This has set my mind at ease as my 1.5 petrol is noisy and a garage said it’s normal, guess it’s just nice to get it told to me twice as I tend to overthink things like this.
Glad to hear that...my daughter's sounds just like that.The little engine sounds like a diesel runs good though You can hear those injectors plain as day
Thank you for this! I just got my used 2019 ford escape used about two months ago and have been freaking out thinking something was wrong! The previous owner doesn’t know what happened to the engine cover so mine is always extra loud. Thank you for the piece of mind!!
I love the sounds and the 2020+ escape 1.5's don't have many mechanical issues as well. It's detuned from like 250hp one tune away from more fun and guys doing the tunes are reporting no problem after a year and they drive rough. The resale value is insane too!
I just put a high pressure fuel pump and tappet on my 2018 ford Escape with this motor. The tappet under the fuel pump was damaged and ruined the fuel pump. Even with the new parts it is still very noisy. Thank you so much for posting this video.
I got an Acura ILX 2019 with DI and I thought something was wrong from the clicking coming from the engine, my older car (hyundai accent 2010) never made these sounds so I was kinda confused at first! Went to see a car mechanic and he told me the same things you've just said! Thanks for these videos it's quite reassuring for old car owners!
all my direct injected cars hhave been loud with the high pressure injectors and the pcv system both clicking. This ones definitely louder and with wayyyy less miles. Appreciate relieving my anxiety lol
It seems a lot of these GDI engines have that loud ticking noise from the high pressure fuel delivery system. I used to have a Kia optima with the 2.4L DI engine that even made more noise. Kia/hyundai had to recall and replace the blocks on so many of those 2.4s because metal shavings were sometimes left in the crankshaft from the milling process and would block the oil ports and cause the engine to sieze up. Nice video!

Thank you so much man, I really needed this, considering one of the ignition coils in my 2016 Focus broke recently so im very attentive of any sounds coming from the engine lol This Vid reassured me that everything's okay. Thanks again! ❤
They are noisy but I love them. Great low end power, decent gas mileage on a trip, just no top end power. Ford should have put an overboost program in the ECU for like a 15 second blast to get around slower vehicles on 2 lane roads. Aside from that, I think it's a great engine.
It does have the overboost function, at least on the Focus with 134kW 240N.m for 15s but 1st and 2nd gear is torque limited so it's only available from 3rd onwards at WOT.
really ? this is not a problem ? this is how the engine work rly ? i have 1.5 ecoboost kuga this noice makes me mad rly i tought something is wrong :D thank you man rly u get a sub
I have a 2014 Ford Fusion with the 1.5. I took it in because it was rattling loudly on startup, but once it warmed up the rattling would stop. I was indeed told that the “rattling” I heard was the high pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors. Very noisy engine indeed.
The fuel pump always makes noise that rattling is probably the turbo pivot point where the clip rattles back and forth until it heats up enough to take up all the extra space

Hi Jerry hope your car is holding up! Question I just bought one asp 2019 and the same thing I am curious did you ever have any problems? What’s your opinion?
Coming from a 2021 hyundai venue, which, when fully warm, you could hardly tell was on, to a 2021 Ford Escape that sounds like this, it was quite concerning. Glad to know it's normal. 😅
Just like my 2017 Ford Kuga (Escape). It is very hot, afraid of overheating. Lukoil (an oil manufacturer) produces a special oil with molybdenum for this engine. Low noise and long service life.
If you can add something to it without compromising the Integrity of how the vehicle was designed sure I don't see a problem with that but if you're adding things to this vehicle that wasn't specifically designed it to be in that vehicle that's where the problem comes in outside of that you can do what you feel is necessary

I have a 1.5 liter 2017 Ford escape and when I start it it nakes a whining sound plus when I ecelerate it whines. I got the transmission fluid topped off and checked out. Nothing is wrong with tranny and I put a new serpentine belt on it. Still makes a whining sound. If you have any answers please reply. Thanks
Thank you for this hopefully nothing is wrong w mine either I never noticed any leaks only have had it so far like 5 days if that I got a 2018 eco boost 2.2 cyl I believe
I feel like if it’s supposed to sound like this then why didn’t they sound like this new? Further more, I hear other people in the same car pull up in parking lots and park with no ticking noise. I think the valves need adjusted or something. I had a complete timing kit installed because they said it was cam phaser noise and after install, noise still there. Frustrating when I need to count on it for long distance drives.
