Lincoln81 Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Just picked up a 15 2.0 with 57k km on it. Works nice. Decent pick up. Comfy. I do however find the tranny shift a little hard sometimes. Besides that it's good. Mind you 3rd day I've owned it. 500km put on so far. How long have your turbos lasted ? Any issues ? Any other maintenace things I should know about ? Dealer put seafoam in when I picked it up to clean carbon. Check engine light is on. Said to wait a few days for it to clear... seeing on forums that seafoam or other products are bad for EcoBoost engines? All help is appreciated Edited May 12, 2019 by Lincoln81 Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Welcome and congrats! Pics? Cannot say enough about replacing fluids regularly with the 2.0. It really really loves fresh engine oil and transmission fluid. Seafoam is fine as long as the user has experience with it. But you will need to change the engine oil soon after, do not leave the dirty oil in there. If there is a lot of carbon buildup on the intake valves, it can be a problem as that carbon can chunk off and destroy the turbo. With less than 40K miles on it, you are likely ok.

Lincoln81 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 I'll get pics when I get it all cleaned up. Been raining here all day. It's got a few small scratches I hope to buff out as well. Check engine light is off. It's got great power. I changed the engine air filter today. Old one was pretty plugged. Seems to be running better. I'll call dealer tomorrow to schedule trans fluid replacement and oil change. I also would like to change 4 inch screen to something better but these have limited options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1073 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Check plugs and regap or change if needed. I know the Focus ST 2.0 would eat plugs for breakfast. Well at least the Gap would open up on them regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln81 Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Sounds good. I'll order new plugs and gap them and change them. Seems to be a fairly easy job. Anybody find a good deal on cabin air filter on Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
