Additional notes
- Ford EcoBoost 1.0 3-cylinder has a known coolant-into-cylinder issue. Degas bottle (coolant tank) drops level without visible leak. Ford redesigned the block after 2018. CHECK coolant level trend. If dropping, budget €1,500-3,000 for repair (may need new block).
- Ford 1.0 EcoBoost 3-cylinder (pre-2016 models) with 60k+ km: internal coolant hose delamination can cause catastrophic overheating without warning. The hose breaks down internally and blocks coolant flow. Head gasket failure follows if not caught. Ford issued a recall for some VINs (2012-2016). Also check for turbo coolant pipe failure. Post-2016 models used improved parts. Always verify if the recall was performed.