Thankyou relived some stress, however I filled up my 1.5 with gas and it started having an erratic idle.. went away in a few minutes but it would drop 200rpms and wanted to die. What could this be? I’m half way across the country and I use Sunoco gas station so ik I got good gas. I’ll be taking it into the dealer when I get home😢
Got a strange fast ticking noise when letting off the gas after heavy acceleration. Typically only happens at 3k RPM and higher and lasts for a couple seconds. 1.5L ecoboost. Curious if anyone has any insight. First mechanic opinion defaulted to a new motor with no real root cause of the issue.
Had a lifter tick. Didn't think much of it. Got a number 2 cylinder misfire code. Replaced the no.2 coil pack. Still have the misfire and no ticking. Thinking I got a bad lifter
I know it is hard to diagnose but.. I have a 2020 1.5 fusion with about 2,800 miles. (Don't drive it much, back up car) whenever i turn off the engine there is a loud squealing noise. It sounds like something is just freely spinning when I turn off the engine. It last for about 5-7 seconds. Thanks Jason
The car still makes the squeaking sound even If the ac is off. It does not make the squeaking sound while the engine is running. Only when the engine is turned off. It sounds like a free wheeling (pulley/impeller) I don't know what could free wheel for about 3-5 seconds. If I had to describe the sound in text it would be ree ree ree ree ree for 4 seconds. On another note have you ever thought of a body mount for your phone while your working on cars during your livestream so you have both hand free?
Are the problems corrected in the new models? I kinda like the bronco sport but I'm not sure about that engine. What do you think of the new ones as far as reliability?
The big bronco has a v6 twin turbo, I believe. But I know if it’s the small one it has a 3 cylinder with a turbo. I’m not sure if it’s faster than the 1.5’s.
I know this was posted 2y ago but i was wondering if the reason this engine was just replaced was due to the coolant issue because ive got a 2019 dated in april (was told after february they fixed the block) but im also having a weird click issue for when after i rev it in park at the 4k limiter for 2 seconds and let off, once she settles down, a click happens. I assume its a valve or something closing but im only a mechanic for diesel trucks
Hey, I'm looking to buy my daughter a used ford escape. What in your opinion is the most reliable year/engine? Keep these videos coming this channel is going to blow-up.
I have the 1.5L eco boost and I have the same noises but out of curiosity, when you rev (normally between 1000-1500 revs) or when the revs drop did you get what sounds like a whirring noise which then dies down to the whirling noise you hear in that engine at idle?
Great video BOSS, is it normal to hear the humming noise coming from the timing belt pulley after engine warms up? Because when engine cold it runs with NO humming till it start warming up!!!
Honestly the 1.5L Ecoboost my least favorite engine. I thought the gas mileage wasn’t that great and it barely moved. Very slow. Is they unjustified? I drove it in all of the vehicles you mentioned. The 2L Ecoboost in my wife’s Escape seems to be better to me as a non mechanic.
Yeah the 1.5L is a little underpowered for the weight of some of the cars they put it in (like the fusion and escape). It gets the job done, but a 1.6 or 1.7 would have been ideal. A lot of cars went to 1.5 liters though to avoid a 'engine displacement tax' in the China market for their high volume selling cars. Chevy did the same with their 1.5L turbo.
I got a question to you, ford boss me, please, don’t hesitate to take a look. I got a ford focus ecoboost 2017, had the well known second and fourth cylinder pistons break down without cracking the block. I know where this is coming from, but anyways, had the engine rebuilt by a good master, the engine worked perfect after this, then at 8k miles later check engine went off, turned out the fourth cylinder piston cracked again. Had it replaced solely, and now while idling there’s a slight hammering sound coming from the inside of the engine which has never been around before. The car runs well, fuel and coolant levels are fine but I’m worried what this might be? I’m not from the us, your advice would be much appreciated! Ps. Subscribed.
