Side-by-side reliability comparison
Specifications
Character
1.8 TDDi / DI (Endura-DI)
"Pre-common-rail Ford 1.8 diesel (Focus Mk1 TDDi 75/90 hp, Fiesta Mk4 1.8 DI). Direct injection with an electronically controlled rotary pump. Owners rate it far better than the later 1.8 TDCi; the injection pump and its control unit are the one known weak point, typically after 120,000 km."
Coyote 5.0 V8
"Ford's naturally aspirated 32-valve DOHC 5.0 V8 (Mustang GT, F-150), sold officially in Europe in the Mustang from 2015. Broadly regarded as one of the most durable modern performance V8s, with no engine safety recall. The 2018+ third generation (direct plus port injection, plasma-coated bores) is the one to check: Ford issued an oil-consumption bulletin for the F-150 and a class action over oil use is pending, and some cars develop a cold-start piston tick. Earlier engines can seep oil at the rear of the heads. Use quality oil and do not stretch oil-change intervals - the timing chains depend on it."
