matrix001 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thinking of buying a 2015 1500 Ecoboost petrol. I don't really do enough miles to consider the diesel.I have read a lot of negative reports on the 3 cyl Ecoboost, so don,t want to go down that route. Are there any known weakness,s/faults with the 1500 Eco.I have got a Mk1 Zetec 1.6 and a Mk2 Zetec 1.6 at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The 3 cyl 1.0 ecoboost is a great engine. There were a few issues with split coolant pipes, but if you are looking around 2015 it won't be an issue and will come with the auxiliary coolant pump too. The 1.5 is a very characterless engine (particularly compared to the 1.0), it doesn't feel faster, if anything it can feel slower as it's so undramatic. Also early 1.5s can have rattley turbo waste gates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky128 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I've got the 1.5 having had the 1 litre the car before I can say it has a lot more poke and a lovely noise out the back when pushed. Can only speak from my experience Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
