The Ford FUJB is a 1,999 cc, inline-four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2018 and 2023. Part of Ford's EcoBoost family, it features direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbocharging, and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), delivering 147 kW (200 PS) and 320 Nm of torque. Designed for responsive performance and improved efficiency, it uses an integrated exhaust manifold and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to enhance throttle response and emissions control.
Fitted to models such as the Ford Focus ST, Kuga ST-Line, and Edge, the FUJB was engineered for drivers seeking a balance of sporty performance and everyday usability. It meets Euro 6d emissions standards through a combination of precise fuel metering, advanced ignition control, and a gasoline particulate filter (GPF), which captures fine particulates from direct-injection combustion.
One documented concern is carbon buildup on intake valves, particularly in vehicles used for frequent short trips or urban driving. This issue, referenced in Ford Workshop Manual Supplement WSS-M9407-A, is inherent to direct-injection engines where fuel does not wash over the intake ports. From 2020, revised ECU calibration and updated service intervals were introduced to mitigate deposit accumulation and maintain airflow efficiency.
All FUJB models comply with Euro 6d emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7890).
The Ford FUJB is a 1,999 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine engineered for performance-oriented applications (2018–2023). It combines direct fuel injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver strong mid-range torque and rapid throttle response. Designed to meet Euro 6d emissions standards, it integrates a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) and cooled EGR to balance performance with environmental compliance.

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong low-to-mid-range torque ideal for spirited driving but requires adherence to 240,000 km or 12-year timing chain inspection intervals to prevent catastrophic engine damage. Ford WSS-M2C945-B (5W-30) oil is essential for maintaining turbocharger and high-pressure fuel pump longevity. The GDi system demands regular use of high-octane fuel (98 RON) to prevent knock and maintain performance. Carbon buildup on intake valves is inevitable over time, especially with short-trip driving; periodic walnut blasting is recommended. Post-2020 models feature improved ECU calibration to reduce deposit formation.
Oil Specs: Requires Ford WSS-M2C945-B specification (Ford WSS-M9407-A). Compatible with ACEA A5/B5 but not C2/C3.
Emissions: All FUJB variants comply with Euro 6d standards (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7890).
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585. Output assumes use of 98 RON fuel (Ford WSM Doc. WSM-ENG-0345).

VCA Type Approval Database (VCA/EMS/7890)
The Ford FUJB was used across Ford's Focus ST/Kuga platforms with transverse mounting and shared architecture with the Edge SUV. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-tuned turbo boost in the Focus ST and revised cooling circuits in the Edge-and from 2020, the facelifted Kuga adopted a revised GPF layout, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the rear face of the cylinder block, near the transmission bellhousing (Ford WSM A15067). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('J' for FUJB series). Pre-2020 models have a silver turbocharger housing; post-2020 units feature a black housing with updated GPF routing. Critical differentiation from 1.5L EcoBoost: FUJB uses a larger displacement (1,999 cc vs 1,498 cc) and twin-scroll turbo. Service parts require model-year verification—GPF assemblies for pre-2020 models are not compatible with later units due to packaging changes (Ford WSS-M9407-A).
The FUJB's primary reliability risk is intake valve carbon buildup in vehicles used for frequent short trips or urban driving. Internal Ford quality reports from 2021 indicated a significant share of pre-2020 units required intake cleaning before 100,000 km, while UK DVSA MOT data shows GPF saturation as a leading cause of emissions failures in city-operated vehicles. Extended idling and poor fuel quality exacerbate intake and emissions system stress, making fuel quality and driving patterns critical.
