GarethW99 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi everyone, just asking some advice here based on this article I came across today (https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/miscellaneous/2018-08/urgent-appeal-to-owners-of-ford-10-ecoboost-engines/) I’m not the most ‘under the bonnet’ savvy person, I have attached a picture of my engine - please could someone take a look to see if the pipe has been modified on my ecoboost engine? Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioneon Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Looks like it's the correct harder version of the pipe. It's the one that runs into the top half of the bottle/tank at the very top left of the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 cant be sure from pic but looks like you the brittle plastic pipe not the newer rubber hose. The pipe that goes to the top of the coolant reservoir. also these engines have the rusty metal coolant pipes on the turbo to worry about also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 just noticed my post is the opposite of the other reply at same time. I thought the narrow wall brittle platsic pipe was replaced by the more traditional style of rubber hose, at least I am sure it was on the focus with same engine. I do not know if fiesta was modified in same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethW99 Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hi everyone Just seen a ‘whatcar’ article now which I hadn’t read before posting this which stated that the 1.0 Ecoboost re-call with the bad pipe was only for the Ford Focus, and not the Fiesta. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I'd keep clear of Honest John tbh...lots of questionable 'information' over there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Tom, I was concerned when I read the article, but further research led me to findinf this “https://www.whatcar.com/news/ford-ecoboost-engine-recall-–-what-you-need-to-know/n17972” which stated: “The 1.0-litre engine recall only concerns the Focus.” :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recall did only affect the Focus, but the very early Fiesta's also had a different degas hose issue. Instead of being full rubber as yours is, it had a metal section which rusted badly and could potentially cause a leak. Yours is fine though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethW99 Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 @TomsFocus I remember we talked about a few other pipes and their potential to rust on the ecoboost engines... I’ve attached an image of the current state of mine. As you can see mine have a little rust... would be a good idea to use WD40 on these to scrape it off? It doesnt look like any corrosion is there, just some rust on the surface of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt look like any corrosion is there, just some rust on the surface of it Yeah, that's just a bit of surface rust so far, it would be worth rubbing them down with a bit of sandpaper and then painting them to stop any further rust imo. You won't need any WD40 though, all that'll do it stop any paint adhering properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other metal paint should be fine as well, Hammerite etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They May have issued recall on Focus! But the fiesta has same problem ! same setup and overheats. The top hose is way to small for the turbo eco boost 2.0 lite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
