Fiesta MK7 1.0 EcoBoost Engine Rebuild | Part 2 

Mate been in the motor trade 30 years and have 8 techs working for me , your doing a cracking job well done

I have been quoted £700 for my fiesta ecoboost timing belt and tensioner to be replaced. I walked away thinking " oh yeah they must think I was born yesterday"😀 Having watched this series ,Iam going to run back to them and beg them to take my money 😲👍

I respect what you said about people always putting in their 2 cents! We always respond by saying to them "Well let me go to your channel and see how it's done" when they have NOTHING on their channel🤣🤣 you're doing a great job!!!

I was a motorcycle mechanic for 5 years and recently left the trade but bought an ST150 as a project. It’s coming together and watching your vids is motivating and entertaining at the same time! I thought you were a mechanic before you said you weren’t so you must be pretty competent. Anyway, half the techs I used to work with always used to say that they were winging it!

I’m glad someone has done this and documented it ! Keep it going great watch

big thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the 1 ltr EcoBust

I have the dam issue on the mk8 just about to take the head off hoping it's somthing like the gasket and not anything more serious this help alot thank you 🙏

You're doing a fantastic job so far. Best detailed video I've seen for ecoboost 1.0 teardown and timing tool use. Any update on part 3 ?

Really enjoyed watching this series so far, the bracing of the engine was a great idea.

Great video again, you always find a DIY solution which makes this channel great! Keep up the great work!

Excellent video owned a focus with this engine installed ran very well but now exchanged for a Honda civic. Can't wait for the completion of this engine very interesting and well done for attempting it.

Mend it bend it, that breaker bar has taken some stick 😂😂 quality video mate 👌🏻

Great video and your right not all of us are mechanics we all learn by watching and listening and if we make a mistake then you learn From it

Well done taking on such a complicated little engine

loving the video mate, as always such an inspiration

Nothing but admiration for taking it on. The 'torque multiplier' and engine brace in the hall was genius. A triumph of hope over broken engine adversity. More power to your elbow!

Great video! Amazing perseverance. Bin wondering about trying something like this myself and this convinced me it’s worth having a go!

When i saw the engine sliding and you saying "could really use another pair of hands" ... I was thinking. Wtf is Ash 🤣🤣. Great video mate welldone.

Excellent content !!!!! Definitely subscribing to this channel. Love his have ago approach. Has the saying goes if it's broke have a go because you can't break something that's broke....😉👍

Great video mate. Take no notice of people who complain. You'll never learn by shying away from things. Looking forward to seeing you progress with the job and car. Love your torque multiplier 🤣

Fantastic video! So refreshing to hear such honesty about learning as you go along, and also retaining the trial-and-error attempts at getting the crankshaft bolt undone - you could've easily edited all that out and jumped straight to the hall-based-clamping-system but no, you kept in the previous attempts that we would've all made even if deep down we knew it probably wouldn't work! I wonder if an impact gun would've helped? I've got an el-cheapo 12v one which really punches above its weight (actually, it's dead heavy and it's also dead slow!) and has managed to undo many a fastening that I could've sworn were welded together. Great work and commentary; thanks for sharing! My wife's Ecoboost is due a new timing belt next year and whilst I've done a few belts now on other cars I won't be attempting this one... Somewhat nervously I don't want to pay a fortune for someone else to do it so I've decided to take the risk and see how we go. As much as I love her Fiesta I don't think I'd buy another with an Ecoboost in it - great on paper but I'm not impressed with its serviceability.

Great video

Excellent video. I'm also a diyer. Enjoyed the timber supports lol

The only thing you are doing wrong is justifying why you are doing what you are. If people don't like it, they know where the back button is.

Awesome work 😃👍 I'm subscribing 😊

Fair play, you done well there & I love your torque multiplier 💪💪 At last someone else with some common sense, just get it tight 👏👏

Excellent work! Stop justifying yourself for the work as well. Just nuts and bolts at the end of the day. I done the same on my Focus Rs with a little help from some friends in my garage and that is still running ( just about lol)

Need to start working on cars full time mate, your quality of work and attention to detail is top notch

Well done for undoing that bolt, it is massive compared to the ST150's. Goes to show, the failure was just little imperfection somewhere and has caused some damage. But fix it and send it... Very brave!

Good video, I wait to see how your are going to tighten that crank bolt up 😂😂

I have just hd my wet belt done and pump belt the garage did it without taking the sump off. The looked at the pick up pipe with a mirror and said it was clean car only done 51k but 7 yers old. I still don't trust them as they said all sorts of stuff o yes we took this off that off. And when i inspected it the bolts had not been touched. When confronted they said o yes we did it without taking that off. Charged me £1100 wet belt pump belt seal aux belt. This summer i am planning on taking the sump off to check the pick up pipe myself. Great video let me know if you can see the oil pick up pipe from the side with the sump still on. Great video loved watching it. 🙏🫶👍

One day Ford will come clean with these engines and admit that fitting a substandard cooling system caused these issues

Thanks

well done that man …wicked vid mike …keep them coming ..😎😎😎…lovin the breaker bar😂 ..canna beat a long length of pipe …does the job thats all that matters 👍👍… was cringing a tad …though the socket bar was gunna ping 😂😂

These videos have persuaded me to buy a 2012 focus ecoboost off a friend for practically scrap value. Can't wait for part 3. Did you save the head ?

