In 2009, the Ford JQDA or 1.6 EcoBoost 150 SCTI 1.6-liter turbo engine was first introduced. A year later, the third generation Focus model and the C-MAX compact van were powered by this engine. This power unit has undergone additional modifications with different JQDB and YUDA indexes.
Internal combustion engines JQMA, JTBA, and JTMA are also part of the 1.6 EcoBoost line.
The engine was installed on:
- Ford C-Max Mk2 in 2010 – 2015;
- Ford Focus Mk3 in 2010 – 2014.

Disadvantages of the JQDA engine
This motor’s fire risk prompted the announcement of a recall campaign;
A fire may be started by the coolant pump’s electromechanical clutch;
The engine leads the block after breaking through the gasket out of extreme fear of overheating;
The valve cover becomes bent and begins to sweat oil for the same reason; when knocking happens, the thermal clearances of the valves must be adjusted.
