyorourke5066 yes, but you have to see it from fords point of view, they have a recommended service schedule and they’re saying regardless of where you got it done, you can claim, that’s pretty fair in my view. I also do all the work on my cars, but always keep receipts for everything and record date of mileage. As for your engine management light comment, get yourself a decent reader, you could do it all yourself. I got one for £108

Could you explain how brakes failing led to requiring a new engine?

@@Imra99928 Perhaps some part of the engine is powering the abs pump but that’s a total guess Edit 2:00 he explains that in the video

@@Imra99928because the wet belt broke apart and clogged the pump. The major issue I had (apart from the brakes failing) is that I was paying for my car to have an annual service in which the correct oil and maintenance of the car should have been carried out by the garage.

Add to the fact the car was a manual transmission with only 51,000 miles on the clock

Terrifying. Glad you weren't hurt!

😂

Thye even repeated the design decision when they launched the 2.0 EcoBlue diesel, there's loads of Transit vans with knackered engines for the same reason as was outlined in the video.

I'm starting to think they did it by purpose. I just want to buy an old reliable car but the ULEZ and road tax makes it impossible.

@@FatHead1979 Other brands are not imune either, Toyota has had to issue a recall due to debri causing engine failures, the same as Kia / Hyundai. A few years ago i had a Mazda 6 estate diesel, and it required a new engine under warranty due to oil starvation, another bad design. Whenever i see fancy words like Ecoboost or Skyactiv i just know that a failure is not far away.

I suspect engineers are pushed to make designs that save money in some way may be part of the problem. We have seen penny pinching by manufacturers in different areas over the years that caused issues . I remember reading an article years ago how the big wigs at Mercedes asked engineers to build an expensive part to a certain price rather than a standard , and back in those days many people said Mercedes cars definitely where not the quality of early models . Perhaps that has changed in later years at the company , but no doubt that sort of bean counter mentality finds its way into most manufacturers in these tuff times. If you look at some old car engines , some are built like tanks with parts built to be very heavy duty way exceeding what the average consumer will need it to be , in later editions of the engines you find big heavy solid conrods for example are trimmed down to a point where they are strong enough, no longer indestructible , but still last long enough to be serviceable while having less material in each conrod , may be 10 or 20 grams per conrod removed which may only be a 5 cent saving per conrod , which sounds like peanuts , but if you factor in one V8 engine has 8 conrods , that’s a saving of 40cents an engine, but if they sell a million cars and trucks with that engine , suddenly it’s serious money in the bank. And if they cut costs in 5 other areas , it’s now millions of dollars saved on production.

This guy's channel is brill👍👏

I believe most major lubricant companies will no longer supply or support any oil for these Puretech units as they are concerned about being dragged into future litigation cases. A local mechanic told me that he’s seen some of the Puretch units fails at less than 20K. They are also used in Vauxhall cars now like the Corsa as they are part of the PSA group.

@@colingraham9281 Yes spot on, I bet Total oil are not happy as their in bed with the PSA group. I've also known 1.5 ecoboom fords to fail around 25 30 thou also. It's not good enough

Pure tech are actually worse, as they also suffer from oil burning due to ring wear

Same here, nothing but horror stories about them.

Amsoil is the best

Don't think the One litre golf has a wet belt, thought they were chain driven?

Not a wet belt.

Wet belt for the oil pump in these engines I believe

The oil pump belt carries no where near the drive belt/chain LOAD and it may be for that the reason why they don't change it. Time will tell......

I've heard same and totally agree with you about this video

Was it the auto box, or manual?

@@robcundall2602 Manual. Wouldn't engage 2nd. Suspect the syncro gone

Why would anyone buy one of those 😂😂😂😂

What's the resale value of your EV, little fella? BAHAHAHAHA!!!! 😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Battery car 😂
