I GAMBLED ON A 1.0 ECOBOOST FORD FOCUS FROM BCA AUCTION 🥵

When they did the oil pump they must surely have changed both belts? Can you find out? Also make sure they used oil that has the WSS-M2C948-B specification. If not then get an oil change immediately and put that stuff in. Castrol 0W20 Magnatec is what Ford uses but it must be WSS-M2C948-B because that's compatible with the wet belts. If you use that at every service, that engine should easily last another 10 years/100k miles. That's a great buy. The reason people have problems is because they use the wrong oil and it eats the belts. The facelift cars shouldn't have any of the cooling issues of the earlier car either, so you've got a lovely car there.

I hope you dont have any problems. It seems if you have it regularly serviced should be okay and use the correct oils.

I have had 4 Focus cars. 2 Mk1s 1 Mk3 and now a Mk4. No major problems with any, had 1 Mk1 for 10 years and the Mk3 8 years.

I got a 2016 fiesta 1 litre ecoboost. Only found out about the problems with the ecoboost 3 weeks ago. Going to get the wetbelt and cambelts changed as a precaution. £900 + VAT.

Any updates on car?

Mines gone 100 thousand miles 2015 not a single issue

Why do Wet belts fail...

How can a 1ltr engine, be much good in a heavy car, a motorcycle yes , old mini of the 60s 7os yes, but a Ford focus?
