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."
EcoBoost 2.0
"Ford's 2.0 turbo four in the Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy, Kuga and Focus ST. Strong and tunable, but cars built before the mid-2019 block revision can crack the block and let coolant into a cylinder - white smoke, misfire, coolant loss and an engine swap. Check the expansion tank and a cold start before buying."
