I was going to look at one last weekend,..2021, 13,000 miles and was almost ready to go until I researched the problems with that engine..a pity because I really liked it
I had a 1L ST Line X for 4 years and I never had a single problem with it.. So I've just bought another one but with the panoramic roof and B&O sound system upgrade this time. Brilliant car. It's people not getting their cars serviced regularly, that's the problem! 🤷
@@DaveMac0401 I was told the "wet belt" in the ecoboost caused a lot of problems and cost a lot to repair. Anyway the car has been sold..I'll just save up for another car. Thanks for your reply
@@theart8039 if you're buying from a dealership, they should be getting a new belt installed before sale anyway, plus getting a fresh MOT and service done for you. If not, I'd steer clear of that place. (no pun intended). Good luck on your car hunt anyway. 👍
Hi Dave, the ecoboost is like any other engine, in that it needs regular servicing done to the manufacturers recommendations. As long as you do that, you don't tend to get any issues. It won the engine of the year in its category for a reason. Just make sure the one you're buying has been well maintained, using the correct spec oil. Keep me posted on your purchase 😎
Hi, unfortunately, due to the latest emissions. They've done away with the 2.0 diesel, so you will have to get the 1.5 Ecoblue Diesel. Bloody good engine, though.
Very nice Mark. Looks like it’s comfy for longer drives too.

Is it possible to get the 2.0 tdci?
