The Ford EYDD is a 1,999 cc, inline-four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2018 and 2023. It forms part of Ford's EcoBoost engine family, featuring direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbocharging, and variable cam timing. Designed for responsive performance and improved efficiency, it delivers 147 kW (200 PS) and 320 Nm of torque, enabling strong mid-range acceleration for everyday driving.
Fitted to models such as the Focus ST, Kuga ST-Line, and Edge, the EYDD was engineered for drivers seeking a balance of sporty responsiveness and daily usability. Emissions compliance was achieved through a three-way catalytic converter and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), allowing Euro 6.2 compliance across all production years, meeting stringent EU6d emission standards.
One documented concern is intake manifold carbon buildup, highlighted in Ford Service Action 19S06. This issue arises due to oil vapour carry-over from the crankcase ventilation system under high-load conditions. From 2021, Ford introduced revised PCV valve calibration and updated intake port designs to mitigate deposit accumulation.
Production years 2018–2020 meet Euro 6.2 standards; 2021–2023 models comply with Euro 6d (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5678).
The Ford EYDD is a 1,999 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine engineered for performance-oriented compact and mid-size SUVs (2018–2023). It combines direct fuel injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver strong mid-range torque and responsive throttle characteristics. Designed to meet Euro 6.2 (later Euro 6d) standards, it balances sporty performance with modern emissions compliance.

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong mid-range torque ideal for spirited driving but requires adherence to 15,000 km oil change intervals to maintain PCV and turbocharger health. Ford WSS-M2C949-A (5W-30) oil is critical due to its shear stability and detergency protecting the direct injection system. Extended short-trip driving increases carbon buildup on intake valves. The Bosch HDEV5 fuel pump demands minimum 95 RON fuel to prevent pre-ignition under boost. Post-2021 models feature revised PCV calibration; pre-2021 units benefit from updated valve inspection per Ford SIB 19S06. GPF-equipped variants require periodic regeneration to avoid backpressure issues.
Oil Specs: Requires Ford WSS-M2C949-A (5W-30) specification (Ford SIB 19S06). Supersedes ACEA C2 requirements.
Emissions: Euro 6.2 certification applies to 2018-2020 models only (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5678). 2021-2023 models meet Euro 6d (WLTP/RDE).
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. 147 kW output requires 95 RON minimum fuel (Ford TIS Doc. EN-8845).

The Ford EYDD was used across Ford's C2 platform with transverse mounting and shared architecture with Volvo for longitudinal applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-shorter intake manifolds in the Focus ST and enhanced cooling in the Edge-and from 2021 the facelifted Kuga adopted the EYDD variant with cooled EGR and GPF integration, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped horizontally on the left-side cylinder block near the exhaust manifold (Ford TIS EN-8821). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('D' for EYDD series). Pre-2021 models have silver valve covers with black plastic intake manifolds; post-2021 units use black valve covers with integrated GPF sensors. Critical differentiation from base 2.0L EcoBoost: EYDD features twin-scroll turbo (Garrett GT1544V) and HDEV5 injectors. Service parts require model year verification - PCV valves and intake manifolds for pre-2021 models are incompatible with GPF-equipped variants (Ford SIB 19S06).
The EYDD's primary reliability risk is intake carbon buildup on early builds, with elevated incidence in urban and mixed driving. Ford's internal field reports from 2020 indicated a significant number of pre-2021 engines requiring intake cleaning before 100,000 km, while UK DVSA data links a notable share of emissions-related failures to malfunctioning GPF sensors in post-2021 models. Frequent short trips and low-speed operation increase deposit accumulation, making oil quality and driving pattern awareness critical.
