I have a 2018 Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost. Love the car, especially vs the 2.5 I had in my 2013 Fusion. My 2018 suffered the coolant intrusion issue at 20,000 miles and Ford covered a block replacement.

I have a 2023 1.5 which is the 3cyl engine. At 800 miles the coolant passages got blocked with metal shavings coming from engine break in... I did notice a difference in power switching the engine to a 93 octane over the 87. Hopefully with a new cylinder head I will be good for many miles to come.

I have the 182hp 1.5 4 cylinder engine and was thinking of getting it tuned, many companies claim stage 1 can bring a large increase in low end Torque which would feel good during daily driving. Would this increase the chances of the coolant intrusion and other problems occuring or are these problems unrelated to tuning. I do understand that tuning an engine puts additional stress on the engine but the idea of stage 1 is that it is well within tolerances imposed by manufacturers, especially here in the UK where 99 Octane fuel (E5) is very common.

I have a 2019 ecoboost fusion with 80k miles. Having some serious stuttering, misfiring, loss of power at top of WOT. Changed spark plugs and they look white. Can't get rid of this issue. Makes me want to get rid of the car.

Watch out for the biggest problem: the fuel injectors can crack and cause a fire. Happened to me. No one injured, but that could have easily not been the case.

Hey don great video. But I have a question for you and was wondering if you ever came across this one. I’m currently working on a 2017 ford escape 1.5 i4 and have a misfire in cyl #4. I started with ruling out the coils then moved on to the plugs. Noticed the #4 plug was soaked in oil so I stuck my scope down there to take a look and the whole cylinder is coated in oil. No coolant issue though. Vehicle has 40,000miles on its Is this a common issue as well and what do you think could be the cause.

A - Unfortunately, this is not a great sign and needs to be addressed ASAP. It's likely a valve cover gasket leak or leaking piston rings.

@@8020Media thanks for the reply don I appreciate it. I also did a compression test as well and the cylinder has definitely failed. 20-25 psi. I stopped moving forward with the work after that. I was going to take the vehicle to ford and let them take it from there. And hope it’s covered under the recall. Cause my warranty is over now. If not I would probably just buy a new motor and do the swap my self. Owned the vehicle since new but hardly used it
