“NOTHING wrong with a twin turbo, 60 deg, V-6 these days.
NOTHING.”
My Ford Expedition twin turbo just cost $5200 in coolant tubes that suddenly started leaking a gallon of coolant a day. Turns out the turbos have EIGHT coolant lines that run to and from the bearings and casings with a special electric pump that runs well after you turn the vehicle off so the bearings don’t coke up due to the oil being heated past 500F. Those housings run so hot that the stainless steel lines which have silicon inner linings eventually melt it’s WHEN not if they fail. They had to take the top part of the motor off to get at the turbos then remove the turbos themselves and out whole new turbo kits which include to oil lines that four of them that will also fail in the exact same way. So if you are doing the coolant lines you best do the oil ones too in fact Ford doesn’t sell them separately they come as a two turbine kit with 8 coolant and four oil lines Ford knows this is a design flaw so they sell the kits to extend the life till they fail AGAIN. They estimate every 100,000 miles you will need that turbo kit.
So yeah there is something very very wrong with twin turbo V6. That Expedition and the F250 diesel only exist in the vehicle pool because they can go where the Model 3 and Model Y cannot, off road doing truck things or to a rig site in West Texas that you need 9”+ of ground clearance to even get too. Never had a single issue with either Tesla they are both under warranty and will be sold or returned on the lease before that warranty ends. Couldn’t be happier with those Teslas.
