Ford mechanic

Hi Luigi, I'm thinking of getting a Ford Explorer 2.0 Ecoboost model. However I have heard of some cases of Ecoboost engines springing oil leaks and needing complete engine replacement at < 20k on the odo. Is the Explorer (esp the 2.0 Ecoboost variant) reliable?

I do hope such cases are not rampant. There are a number of Fiesta Ecoboost and Explorer Ecoboost already on the streets.

Looking for a Ford (Doesn't have to be) mechanic to accompany me to checkup on some SUVs - Explorer, Everest. Is there a way to check if mileage is legit?

Please PM me, thanks

Is anyone also having a start up problem on their Ford Fiesta? Battery is ok, leds light up, radio is fine, the keys can turn but the car won't start... any fix? thanks in advance...

[StockEngine]

When was the last battery change? Oil change? Last maintenance done?

[Allain Recorba]

Feel free to ask any concerns about your ford cars. I'll help you. Or better yet, i can fix it for you.

Good morning, sir.

My 2005 1.8 Ghia Ford Focus AT Duratech(gasoline) is experiencing hiccups. Yung parang kumakadyot while stepping on the breaks to control to speed on a slow moving traffic. But once mabilis na ang takbo, wala naman pong problems. I get to experience the 'kadyot' specially doing reverse and in parking situations.

Last week, this is what I experienced on my way home. On a slow moving traffic, engaged to D. Stepping on the breaks to control the speed, then the engine experiences roughness then the LCD on the dashboard flashes 'Engine Systems Fault.' So I turned-off the engine. When I started it, ok na po ulit. It's been a week na po since that incident. Hindi pa po na-uulit.

I was also informed by the people at Ford BGC that wala raw fuel filter ang sasakyan ko. But they said, there's a fuel filter for the diesel engine ones. I was thinking baka kasi yun po ang problem.

Car history:
Bought it 2nd Hand.
Never experienced car tuning services since purchase.

What are your thoughts, sir?

Basic muna. Palit sparkplug, airfilter, fuelfilter, oil filter same time with change oil and clean map sensor then observe.

Thank you, sir.

So it does really need a tune up. Sabi sa casa wala daw siyang fuel filter. So normally how long should a tune up take? Can you refer me to a shop that has a good reputation to do car tune-ups? I just had a engine oil change last month. ATF replaced just last year. Mga magkano po kaya ang aabutin dun sa basic tune-up?

duratec engine walang fuel filter? totoo ba?

Up for this question. Totoo nga po ba? Eto din po kasi ang sabi sakin sa casa eh. Mine is 1.8 Duratec.

[Allain Recorba]

Sorry, double post po.

[sirkosero]

also replaced one of the coils. may leaknna kuryente eh

Fuel filter doubles as fuel pump is located inside the gas tank kung hindi ako nagkakamali..
