- 1.0 EcoBoost Wet Belt DegradationSerious
Early Mk8 1.0 EcoBoost engines still use the oil-bath timing-belt setup that sheds material if servicing or oil quality is wrong, eventually starving the engine of oil pressure.
- Coolant Bottle, Hose and Thermostat LeaksSerious
Expansion tanks, hoses and thermostat housings can leak coolant gradually, and ignored low-level warnings risk overheating and head-gasket or engine damage.
