Good reference to FordTech channel. You answered my question on the carbon buildup. That tells me what I need to know. I am considering the Maverick and was trying to decide between the ecoboost or the 2.5L hybrid engine. Sounds like I should just avoid the ecoboost. Thanks for the info. I think I will wait for the hybrid then. Your input is priceless on this.
Retired 50 year mechanic. I don’t care what they tell you, start stop puts more wear on your starter, oil pressure is zero when not running so it has to come up to pressure when starting up again. Creating more bearing wear. I won’t own a car with it unless I can turn it off!
As long as the starter lasts it’s fine, which it should be designed for that many cycles. Arguing that you’re a 50 year mechanic just tells me that you’re probably stuck in your ways, it’s not a flex.
I have a 2020 Lincoln Corsair with the 2.0L purchase new, 39km on it now. So far very satisfied with this engine, very quiet runs great, hate the start/stop an I usually shut it off after I first start the vehicle. Only problem was the all wheel drive module was replaced under warranty. The rear brakes & rotors went after only 20kms & weren’t covered by the warranty. My previous vehicle was 2013 Ford Escape 1.6L which was noisy & not enough HP.
I had a 2.0L in my old 2013 ford escape SEL. Engine went on it while I was driving it, a rod went tho the block. Only had 194,000kms on it. That too me wasn’t high mileage.
I can say, I’m waiting on my maverick XL hybrid 2023 but I currently drive a 2016 Malibu 1.5 turbo and it’s butter smooth and quiet. Not noisy at all. Some direct injection noise when you open the hood but man the 2.0 maverick XLT I test drove at my local dealership was obnoxiously noisy. Then I did a hybrid escape and made my decision after it was butter smooth.
I love the 2.0 in my 2018 focus ST. I do clean the intake valves once a year myself. I found a really easy way to do it and it takes me about two hours. Thanks for the review.
@mikeshafer2474, would like to know more details of how you did your 2 hour decarbonization on your 2.0L Ecoboost. Is there a link or description available somewhere?
I have a question about the Maverick hybrid. When you start out on a cold morning only the electric motor is working at slow speed. Then when you need power the gasoline engine kicks on with no time to warm up. Does that damage the 2.5 liter gasoline engine?
No cause the Hybrid engines only runs long enough to provide cabin heat. Infact many times the 2.5 never gets to full temperature with only city driving
Jan, I have had my maverick hybrid for 4 weeks. I had the same concerns as I live in the country and when I pull out its hi way speeds. Just let it sit for a bit or push the gas pedal own to overide the battery an the engine will kick on. maybe not or long but at least you get some heat built in the engine
I’ve have a 2.0 eco boost in a 2013 Ford Explore Limited, It has 240,000 miles been absolutely dependable! The turbo was replaced at 200,000 miles, Never cleaned intake valves. Just took a 5000 mile trip to Idaho, Moab Utah and up to Canada it averaged 23.5 mpg for the whole trip! Did a fantastic job in the mountains…. Yes they are great engines and much better and stronger than the weak 2.5!
I think the 2013-2014 didn't have the problem with the coolant passing over to the pistons until 2015+ so maybe its the newer engines that had the majority of problems 🤷
2017 Ford Edge 2.0 ECOBOOST I have with 75k miles in Ruby Red. This is one of my favorite cars I have ever had. Found out yesterday I have coolant intrusion in cylinder 1. Engine replacement required. A Ford claim has been submitted and waiting what if/anything they will do. My mom was the Ford plant manager’s admin until she retired. This is devastating, total loss I am worried. If you have a 2.0 engine in the years 2016-2020, you are at risk. Ford corrected the defect by 2020-2021 from what I have been advised.
Hello, I have fusion 2.0 ecoboost and I have had a problem for some time. I'm getting fuel into the oil and the oil level is rising. I have already replaced the injectors but the problem has not gone away. Maybe someone had? Please help
Have one in my new to me 18’ MkZ with 29k miles. Not as smooth as the venerable 4.6 2v v8 that’s in my Town Car and less off the line torque but overall I like it. You’re right it’s not a particularly good sounding engine and if engine sound is important to someone they should go with the v6.