Piston isn't the issue it's the updated short block, the blocks don't crack they already have machined slots in them and the new updated ones don't You need a new short block
@@FordBossMeyeah I know what you are saying, during the first repair those machine made slices in between the cylinders were filled with aluminum and when the fourth piston cracked again those sliced lines were intact. I’m thinking about the cranks that may be causing this noise, is that a possibility? New short block in Russia now costs around $2300 which is not an option for me at the moment… P.S. I’m not Russian although live in this place
I have a 2016 Fusion with this engine. At 123,000 miles, the only problem I have had is the intake vvt solenoid got stopped up at the screen on the end with some kind of grit. That was last week. I cleaned it and deleted the code and everything seems to be fine. I just wonder what the screen was stopped up with. I don't know if it's pieces of the cam follower on the hp fuel pump, walnut shells from the recent induction service, or something else. I'm just wondering if I can have a look at that follower without having to disassemble the fuel line.
@@FordBossMe Okay. I was hoping I could just relieve the pressure somehow and take the two bolts out and lift it up. I haven't looked at it closely yet. Doesn't it take special tools to remove and reconnect the fuel line?
How come some of the turbos have very long spark plug change intervals - almost as long as an NA engine - but some are very short. What is it on the 1.5? for example, my Hyundai 1.6 turbo calls for plugs at 45k miles. Maybe because its a higher compression design?
Okay, well that makes me feel better. But is the block supposed to vibrate a little while running? It's not banging. It's not jumping. It's not lifting like a broken engine mount. But when I started it hood open (with beauty cover on) with my remote star, the engine shook a little and then vibrated while idling. But, it sounds exactly like this. No worse and no better.
Hi. I would like to ask you for an answer. I need to replace in my Escape 1.5 ecoboost AWD with automatic transmission the differential pinion seal (GB5Z-7H426-A) on the right CV axcel. Do I need to drain the oil from the automatic transmission? I would be very grateful for your help. Best regards from Poland
You are going to lose just a little bit of fluid so make sure you have your oil drop pan underneath it but there's no reason to drain the transmission it's not very much that you lose
It comes with a belt I mean if you look through my videos here you can see what it comes with you'll see all kinds of 1.5 L EcoBoost coolant intrusion videos
Hey boss I bought a 2014 Ford fusion 1.5 Ecoboost and it seems to slightly misfire when it's warming up (cold start) at about 700-900 rpm but once it warms up it's okay. I did a tune up and it's still doing it, changed spark plugs air filter and cleaned the throttle body, old spark plugs seemed to be burning fine. Any tips on what it could be, there's no check engine light on. The car has 87k
@@FordBossMe I've driven a brand new Murano that was noisier than this, modern 4 bangers are too complex, bring back the SPI2000, it's a grossly underpowered non interference 4 banger that even after 220K miles runs like a sewing machine, only noise you hear is the subtle whine of the power steering pump which gets noisy after that many miles, only has 110hp and 120ft-lb but it can get a Tracer wagon up to speed fast enough for most and when power is run through a G5M stick you can get 40mpg at 55mph in the wagon, this wagon isn't geared very well for interstate speeds, but pairing the SPI2000 with the 6F would make a heavenly combo IMO, the utter lack of power means no matter how hard you push it you won't stress the transmission in the slightest
I mean I can't interpret everybody's version of a sound over a message you have to send me something in order for me to tell you if something's normal plus I have plenty of videos showing you the noises I don't know what else to tell you
My sisters 2016 ford fusion makes a similar sound however its more clicky and its more noticeable when the heater is running in the car while it idles...ill try to post a video if u would like to see.....i get the idea that my moms boyfriend watched yur video and suddenly he is a car mechanic and swears theres nothing wrong with it, however when my sister hot her car i remember it would idle almost soundless kind of like what any nee car sounds like when its idling
@@FordBossMe thanks for the reply. I just fixed the issue where I fill the car(fusion) up with gas and then it doesn’t fire right away. $133 purge valve cp909 Seems to fixed the problem
When I turn my 2.0 Ecoboost off I hear for about 1 second like a little ticking sound almost like a exhaust leak but I'm guessing it's something to do with the high pressure fuel system
Hey Ford boss, i need some help. I have a 2014 ford fusion SE 1.5L that has an oil leak. My mechanic replaced the rocker cover gasket, the variable camshaft solenoid as well as the o rings on the injectors. Now, all those areas are sealed but there is oil coming from the oil cap. My mechanic states that it is the turbo that needs replacing because of back pressure. I bought this car last year and it has 40k miles. So the car was sitting for a while. do you have suggestions of what I can do to figure out the true cause? do you also think i need a new turbo?
