FORD EYPD engine (2020–2023) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Ford EYPD is a 1,998 cc, inline-four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2020 and 2023. It belongs to the EcoBoost family, featuring direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbocharging, and variable cam timing. Delivering 184 kW (250 PS) and 373 Nm of torque, it provides strong performance for sport-oriented applications. The high-pressure fuel system operates at up to 350 bar, enhancing combustion efficiency and throttle response.

Fitted to performance-focused models such as the Focus ST (Mk4), Puma ST, and Fiesta ST, the EYPD was engineered to deliver a responsive driving experience with improved thermal efficiency. Emissions compliance is achieved through a three-way catalytic converter and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), allowing Euro 6d compliance across all production years (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/6789).

One documented concern is high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) wear under aggressive driving conditions. This issue, highlighted in Ford Service Information Bulletin 21S04, is linked to lubrication limitations in the Bosch HDEV6 system. From 2022, Ford introduced revised pump cam follower materials and updated engine calibration to reduce wear rates.

Compliance Note:

All production years (2020–2023) meet Euro 6d emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/6789).

EYPD Technical Specifications

The Ford EYPD is a 1,998 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine designed for high-performance compact models (2020–2023). It combines high-pressure direct injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver strong mid-range torque and rapid throttle response. Engineered to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances spirited performance with modern emissions compliance.

Practical Implications

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 turbocharger and HPFP health. Ford WSS-M2C949-B (5W-30) oil is critical due to its shear stability and detergency protecting the high-pressure fuel system. Extended aggressive driving increases thermal load on the HPFP. The Bosch HDEV6 fuel pump demands minimum 98 RON fuel to prevent pre-ignition under boost. Post-2022 models feature revised cam follower materials; pre-2022 units benefit from inspection per Ford SIB 21S04. GPF-equipped variants require periodic regeneration to avoid backpressure issues.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires Ford WSS-M2C949-B (5W-30) specification (Ford SIB 21S04). Supersedes ACEA C2 requirements.

Emissions: All EYPD models meet Euro 6d (WLTP/RDE) standards (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/6789).

Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. 184 kW output requires 98 RON minimum fuel (Ford TIS Doc. EN-9146).

EYPD Compatible Models

The Ford EYPD was used across Ford's C2 platform with transverse mounting and shared architecture with Volvo for longitudinal applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-enhanced cooling in the Focus ST and compact intake routing in the Puma ST-and from 2022 the facelifted Fiesta ST adopted the EYPD variant with revised HPFP calibration and GPF integration, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped horizontally on the left-side cylinder block near the exhaust manifold (Ford TIS EN-9120). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('D' for EYPD series). Pre-2022 models have silver valve covers with black plastic intake manifolds; post-2022 units use black valve covers with integrated GPF sensors. Critical differentiation from base 2.0L EcoBoost: EYPD features twin-scroll turbo (Garrett GT1749V) and HDEV6 injectors. Service parts require model year verification - HPFP and cam followers for pre-2022 models are incompatible with GPF-equipped variants (Ford SIB 21S04).

Identification Details

Evidence:

Ford TIS Doc. EN-9120

Location:

Stamped horizontally on the left-side cylinder block near the exhaust manifold (Ford TIS EN-9120).

Visual Cues:

  • Pre-2022: Silver valve cover with black intake manifold
  • Post-2022: All-black valve cover with GPF sensor wiring
Compatibility Notes

Intake:

Intake manifolds for pre-2022 EYPD engines are not compatible with post-facelift GPF-equipped models due to revised port geometry and sensor integration.

Evidence:

Ford SIB 21S04

H P F P System:

High-pressure fuel pump cam follower material revised in 2022 Fiesta ST facelift. Pre-2022 units should be inspected per Ford SIB 21S04 to reduce wear risk.
HPFP Wear

Issue:

Early EYPD engines experienced premature high-pressure fuel pump wear due to inadequate lubrication under sustained high-load operation.

Evidence:

Ford SIB 21S04

Recommendation:

Inspect HPFP cam follower and replace if worn per Ford SIB 21S04.

Common Reliability Issues - FORD EYPD

The EYPD's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump wear on early builds, with elevated incidence in track and mixed driving. Ford's internal field reports from 2021 indicated a notable number of pre-2022 engines requiring HPFP replacement before 80,000 km, while UK DVSA data links a significant share of emissions-related failures to malfunctioning GPF sensors in post-2022 models. Frequent high-load operation and short warm-up cycles increase wear, making oil quality and driving pattern awareness critical.

High-pressure fuel pump wear or failure
Symptoms: Ticking noise under load, hard starts, fuel pressure DTCs, stalling, misfires.
Cause: Premature wear in HDEV6 pump cam follower due to inadequate lubrication during sustained high-RPM operation.
Fix: Replace pump with latest revision part; ensure use of 98 RON+ fuel and maintain oil change intervals.
Turbocharger wastegate actuator sticking
Symptoms: Boost fluctuation, over-boost DTCs, limp mode, delayed throttle response.
Cause: Carbon accumulation on wastegate lever mechanism due to heat soak and exhaust soot exposure over time.
Fix: Inspect and replace actuator or lever assembly per OEM procedure; verify free movement and recalibrate in diagnostics.
Intake carbon buildup
Symptoms: Rough idle, misfires, reduced throttle response, MAF sensor faults, check engine light.
Cause: Oil vapour from crankcase ventilation depositing on intake valves due to direct injection design and frequent low-load operation.
Fix: Clean intake valves and replace PCV valve per service bulletin; update engine calibration and use top-tier petrol additives preventatively.
Oil leaks from valve cover gasket
Symptoms: Oil residue on exhaust manifold, burning smell, low oil level warnings.
Cause: Age-related degradation of valve cover gasket material, exacerbated by thermal cycling and positive crankcase pressure.
Fix: Replace gasket with OEM part and inspect PCV system function; use Ford WSS-M2C949-B oil to reduce volatility.