They say starting and stopping the engine is what adds the highest amount of wear to an engine. Is that still a thing with hybrids like the 2.5 litre maverick
@@jmc6000 so what about for non hybrid engines like the 2.0 ecoboost. Will that cause excessive wear since the engine wasn’t made to be constantly starting and stopping?
I have the 2.0 ecoboost in my mkz Lincoln and love it. I had the same concern on the shifting until reset the adaptive learning control in the TCM which is easy to do, now it shifts like a dream, and running Chevron Tecron in a tank of gas occasionally eliminates the carbon problem.
"running Chevron Tecron in a tank of gas occasionally eliminates the carbon problem." I find that running Drano down my garbage disposal once a week works equally well to eliminate the carbon problem of the Ford 2.0 Ecoboost direct injection engines plus it keeps the drain clear of clogs.
I have the 2.0 Ford edge eco booster diesel , and it’s great, but service intervals are a must with this engine, don’t listen to Ford service bulletin, every 5 k service , 🇬🇧
I've got a 2015 Ford Edge with a 2 l and a 6 speed transmission . Runs really smooth and with 78,000 miles on it the only maintenance I have ever done is change the oil every 6000 miles
Bro I should be doing an oil change every 4000 miles lol, those turbos need a lot of care. Unless your using some super top of the line full synthetic oil, do it every 4k
Technically it should be every 3k miles. I used to do 5k but went to 4k. At 2k the oil gets dark and I don't like that. Have 155k miles on my 2.0 and original turbos, runs strong. I also use a qt of lucas
2016 Escape 1.6L echo blew up at 106k. Dealer told me 1 1/2 year ago they did not know what the problem was. Told me to bring it back when it breaks down. Complete waste.
Absolutely correct but you can help matters with carbon buildup by using premium gasoline since this is a high compression engine and CHANGING the oil frequently every 3K to 5K miles depending on how it is driven and use only quality GF6 specs. Carbon buildup is across all makes/models on all GDI engines without port injection - welcome to 2022. 2.0 is a damn good engine (despite noise) so just plan on walnut blasting with Ford Tech M. when you reach 40 or 50K miles. Now when the Maverick goes AWD Hybrid ... it will be sold out in 1 day instead of 1 week.
My Bronco Sport Badlands has none of the jerky shifting you speak of. In fact, I find it quite smooth shifting and the engine to be quite smooth as well. Yeah, the engine sounds like a sewing machine at idle, but I ride a Harley Davidson and I'm used to that noise so it's not an issue with me. As long as it runs solid and gets me where I am going, I am happy. Like anything else proper and timely maintenance goes a long way. The 2.0 is a great engine but I am considering installing a catch can oil/vapor separator to help with the carbon issues. I have one on my Harley Davidson and they work really well at helping to avoid excessive carbon buildup on the valves and pistons.
@@loyal4theway159 DON’T forget about the timing chain. Engine mounts around the same time if you can get away with it, and a little praying past 150k for the transmission will get you there.

PTU fluid every 30k as well if you have the AWD version.
The carbon buildup issue was fixed in 2020 when they added port injection to the 2 l EcoBoost.

My last Ford was a 2015 Fusion SE for the wife. Last Ford I will ever own! Switched to Toyota and have not looked back. Yes I will be buying a new Tundra soon and have ZERO worries about the Waste Gate issue. Why Toyota? Not because they are perfect, but because they stand behind their products unlike Ford. When Toyota had the Camry Oil consumption issues back in early 2000's due to trying an eco-friendly ring design they extended warranties and fixed them at no charge to customer. Same with the Tacoma trucks that had the rust issues they extended the warranties and took care of the owners. Ford on the other hand Does not stand behind what they build they knew for a LONG time about the Coolant Intrusion and it being a Block design flaw, they knew before they released the Power shift transmissions that they were problematic because the engineers told them do not release them yet, but did. That is the true Ford Motor Company most of you support. Junk company that needs to go out of business.
Toyota natural aspirated V6 or nothing. Yes it loves gasoline, but it saves you money and the environment in the long run by having to buy less replacement parts, less maintenance, less engines and labor costs, IF you can't fix it yourself.