Your mechanic would be wrong about needing a new Turbo, a turbo is not going to cause excessive pressure in the valve cover and oil to come out what ends up happening is you have blow by and and whenever you have excessive bypass of crankcase pressure it accumulates in the valve cover area and you can push out around oil cap Check and make sure your rubber ring is still on the oil cap
Here is what the tube looks like that goes to the PCV Valve www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2014,fusion,1.5l+l4+turbocharged,3305866,exhaust+&+emission,pcv+(positive+crankcase+ventilation)+hose,11784
In the United States, the Ford Focus never ever came with the 1.5 Ecoboost. The non ST and RS variants came with either a 2.0 or 1.0 Ecoboost. The 1.0 Ecoboost has a bad reputation in both the United States and Europe.
When i’m coasting and slowing down i can feel like my transmission downshift around 20-30mph , my rpms jump from 1100 to around 1400 and i feel a little jerk . is that normal ? I have a 2017

The liter size or the number of the engine model Liter size is on the white sticker on the hood 1.5 or 1.6 or 2.0 The serial number or model number is on the side of the passenger side valve cover
It IS normal. My mechanic with 40 yrs experience also said the Escapes, Edges and Focuses are NOISY. My car sounds exactly like this and he said it's normal. I trust that man with my life. If MY mechanic says it's normal, it's NORMAL
The purge valve canister makes a little bit of the ticking noise but no normally that's from the high pressure fuel pump that's why it has a foam cover over the top of it and the lifters are kind of clattery as well so you have three different things making noise
This has set my mind at ease as my 1.5 petrol is noisy and a garage said it’s normal, guess it’s just nice to get it told to me twice as I tend to overthink things like this.

interesting. looks like theyre using a very similar motor mount setup to the older duratecs in the focuses
Had a lifter tick. Didn't think much of it. Got a number 2 cylinder misfire code. Replaced the no.2 coil pack. Still have the misfire and no ticking. Thinking I got a bad lifter
I know it is hard to diagnose but.. I have a 2020 1.5 fusion with about 2,800 miles. (Don't drive it much, back up car) whenever i turn off the engine there is a loud squealing noise. It sounds like something is just freely spinning when I turn off the engine. It last for about 5-7 seconds. Thanks

Ac bleeding off
Try with the AC off and let me know if it still does it
The car still makes the squeaking sound even If the ac is off. It does not make the squeaking sound while the engine is running. Only when the engine is turned off. It sounds like a free wheeling (pulley/impeller) I don't know what could free wheel for about 3-5 seconds. If I had to describe the sound in text it would be ree ree ree ree ree for 4 seconds. On another note have you ever thought of a body mount for your phone while your working on cars during your livestream so you have both hand free?

Are the problems corrected in the new models? I kinda like the bronco sport but I'm not sure about that engine. What do you think of the new ones as far as reliability?
The big bronco has a v6 twin turbo, I believe. But I know if it’s the small one it has a 3 cylinder with a turbo. I’m not sure if it’s faster than the 1.5’s.
The best motor
I know this was posted 2y ago but i was wondering if the reason this engine was just replaced was due to the coolant issue because ive got a 2019 dated in april (was told after february they fixed the block) but im also having a weird click issue for when after i rev it in park at the 4k limiter for 2 seconds and let off, once she settles down, a click happens. I assume its a valve or something closing but im only a mechanic for diesel trucks
Normally that clicking sound is the purge valve
I Swear I be thinking something wrong with my car..im glad this is normal.
Hey, I'm looking to buy my daughter a used ford escape. What in your opinion is the most reliable year/engine? Keep these videos coming this channel is going to blow-up.
2.5L Non Turbo
2013 - 2019
@@FordBossMe thank you.
Same sound the ecoboost mustang makes but a catback exhaust will somewhat hide it
I have the 1.5L eco boost and I have the same noises but out of curiosity, when you rev (normally between 1000-1500 revs) or when the revs drop did you get what sounds like a whirring noise which then dies down to the whirling noise you hear in that engine at idle?
that is probably just the turbocharger spinning
Great video BOSS, is it normal to hear the humming noise coming from the timing belt pulley after engine warms up? Because when engine cold it runs with NO humming till it start warming up!!!
