No idea on your other questions but the 2.0 ecoboost uses a simplex chain set up not a belt of any description.

Quote from: Grant2012 on March 18, 2022, 12:00:58 PMIt's been ironed out for later models hasn't it?

Are all ecoboost engines a bit troublesome or is it just the 1.0 thats crap? I've been looking at a 2.0 Ecoboost in the Ford edge which drove lovely and only has 30k on the clock. Do they have wet belts and would you get one? Is the Ecoboost the same as the ecogreen does anyone know?

Never heard of an ecogreen in relation to Ford, but I'd guess that might be a hybrid?

Truth be known, you just can't beat a good old fashioned ordinary turbo diesel.
I drive a Seat Alhambra 1.9Tdi which has 115bhp and an automatic gearbox.

I am happy to help you with all your questions. I am not a qualified mechanic but seem to be better at fixing my car than even the most experienced garages.

I have lots of friends here and very much enjoy talking with you all. Always remember, a motor car is a serious tool and should be treated with respect. Put your safety first, always.

You definitely can beat an old fashioned turbo diesel these days, don't get me wrong the PD's were good in their day but things have moved on now. Better economy,better emissions and heaps more power from the latest diesels and petrols for that matter

My old bmw 3 series with n57 was mapped and putting out over 300hp, aside from a rocker cover gasket and servicing it never missed a beat. Sold it at 160k miles and it still going strong 2 years later. I suppose some have issues where as some are absolutely fine. The key is proper maintenance with regular oil and filter changes. Incidentally that's the biggest contributing factor in bmw timing chains failing,condition based servicing to please leasing companies meaning oil stays in far too long causing premature wear.

No idea what engine merc use in them.

Thank you, what would you say is the correct interval for changing the oil please?
