Common Issues With ECO BOOST

Wetbelt (Timing Belt) Deterioration

Problem: The wetbelt, which functions as a timing belt, can deteriorate over time. This deterioration is crucial as it can lead to severe engine damage.

Consequences: If the wetbelt fails, it can block the oil strainer, resulting in oil starvation. This restricts the engine from getting the necessary lubrication, increasing the risk of engine failure.

Telltale Sign: A flashing oil light on your dashboard is a critical indicator that the wetbelt might be deteriorating and beginning to block the oil strainer.

Cooling Assembly Leaks

Problem: The cooling assembly, particularly around the right side of the engine when facing it, is prone to leaks. Due to its location, these leaks can sometimes go unnoticed during regular inspections.

Consequences: Unaddressed leaks can lead to overheating, which may cause extensive engine damage if not detected and fixed promptly.

Telltale Sign: A rapid drop in coolant levels could indicate a leak in the cooling assembly. Watch for decreasing coolant levels more quickly than usual.

Wet-Belt Snaps and Piston Damage

Problem: A snapping wet-belt is another severe issue. When the wet-belt snaps due to wear or a defect, it can lead to immediate engine stoppage.

Consequences: The snapping of the wet-belt can cause the pistons to break the valves, resulting in catastrophic engine failure that usually requires significant repairs or a complete engine replacement.

Telltale Sign: The car failing to start or sudden engine shutdown could be a sign of a snapped wet-belt.

Water Pipe Leaks Affecting the Turbo

Issue: The water pipe that runs from the expansion tank to the turbo is crucial for cooling the turbocharger. In some instances, this pipe, originally made from less durable materials, has been known to fail.

Telltale Sign: The most direct sign of a problem would be a snapped pipe, leading to a noticeable leak or a drop in water pressure in the cooling system, which could be visually confirmed.

Consequence: A failure in this pipe can lead to inadequate cooling of the turbo, potentially causing turbocharger overheating and damage.

After agreeing the price, the money was transferred to bank account within minutes. They handled all the formal documentation, making the process so easy. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
