- Possible cause described
- Ford bulletin 15-0162 (October 2015) for the 1.6 EcoBoost of the Escape, Fiesta ST and Fusion says to check the charge-air-cooler pipes and vacuum lines first; if they are fine, the cause is the solenoid valve that regulates the turbo wastegate, and it is replaced.
- Check for the garage
- Read the codes. Check that the charge-air-cooler pipes and vacuum lines are not split or loose; if they are fine, test the wastegate solenoid (under the engine) and make sure its hoses are fully fitted before replacing the turbo.