Make a video and upload it to your UA-cam channel and then come back here and let me know and I'll watch it
Honestly the 1.5L Ecoboost my least favorite engine. I thought the gas mileage wasn’t that great and it barely moved. Very slow. Is they unjustified? I drove it in all of the vehicles you mentioned. The 2L Ecoboost in my wife’s Escape seems to be better to me as a non mechanic.
The 2.0 is better for sure but my favorite engine is the 2.5 naturally aspirated because it never has issues
Yeah the 1.5L is a little underpowered for the weight of some of the cars they put it in (like the fusion and escape). It gets the job done, but a 1.6 or 1.7 would have been ideal. A lot of cars went to 1.5 liters though to avoid a 'engine displacement tax' in the China market for their high volume selling cars. Chevy did the same with their 1.5L turbo.
@@tomd.2982 they have a 1.6L turbo and a 2.0 turbo and a 2.5na
What is the updated block part #? Thank you so much in advanced if you ever get to read this 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I got a question to you, ford boss me, please, don’t hesitate to take a look.
I got a ford focus ecoboost 2017, had the well known second and fourth cylinder pistons break down without cracking the block. I know where this is coming from, but anyways, had the engine rebuilt by a good master, the engine worked perfect after this, then at 8k miles later check engine went off, turned out the fourth cylinder piston cracked again. Had it replaced solely, and now while idling there’s a slight hammering sound coming from the inside of the engine which has never been around before. The car runs well, fuel and coolant levels are fine but I’m worried what this might be?
I’m not from the us, your advice would be much appreciated!
Ps. Subscribed.
Piston isn't the issue it's the updated short block, the blocks don't crack they already have machined slots in them and the new updated ones don't
You need a new short block
@@FordBossMeyeah I know what you are saying, during the first repair those machine made slices in between the cylinders were filled with aluminum and when the fourth piston cracked again those sliced lines were intact. I’m thinking about the cranks that may be causing this noise, is that a possibility?
New short block in Russia now costs around $2300 which is not an option for me at the moment…
P.S. I’m not Russian although live in this place
I have a 2016 Fusion with this engine. At 123,000 miles, the only problem I have had is the intake vvt solenoid got stopped up at the screen on the end with some kind of grit. That was last week. I cleaned it and deleted the code and everything seems to be fine. I just wonder what the screen was stopped up with. I don't know if it's pieces of the cam follower on the hp fuel pump, walnut shells from the recent induction service, or something else. I'm just wondering if I can have a look at that follower without having to disassemble the fuel line.
You have to remove the fuel line the high pressure line anyway the non flexible one
@@FordBossMe Okay. I was hoping I could just relieve the pressure somehow and take the two bolts out and lift it up. I haven't looked at it closely yet. Doesn't it take special tools to remove and reconnect the fuel line?
@@bradh6185 the high-pressure line is a 17 mm swivel nut on each end
@@FordBossMe Thanks.
How come some of the turbos have very long spark plug change intervals - almost as long as an NA engine - but some are very short. What is it on the 1.5? for example, my Hyundai 1.6 turbo calls for plugs at 45k miles. Maybe because its a higher compression design?
Could be im not sure honestly
I just know by 35k - 40k they look terrible
Anybody else hear this on the front passenger by the vents?? Just wanna really make sure I don’t have to worry hahaha thanks!!
Yes
Okay, well that makes me feel better. But is the block supposed to vibrate a little while running? It's not banging. It's not jumping. It's not lifting like a broken engine mount. But when I started it hood open (with beauty cover on) with my remote star, the engine shook a little and then vibrated while idling. But, it sounds exactly like this. No worse and no better.
They do vibrate a little bit or one of the motor mounts could be on its early stage of going out
Hi. I would like to ask you for an answer. I need to replace in my Escape 1.5 ecoboost AWD with automatic transmission the differential pinion seal (GB5Z-7H426-A) on the right CV axcel. Do I need to drain the oil from the automatic transmission? I would be very grateful for your help. Best regards from Poland
You are going to lose just a little bit of fluid so make sure you have your oil drop pan underneath it but there's no reason to drain the transmission it's not very much that you lose
Does the 1.5L Ecoboost 4 cylinder cone with a timing chain or belt? Ive heard both but im not sure?
