4 known faults

1.0 EcoBoost 100

  1. Panoramic roof that can come loose (2013-2014 recall)

    Manufacturer recall

    Ford recalled Tourneo Connect and Transit Connect vehicles built between 4 October 2013 and 14 July 2014: contamination during the preparation for bonding could weaken the fixing of the glass panoramic roof, causing wind noise, water leaks and, in the worst case, the roof coming loose (AutoInsider, UK recall R/2016/244). Check using the serial number that the recall has been carried out.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

    Versions
    1.0 EcoBoost 100, 1.6 TDCi 95, 1.6 TDCi 115

  2. Wet timing belt on the 1.0 EcoBoost

    Severity 3/3 · Serious

    On the 1.0 EcoBoost, the belt runs in oil and can degrade, releasing debris that may block the oil strainer and damage the engine (Parkers). Apexx Engines describes the same fault on the Transit Connect, which shares the platform. Insist on proof of replacement.
