Broken piston 1.5L ecoboost

[chronicle]

Usually its the big ecoboost 3.5L engines. Did my research before buying the 1.5L ecoboost. The results were that there does not seem to be any problems with the 1.5L...

Surprised this happened. At least documented na ngayon.

Sucks to be the guinea pig. Or at least, the first one to report it to casa. Hopefully it is just a batch manufacturing defect for a certain part.

how old was the oil?

how old was the oil?

It was changed around mid December last year. They used Shell Helix Ultra AF 5w30.

It was during highway driving, the check engine light suddenly turned on. Power was down.

Brought it to the casa, they found that cylinder 2 was misfiring. It turned out part of the piston was broken off. Sh***y luck.

Car is still under warranty. Its only 1 year and 8 months old. The engine will be sent back to the factory to be studied according to the casa. They might even issue a recall.

My friend’s Explorer suffered a seized engine right after his 1k km PMS. Not sure about the details but Ford only offered to overhaul the engine. My friend asked for a replacement unit. After some negotiation w lawyers involved, Ford finally agreed to replace the engine. They didn’t do a good job though as the Explorer was in and out of the dealership until my friend decided to dispose it last year.

Damn that is scary. Ganun din sabi sa amin ng ford. They will replace 90% of the engine daw. If that is the case, we might try convincing Ford to just replace the whole unit. Pero mukhang malabo.

Just make sure they replace the short and long block. 90% means that.

Noted... Hopefully once they replace it, there will be no more issues. Ilang months pa to.

But if there are issues after, baka pa replace ng lang ng buong sasakyan. Bigyan na lang kami sana ng Mustang as compensation. 😂

This will not happen on an AT since it will automatically down shift if you press hard

It can happen especially if its in drive mode. Di siya mag downshift agad.
On sport mode however, mas responsive and it tends to keep the RPM high.

if youre using ford's required oils(Casa Shell Helix Ultra AF) or ACEA a5b5s, LSPI shouldnt be a problem.

Is Shell Helix really enough? Then again, API SN plus was only created in 2018, can’t blame the casa.

[StockEngine]

yes both Helix Ultra AF and ACEA A5B5 have the additives for LSPI. there are discussions in Bitog regarding LSPI since last year pa.

API SN Plus is aligned with API SN Resource Conserving and ILSAC GF5. When I got my Fiesta Ecoboost, it was hard looking for the suggested 5w20 ACEA A5/B5 oil so I used the alternative 5w30 API Resource Conserving. Later when I got my FXT, the same oil was required so I used the same oil for both.

Ask ko lang Sir kun meron nang definite cause daw nun nasira yun piston? Also lugging the engine puts some of the worst strain on your engine pero how would that be possible in a AT? Thanks

Ok. But in the future after warranty I may use oils with API SN Plus just to be safe...

Not yet. The casa is still making a report. The engine will be transported to the plant so that the engineers can study what caused the problem according to casa.

Not sure if I am lugging the engine or I am off the boost. Minsan sluggish pag bigla mong apak sa high gear. But after I get the car I’ll just do my best not to drive like a maniac just to be sure.

What you are experiencing is turbo lag. Not lugging.
Impossible to lug an AT engine.

Ur driving is fine. Its the engine that's lemonade.

Kung pwede nga replace headliner. 😂

I haven’t told them about their mechanics putting their dirty hands on the headliner yet since I just noticed it this day. Will call the service manager tomorrow, tanong ko bakit marumi magtrabaho mekaniko nila. 😂

Ang problem nyan, nilabas na sa casa. They can always deny

You sir are totally right. Just called them, they denied it... they said they cleaned the interior before returning the unit. I will talk to them in person and show the mess they made.