It comes with a belt I mean if you look through my videos here you can see what it comes with you'll see all kinds of 1.5 L EcoBoost coolant intrusion videos
Hey boss I bought a 2014 Ford fusion 1.5 Ecoboost and it seems to slightly misfire when it's warming up (cold start) at about 700-900 rpm but once it warms up it's okay. I did a tune up and it's still doing it, changed spark plugs air filter and cleaned the throttle body, old spark plugs seemed to be burning fine. Any tips on what it could be, there's no check engine light on. The car has 87k
It could be a cylinder issue with where or it could be a valve issue until it warms up
@@FordBossMe thank you so much boss!! 💯
See my 2013 makes the same noises and I’m over here thinking something’s wrong with it.
Thanks for the video and track sound. I have a New Ford Kuga 1.5 Ecoboost 110 kw that sound loud ticking noise low speed.
I'm a little worried.
I mean you could send me a video about it and we can listen to it

@@FordBossMe I've driven a brand new Murano that was noisier than this, modern 4 bangers are too complex, bring back the SPI2000, it's a grossly underpowered non interference 4 banger that even after 220K miles runs like a sewing machine, only noise you hear is the subtle whine of the power steering pump which gets noisy after that many miles, only has 110hp and 120ft-lb but it can get a Tracer wagon up to speed fast enough for most and when power is run through a G5M stick you can get 40mpg at 55mph in the wagon, this wagon isn't geared very well for interstate speeds, but pairing the SPI2000 with the 6F would make a heavenly combo IMO, the utter lack of power means no matter how hard you push it you won't stress the transmission in the slightest
Well that's good to know cuz I thought there was something wrong with the motor in my 2019 Ford fusion
So is it normal to sound like it’s got a little knock to it? Can’t tell if that’s just comes with the engine or what
I mean I can't interpret everybody's version of a sound over a message you have to send me something in order for me to tell you if something's normal plus I have plenty of videos showing you the noises I don't know what else to tell you
@@FordBossMe thanks for the reply. is there somewhere I could send the video to?
My sisters 2016 ford fusion makes a similar sound however its more clicky and its more noticeable when the heater is running in the car while it idles...ill try to post a video if u would like to see.....i get the idea that my moms boyfriend watched yur video and suddenly he is a car mechanic and swears theres nothing wrong with it, however when my sister hot her car i remember it would idle almost soundless kind of like what any nee car sounds like when its idling
Sounds like a belt tensioner
I'd love a video
So I probably shouldn’t have purchased a 2014 Ford with the 1.5 ecoboost?
2014 wasn't so much an issue as later but they still are a pain sometimes
@@FordBossMe thanks for the reply. I just fixed the issue where I fill the car(fusion) up with gas and then it doesn’t fire right away. $133 purge valve cp909 Seems to fixed the problem
@@FordBossMe does the 2014 fusion have the intrusion problems? I have one with 95k miles and hope to keep it until about 130k Miles.
When I turn my 2.0 Ecoboost off I hear for about 1 second like a little ticking sound almost like a exhaust leak but I'm guessing it's something to do with the high pressure fuel system
Or ac
Hey Ford boss, i need some help. I have a 2014 ford fusion SE 1.5L that has an oil leak. My mechanic replaced the rocker cover gasket, the variable camshaft solenoid as well as the o rings on the injectors. Now, all those areas are sealed but there is oil coming from the oil cap. My mechanic states that it is the turbo that needs replacing because of back pressure. I bought this car last year and it has 40k miles. So the car was sitting for a while. do you have suggestions of what I can do to figure out the true cause? do you also think i need a new turbo?
Your mechanic would be wrong about needing a new Turbo, a turbo is not going to cause excessive pressure in the valve cover and oil to come out what ends up happening is you have blow by and and whenever you have excessive bypass of crankcase pressure it accumulates in the valve cover area and you can push out around oil cap
Check and make sure your rubber ring is still on the oil cap
If you want the most cost-effective way to order a new oil cap and put it on and see if it continues
Also make sure your PCV valve is good
Here is what the tube looks like that goes to the PCV Valve

Hey. I'm chasing a knocking noise on my 1.5. I'm thinking the flex plate may be the culprit. If I drop the oil pan will the bolts be visible?
