July 15th, 2023 12:37 PM #3Is there credibility in that story? Seems like it's just satire...
... ‘The 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering.’ Years later, Ford was giving full refunds to thousands of customers affected by sudden failures of the EcoBoost engines. This followed a BBC investigation, which found that hundreds of engines had overheated.

July 15th, 2023 09:38 PM #5yeah it's belt-in-oil
bits of belt clog the oil pickup then you get low oil pressure, metal-on-metal contact
the 1.5L "dragon" engine on the ecosport facelift is also belt-in-oil. so is the new ranger
generally speaking awards are mostly BS and not just automotive "awards"

July 16th, 2023 11:24 PM #8Ah well Engine of the Year is usually awarded early on in the life cycle of an engine when there's close to zero data on reliability. Originally Posted by oj88

The award probably only focuses on technical wins like achieving certain breakthroughs in power to weight or packaging, and looking at the awardees in hindsight (as the article did) you can see many of the winning engines proved to be quite flawed in the long run.
