Block cracks on the 1.5 and 2.0 EcoBoost with coolant lossCooling

Engine / equipment: Four-cylinder 1.5 EcoBoost and 2.0 EcoBoost: Kuga, Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy, Focus and C-Max
Period mentioned: Approx. 2014–2019
Symptoms: Coolant loss with no visible leak, rough running on cold start, white smoke and, in serious cases, engine failure.
Possible cause described: Hairline cracks in the block let coolant into the cylinders; it mainly affects older 1.5 units and, less often, the 2.0. Ford revised the block in mid-2019.
Check for the garage: Watch the coolant level; if it drops with no external leak, run a pressure and combustion-gas test and check the spark plugs. Ask Ford by VIN about warranty actions.
Cost cited in the source: No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
