RayC333 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 A potential fault to be aware of is age deterioration of the turbocharger system vacuum pipes and connectors. When recently repairing a 2012 1.0 Ecoboost engine the 2 into 1 connector to the vacuum solenoid valve cracked during handling (brittle fracture). More recently, 800 miles after repair the car had a gradual then complete loss of turbo boost. On inspection, a rubber vacuum pipe to the same vacuum solenoid valve (front position) had split (see photo). Easy to see, access and check. Don't assume a loss of boost/power is one of the major components. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
