Quick question ref RWD Mk8's

Postby KevofCov » Mon Jun 19, 2017 7:17 pm

Quick question about Mk 8’s RWD transits.
I’ve had and enjoyed a number of rear wheel drive MK7’s. I’m struggling to find my new (to me) MK7 so am considering a Mk8 – will have to do it one day......
In 2014 did Ford use the same MK 7 (2.2ltr RWD) engine and gear box in the Mk 8 or is a completely new set up?

Same subject - further thoughts...

Is the suspension the same?
Also is there still two batteries under the drivers seat?

Suspension is basically the same altough parts aren't interchangeable between mk7 and mk8's. yes batteries are still under the drivers seat.
