Hello! I need help and explanation. Please tell me, I need help about the engine and about Ecoboost in general. My be you can advise me something based on experience or true. The thing is: I hit kicked down on my 1.5T Ford Fusion USA. I don't drive like that at all, but the situation required it. I drove to the point, I look in the mirror behind and saw a cloud of blue smoke and it stank of smoke for 3 min inside too. Auto after that approx. I SCREWED off and looked at the spark plugs, they had traveled 44,000 km. Rubbish... I have a video of the cylinders. Then I climbed into the cylinders with the camera and saw something that I did not understand. Apparently there is soot, an oil film. Could YOU please advise what is it? Why? How? Reasons? I have video inside cylinders, but cant download. Now i have: - Mileage: 50 000 miles (86,000 km) - fuel consumption is excellent, highway, from 6 l/100km. -- Oil consumption: 200 grams per 10,000 km. *Use Kendall 5W-20. -Service (changing oil) every 8,000 km. -Petrol: Tesco ""99 Moment"". (EU) 1. I need explanation, why it's had happened? 2. What to do? 3. Do I need clean cylinders? 4. Could it be a cylinder head gasket 5.! What engine diagnostics do I need and what should it include? -× I want to help this problem, it is possible to react earlier ×- BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR ECOBOOST! ANDREW

Hello, I have a 2015 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L EcoBoost FWD. I was wondering if anyone could give me an explanation of what I'm looking at here and any suggestions where oil might be leaking from. I haven't worked on cars newer than 1999 before and I have never worked on a FWD four cylinder so I have no idea what I'm looking at half the time. I circled a part in green, not sure what it is but I'm guessing it's some kind of vacuum solenoid? I also circled a hose in blue, I believe it is an oil hose and I thought the leak was coming from there but I tightened it and still have a leak. It looks like oil is dripping from the area circled in red, but again I have no clue what I'm looking at. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Welp.. hello everyone in the land of ford lovers! I am here for a bit of insight. If you can’t tell by subject this is about my 2010 Ford Fusion SE 2.5 Manual 6spd EPS malfunctioning. I was driving the other day on the highway with my daughter and out of nowhere bam!!! The steering wheel was tighter then.. well let’s just say very very tight, had a drip of play but was from lose to tight in the blink of n eye! I could barely turn the steering wheel while doing 75mph down the highway! Luckily I’ve been in some sticky situations before and was able to take some control and pull over to the shoulder.. “thank god I was driving in a straight line” or else it coulda been a lot worse. flashing on my Cluster and making weird chimes was a alert or notice saying *Power Steering Assist Falt* also said Traction Control something something.. will have to go back and look again to be 100% specific, anyway I muscled the car home literally and started searching on google typing in what it said on the cluster and I see that this has been happening in ALOT to a lot of people the past couple years now. “Wish I woulda known before I got the car” tbh.. i did read about recalls but apprently my car has missed the deadline being it’s a 2010 model and not a 2011. I Called my local ford dealership and after n hour of back n forth we got to the real question! Hs said by how I explained it and what it said on the cluster when it happened and describing what happened, his answer was hmm... it’s going to cost you sir $100 bucks for us to tell you that it’s most likely gonna cost almost $2,000 to fix the car and we Give a lifetime warranty on this part/fix.. < lamen’s term I dont make nearly enough to afford that ^ plus this has been happening to a lot of people in the same year and model car as my own for a while now according to many other threads I’ve read. why is my car not included in this recall? It’s not even 10yrs old, this is a very dangerous faulty part malfunction while the car was in full operation. forget the cost! what about my family and my safety, if I did pay for a new Steering Rack and it happened again, I might not be as lucky to collect on that life time warranty part/fix they offer. I mean, wth! It was scary... i guess my main questions is am I junking the car and not looking back? I love the car, I want to keep it but can’t afford to fix that, not now at least and probably not for a while,. Is their any update as to recall’s on The 2010 models and this steering rack malfunction ? I also was told I have to bring the car in cause their is a recall with the passenger air bag, the air bag light has been on for a month, not sure if that is why but just saying aloud suppose. love Ford’s I’ve owned several mustangs in the past but now I’m a family guy and switched to a family car and I chose ford when I did so, and now I think without any assistance from Ford I’m gonna lose out on the last Ford I own. feel free to chime in and share, maybe their is something I can fix my self ? Without having to spend almost $2,000. Or maybe more in depth information about why my car did what it did ? Is their a cheaper saloution if any other solution exists
