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

My dads 08 Fusion started having problems all of a sudden where the car was idling hard, had VERY low power (Especially when going up hills). We took it to our local Ford Dealership, and the next day they called and said that they where going to have to replace the PCM (Powertrain Control Module), the Coils (which had melted down) and the plugs! I have noticed that people on here have had the same problems, at about the same mileage! I have also noticed that NO ONE has had to pay ANYWHERE near what the dealership is saying it is going to cost us to get it fixed! Their ruff estimate is $3,000 to replace everything. So, is that a usual price? We were not given the option to get a refurbished PCM or anything! I have searched online and can get a BRAND NEW PCM for just at $300! Do you think that the dealership could be price gouging? Any info and suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks
