The Ford EDDF is a 1,998 cc, inline-four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2019 and 2023. It forms part of Ford's EcoBoost engine family, designed for mainstream performance and efficiency in compact and mid-size applications. Featuring direct fuel injection, a single-scroll turbocharger, and twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT), it delivers responsive power delivery with reduced emissions and improved fuel economy.
Fitted to models such as the C519 Focus ST, C346 Puma ST, and CX481 Escape, the EDDF was engineered for drivers seeking a balance of sporty performance and everyday usability. Emissions compliance is achieved through a close-coupled three-way catalyst and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), enabling Euro 6d-TEMP compliance across all production years. Its design prioritises thermal efficiency and throttle response with advanced engine management calibration.
One documented update is the revised piston cooling jet system introduced in Q2 2021 to reduce bore scuffing, highlighted in Ford Service Action 21M02. Early-build engines exhibited bore scoring under sustained high-load operation, particularly in hot climates or with extended oil change intervals. The update includes higher-flow cooling jets and revised oil pump calibration to improve piston crown cooling and longevity.

Production years 2019–2023 meet Euro 6d-TEMP standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9012).
The Ford EDDF is a 1,998 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine engineered for performance applications (2019–2023). It combines direct fuel injection with a single-scroll turbocharger to deliver strong mid-range torque and linear power delivery. Designed to meet Euro 6d-TEMP standards, it balances performance with emissions compliance and real-world drivability.

The single-scroll turbo provides strong mid-range torque ideal for spirited driving but requires adherence to 15,000 km oil change intervals to maintain turbo bearing and timing chain longevity. Ford WSS-M2C949-A (5W-30) oil is critical due to its thermal stability and protection under high cylinder pressures. Extended idling after high-load operation should be avoided to prevent coking in the turbocharger and intercooler. The Bosch HDEV5 fuel system demands premium unleaded (RON 95 minimum) to prevent pre-ignition and injector deposits. Post-2021 models feature improved piston cooling; pre-2021 units should be monitored for bore scuffing per Ford SIB 21M02. The three-way catalyst requires full operating temperature for optimal efficiency, so frequent short trips may accelerate catalyst aging.
Oil Specs: Requires Ford WSS-M2C949-A (5W-30) specification (Ford SIB 21M02). Supersedes ACEA A1/B1 and API SN+.
Emissions: Euro 6d-TEMP certification applies to all 2019–2023 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9012).
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. 184 kW output requires premium fuel (RON 98) and calibration update (Ford TIS Doc. E00600).

The Ford EDDF was used across Ford's C519, C346, and CX481 platforms with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific tuning—higher boost in the Focus ST and revised torque curve in the Puma ST—and from 2021, the facelifted Escape adopted a revised cooling jet system, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped vertically on the left-side engine block near the exhaust manifold (Ford TIS E00110). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('D' for EDDF series). Pre-2021 models have silver valve covers with black plastic timing covers; post-2021 units use gloss black valve covers. Critical differentiation from EDDG: Original EDDF uses Bosch HDEV5 injectors with black top connectors, while EDDG uses HDEV6 with green connectors. Service parts require production date verification—piston cooling jets for engines before 05/2021 are incompatible with later units due to flow rate changes (Ford SIB 21M02).
The EDDF's primary reliability risk is bore scuffing in early builds, with increased incidence in high-performance or towing applications. Internal Ford quality reports from 2022 indicated a notable share of pre-2021 engines requiring cylinder bore inspection before 80,000 km, while UK DVSA records show a moderate increase in emissions-related faults linked to catalyst efficiency in urban-driven vehicles. Frequent high-RPM operation and use of non-premium fuel increase ring and injector stress, making fuel quality and maintenance adherence critical.