Waiting on your next video

I like ur style

Well done and loving the series, the only video on RU-vid showing the bolt removal in a diy setting, top marks!. According to Haynes, the new bolt should be tightened 300Nm plus 90deg, might be easier to tighten it finally when in the car

A great job is done! Waiting for the end of the story. Is that big bolt (that to untight it you were using a pipe) also locking the cambelt wheel?

Hi, where you buy special tools for camshaft locking..?

Now that ive watched the videos I"m not touching my 1ltr ecoboost! My only issue was the coolant hose running so close to the oil filter. I managed to nick it with a chain wrench oil filter removal tool!! I shortened it to remove the nick, but now its too close to the filter! I will use extra hose and a joining pipe before the next filter change.

I'm just about to do my ecoboost timing belt got most parts together now. I'm lucky to have a torque wrench that goes up to 700Nm. When it comes to tightening the crankshaft pulley bolt It says in the Haynes manual if using a torque wrench to do the first two steps as instructed by ford then using a torque wrench tighten the bolt to 340Nm then a Further 90 degrees, is that the same info you've been given? Don't forget the new shim washer between the timing belt pulley and harmonic pulley.

What size is the Ribe bit used on these

Great video mate, I'm currently trying to change the head gasket on the same engine as you. I got to the stage where I need to remove the crankshaft bolt but I find it very difficult. I'm using the same 'torque multiplier' as you breaker bar and pipe. Problem is I have broken two breaker bars trying to remove this bolt already haha. What sort of breaker bar did you use and can you recommend anything that might help with the removal of this damn bolt haha. Thanks

I am inspired by you.

Any chance you could show me how you attached it to the engine stand please?

Its the groove in the top of your cylinders. A know weak point on the 4 cylinder ecoboosts and this 3 banger has the same groove. The later 4 cyls have a revised block without this groove - I wonder if the 3 cyls also have this revision.

Subbed

My focus 1.0 ecoboost I plugged my other diagnostics scanner in and it says this fault is Power supply fuel pump Short circuit to positive or open Intermittent I ordered a low pressure fuel pump that will sort it i can start the car and rev it up but when let it idle car just dies and if i rev it it will stay running for a couple of minutes with accelerator keot pushed down a bit thanks for your info mate

send it and see my man

Hey bro thanks for the vid. Where is part 3? What happend to the engine?

My engine went boom and your videos are serious motivation to sort mine out. When you put coolant into the tank, did the coolant just completely disappear before you removed the engine ? Also would it crank but not start ?

Think the block might warp if u disassemble, heard it off a buddy working Evans halshaw Try to check the block isn't warped somehow before rebuild

What mileage has the engine covered? Great work!

Did you find the issue yet? If it was like mine there was a crack in the exhaust port - the pressure test will flag it up

Can one replaces 2013 model of 1.0 with 2018 model of 1.0 ecosport engine

Hi there, your video is great. I am working on the same car but stumbled on your video a bit too late for me. At minute 6:15 you explain that the flat spots on the camshafts should be lined up. I am having to redo that step. When you are lining it up, the non-shiny surface on both the camshafts have to face downwards--- horizontal to the ground, correct. Thanks!

Did you establish what size Ribe bit was needed for the head bolts? Hoping not to remove the head but want to be prepared

Any progress? Regarding the head bolts I contacted a tool manufacturer/supplier (AST). Their tech dept said they are Polydrive and that their M10 Ribe bit (AST4426) would do the job. They actually have an engine at their facility to check.

What mileage had this engine done

what was wrong with a normal dry timing belt i dont know, would mean engines would last more than 50K and you need to replace the engine preferably a 1.4 froma a fiesta mk6

Sweet! so how do you plan on getting the torque right on the bolt for the crank pulley? I think its like 300 or 400nm torque setting. looking forward to the next video.

It's to slow down the water flow, otherwise the thermostat won't work properly

Ford blocks had a defect. TSB for Fusion and Escape ecoboost 4 cylinder. The top of your block has grooves cut inbetween the cylinders. The new updated block does not. Huge issue with this engine, coolant leaking into the cylinder. Low coolant and P0301, 302, 303, 0r 304 misfire code. Ford design flaw, see US lawsuit.

Do you have that engine in your living room? Lol. Ive had engine parts on the kitchen table many times😂😂

Still they decided to use a belt and not a chain:/

Ford engines in general are just a joke to do the timing belt on. keyless crank need burning to the floor, its possible for the crank pully to move during the re tightening procedure, not by much but there have been horror stories where the crank pullys been 1/4 of a tooth out and the whole engine has thrown a tantrum because as far as the PCM is concerned its out of time , your saving grace is Peugeot actually made the system WORSE on their version of the 1l engine by having not just a floating crank pully but a floating oil pump pully with NO friction washers. if it aint tight it will slip

Looks like he is doing this work in his Bedroom 🤣🤣

tak for videoen 👍, jeg reparerer også mit vadested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5lhQR8jkUNM.html

What kind of idiot designs an engine with timing belt INSIDE!!! it should be a chain
