Hi I've got a 2015 fiesta zetec-s red edition 1.0 ecoboost no problems until recently first the turbo started losing power & I read somewhere about changing the oil so I did that but no change & then 2 days later the cambelt failed I since learnt about cleaning to sump out at same time. I'm not sure what damage it's done but would it be worth putting a recon engine or repairing the one that's in it because neither ones going to be cheap. I know it's hard for people to comment without knowing the damage but any advice would be much appreciated thanks

    Will be cheaper and safer to fit a new engine - I mean a brand new one, not a used one that's had a jetwash and a wipe over lol.

    Once the cambelt fails the damage will be considerable, and you can never be sure that you've cleaned every bit of debris out of the oil ways.
