Getting the engine replaced on my 2018 ST Line
Hi everyone. Just wanted to chime in with some pictures of my beautiful ST Line that will probably be getting a new engine soon.
The turbo's rattling, scratch marks in the cylinders, oil pump belt needs replacing soon and now cylinder 1 stopped igniting alltogether. Apparently it was "constantly low on oil" according to my mechanic. Had it since 2022 and it already had the transmission and the upper half of the engine block replaced before I bought it. Since then I had a full oil change every 20k km at a certified Ford workshop and topped it off myself every now and then. Now I have no idea what's causing all these issues and my local mechanic said the engine is dead or dying because the cylinder walls are all scratched up. So since it's cheaper to get the engine replaced than to buy a new car that I would be close to as happy with as this one, a new engine it is.
Just felt like sharing and would love to get some insight from you guys (and gals) or maybe just some kind words.
(Edit: Engine is the 1.0 EcoBoost, 125HP)
