1.0 EcoBoost: coolant disappears internally and the cylinder head can crack

critical

On this engine the coolant disappears internally, with no external trace. It starts in two places: the material of the plastic degas hose running to the expansion tank ages and cracks, or the connection of the coolant hose to the cylinder head lets through. In a more severe case the degas chamber of the cylinder head itself cracks or warps, and then the coolant seeps into the combustion chamber or into the oil. Because no puddle forms, the level drops quietly and the engine overheats: the temperature gauge starts to climb mainly after a longer motorway stretch. The further signs are white steam from the exhaust, a sweetish smell, and misfiring that gets worse when warm. Ford issued a service bulletin for this (19-2346) and an extended warranty for certain model years as well. The coolant hose and the degas tank are available in a revised design, and engines built around 2016 and later already have the better material connection and tank. If the fault is found early and the head has not warped, the repair is replacing the hose and the tank, between 50 and 300 euro. If it is found late, the head gasket or the whole cylinder head follows, and that is 2,500 to 5,500 euro. The leak is reported above 80,000 km and the cracking of the head above 100,000 km.

above 80,000 km50–5,500 EUR

What to check

  • Look at the level in the expansion tank and ask how much has to be topped up
  • Look for a puddle or a streak under the engine: if the level drops with no trace, the leak is internal
  • Unscrew the oil filler cap and look for mayonnaise-like residue, which is coolant in the oil

6-speed manual: the clutch fractures

critical

The clutch can fracture, the break damages the transmission case, and gearbox oil can leak from it. The car may become immobile, and the leaking oil can ignite on the hot engine or exhaust.

Show the rest

Ford issued three campaigns. The first went out in March 2018 (18V169000) for the 1.6 EcoBoost with the 6-speed manual, the second in November 2018 (18V845000) for the 1.0 EcoBoost cars, and the third in June 2026 (26V376000) because part of the earlier repairs had been done incorrectly. A car that has had the repair is not necessarily in order.

In the European range the 1.0 EcoBoost with the 6-speed manual is the most common Focus.

What to check

  • Pull away from a standstill several times: the clutch must not shudder, slip or kick
  • Pull away on a hill using the clutch: slipping shows up here first
  • Look under the car around the transmission housing: fresh or dried oil traces can mean a break

Door latch: the latching component breaks and the door can open while driving

critical

A component inside the door latch breaks, so the latch no longer holds properly: the door is hard to close, or it only catches on the first detent. The driver and the passenger may believe the door is properly shut when it is not, and it can open while driving.

Show the rest

Ford issued five campaigns between 2015 and 2023, and two of them, 20V331000 and 23V775000, recalled cars where the earlier repair had not been carried out properly. The 2020 campaign names six models: the 2011-2014 Fiesta, the 2012-2015 Focus, the 2013-2015 C-Max, the 2014-2016 Transit Connect, the 2015 Mustang and the 2013-2014 Fusion. The factory repair fits a revised door latch.

What to check

  • Close all four doors with normal force: none should need slamming, and none should bounce back
  • Push each door half shut: it must hold on the first detent, with no play
  • Open and close each one from the outside and the inside, including the child locks at the rear

Steering gear: the servo motor bolts corrode and the power assist is lost

critical

The electric power steering motor is attached to the steering gear housing with bolts. Slush thrown up from salted roads reaches those bolts and corrodes them. If a bolt cracks or falls out, the motor can separate from the housing and the power assist is lost: the steering becomes heavy, especially at low speed and when parking.

Show the rest

Ford issued two campaigns, in 2015 and in 2019, both specifically for the US states where roads are salted in winter. The factory repair replaces the bolts and applies a wax sealer; if any bolt is broken or missing, the whole steering gear is replaced. The same load arises anywhere roads are salted in winter.

What to check

  • With the car stationary, turn the wheel fully both ways: the assist must not cut out or be heavier on one side
  • After starting, check the dash: the power steering warning light must not stay on
  • From underneath, look at where the motor meets the steering gear: no rust streaks on the bolts, and none missing

MMT6 manual: worn shift mechanism, hard shifting when cold

expensive

The gearbox itself is reliable, but the shift mechanism wears noticeably between 100,000 and 150,000 km. Shifting becomes stiff, and it is most obvious when cold: the lever does not want to find its place, or the gear only goes in with force.

Show the rest

At high mileage the synchros on the first two gears wear out, and then the shift grates. The gearbox comes with a dual-mass flywheel, which is not the most durable part either.

between 100,000 and 150,000 km

What to check

  • Set off from cold: both first and second must engage without snagging
  • Stop and select reverse: it must not grate or need force
  • While rolling, change down into second: this is where worn synchros are audible

1.0 EcoBoost: the wet timing belt breaks down early

expensive

The timing belt runs in oil, under its cover, and cannot be seen from outside. Contaminants building up in the oil attack the belt material, so it breaks down early if oil changes are skipped or the oil level drops below the minimum on the dipstick. Fragments of the disintegrating belt end up in the sump and can block the oil pickup, after which the engine is left without oil pressure.

Show the rest

The early signs are a rattle on cold start, slowly rising oil consumption and the oil pressure warning light. The factory replacement interval is ten years or 150,000 miles, but Haynes recommends replacing it at least two years and 50,000 miles earlier. A professional belt change costs more than GBP 2,000, and that is less work than cleaning out the sump, the oil pickup and the lubrication system after the belt has already broken up.

In engines built after December 2019 Ford switched to a timing chain. The water pump is driven by the same belt, so a failure of the water pump bearing can take the belt with it. This is an interference engine, so when the belt snaps the valves and the pistons meet.

What to check

  • Start it from cold and listen to the first seconds: a rattle is a sign the belt is breaking down
  • Check the level and condition of the oil on the dipstick: a level below minimum speeds up the breakdown
  • Ask for the service book and the oil change invoices: here the skipped change is the cause

IB6 manual: little oil, leaks, and the synchro noise that follows

expensive

The gearbox is light and compact and reliable, but the small oil quantity makes it sensitive to leaks: not much has to escape before the level becomes critical.

Show the rest

Most complaints about synchro noise actually come from this, from the low oil level rather than from the synchro itself. Beyond that the input shaft bearing can wear out and reverse can fail. Every version comes with a dual-mass flywheel, which is not the most durable part.

What to check

  • Look at the gearbox housing from underneath: fresh oil means a leak, and here that is the main cause
  • Ask when the oil level was last checked and whether it has ever been topped up
  • While rolling, change down into second and third: grating means worn synchros

  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
