2013 Mk7. 5 Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost engine problems

Hi, I've got a 2013 fiesta with the 1.0 ecoboost 125bhp engine. Up until last week I've had almost 2 years of trouble free motoring with only just over 19000 miles on the clock. On the way home from work I had a sudden loss of power and felt almost sluggish. Not quite limp home mode but just didn't have anything there…

Have a good read of the Facebook group FordEcoboostNightmare you will read tons of accounts of similar issues and how it was all resolved.

Also see #ecoboom for the group legal action to recover losses for Fords design errors.

I am a part of the group.