Yes it will
Look very very closely
I have a video on an escape or fusion in my library if you look on this
@@FordBossMe thanks. I have a feeling that's easier than pulling the starter and I'll look for the video.
Ok I apologize. I scrolled down a couple videos and seen your external build video.
What is the part called at :48? The belt runs around it... on my 2.0 its very noisy. It sounds like a loud ticking.
Harmonic Balancer or Crankshaft Pulley
@@FordBossMe is it supposed to tick loud? Or should I get it checked out?
Hello. What's the bubbling sound on the left of the engine, where's the drive belt?
Did you watch the video? The drive belt is spinning right there right in front of your face in the beginning of the video
@@FordBossMe Okay, what's that bubbling sound from the right side of the engine?
Is it normal to sound loud if you take off the valve cover oil cap while it’s running? Just put in a 2019/06/05 engine smh
Yes when you pull the oil filter cap almost sounds like a damn air compressor it's so loud
In the United States, the Ford Focus never ever came with the 1.5 Ecoboost. The non ST and RS variants came with either a 2.0 or 1.0 Ecoboost. The 1.0 Ecoboost has a bad reputation in both the United States and Europe.
Are you educating me lol?
@@FordBossMe🤣
@@kirrus4781 lol
That's OK fan working when I start up fusion 2020?
Check ac pressures and sensors and computer readings
Thats the way my escape sounds. It has 22,000 miles on it
They are just noisy engines but they are fun so yeah
When i’m coasting and slowing down i can feel like my transmission downshift around 20-30mph , my rpms jump from 1100 to around 1400 and i feel a little jerk . is that normal ? I have a 2017
Probably have some kind of transmission problem
If you don't change the fluid on these every 30 to 40,000 miles they start having all kinds of problems
@@FordBossMe you think getting the fluid checked could fix ? my engine also shakes in idle on this thing i just got it like 2 weeks ago 2017 ford fusion
I'll keep my GM 2.2 VORTEC in my S10 Anyday..
Any chance you could PM me? Would like to discuss similar situatuon regarding engine replacement on my 2019 Escape 1.5L

where is the fuel filter located?
In the tank on the fuel pump you're not going to find any of these new vehicles with a serviceable fuel filter so that's common knowledge now though
Does yours tick when you let off the throttle ?
I don't own one
But
The tick all the time
Ours has just started it yesterday I’m gonna change the oil and hope for the best it’s already had 2 turbo gaskets and a water pump done within 2 years
Kinda reminds me of a small Perkins diesel..
Is that motor a turbo?
Of course
hey where do I find the updated block ???
6009 is the base number hit me up Monday I have a print out and I'll give you exact numbers
I have the papers on my toolbox at Ford
@@FordBossMe thanks bro much appreciated
Hello how are you
Hi Po sir me know where is the engine number located?
The liter size or the number of the engine model
Liter size is on the white sticker on the hood
1.5 or 1.6 or 2.0
The serial number or model number is on the side of the passenger side valve cover
1:53-2:00 whats that noise ?
High Pressure Fuel Pump And Valve Noise
Ford shouldn't have ever brought out the 1.5/1.6/2.0. Should have recalled all of them. Turds.
My escape makes a ticking sound
Hi
Mine sounds like that
I hate the noises my ficus makes!
Biggest piece of crap I've ever had the misfortune of rebuilding.
What do you expect? It ain't no rolls royce
That's not normal.
If I say it's normal you better bet its normal
It IS normal. My mechanic with 40 yrs experience also said the Escapes, Edges and Focuses are NOISY. My car sounds exactly like this and he said it's normal. I trust that man with my life. If MY mechanic says it's normal, it's NORMAL
Ok so in your opinion. Just how shitty are these engines?

I see, what’s your opinion on the 2.3l ecoboost they have in the rangers, explorers, Mustangs, and now the Broncos?
A just got one these and think hpfp is gone
The purge valve canister normally makes that ticking noise?
The purge valve canister makes a little bit of the ticking noise but no normally that's from the high pressure fuel pump that's why it has a foam cover over the top of it and the lifters are kind of clattery as well so you have three different things making noise
