I've just got my new Kuga Titanium and just joined the forum. So a big hello!
Having read some of the comments on the forum most people really seem pleased with their Kuga, I must say it's the dog danglies! I would go as far to say it's the best car I've owned!
I would like to share a few things that I've done in the hope it may help someone else?
I've put mud flaps on, I got mine off e-bay for £40 for front & rear. If you can use a screwdriver they're easy to do, it's a case of take out the screws that hold the inner arch liner, place the flap on and replace the screws, there are some clips to put on and they are easy too except the fronts, they are a little too tight so I just opened the clip a little with some pliers. It's possible to do the flaps without jacking up the car as shown in the instructions as long as you have a small driver or socket set, so you can do it in as little as 10 minutes a corner.
I also saw somewhere someone asking about sill guards. I've installed sill guards, because the Kuga shares the same floor plan as the C-max and Focus the sill profile is the same. I got mine from Lockwoods:
If you do buy these, when fitting be sure to line them up correctly, the front ones: line the front edge of the guard about an inch in front of the join of the inner sill trim, also make sure the outer edge goes over the first bit of the plastic sill trim. The backs: line these up with join in the inner sill trim and the outer edge the same as the fronts.
I hope that it doesn't sound to complicated and it helps someone?
I'm really enjoying my Kuga and I hope you also do!
wow, welcome and THANK YOU for your help and info, I'v been pondering over the mud flaps, you have re-assured me of ease of fit. It is ace, must be new member daily on this site and all loving the mighty kuga. Hello and have fun.....
Sounds like you really are enjoying your new Kuga. As for the mudflapsi'm still in two minds wether or not to get some as have not seen any pics with them on but if they are that easy to fit i might just get them anyway....
Hi, here are the pictures of my mud flaps and sill guards. I think they look great and they also cut down the amount of crap that gets sprayed over the car!
The sill guards are great investment if like me you have children with elephant feet!!
I've looked at the other pages on mud flaps, however, the instructions on there do say to jack up the car and as another user has pointed out you can do it without doing so!
Hi another newbie here.

Hi. I own a Kuga Titanium TDCI 4x4 Auto. The heated front windscreen has a bad distortion when turned on, plus, it also turns itself on even in the middle of what was a hot summer!! When this happens no light appears on the dash and I am unable to turn it off. I only know that it is coming on...
Anyone have a source for the little side access panels (carpet type) that fit in the boot trim. I'm needing a near side one (P/No. 0461303001). Any help greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
Just thought I'd introduce myself - just got my Kuga a few days ago and loving it. I've read lots of info here, so thanks to all for posting, and I'll be sure to let you know if (when) I have questions.
Cheers,
Paddy
I am trying to update the sat nav data on my 2014 Kuga 2.0 Titanium X Sport after having an appalling experience in southern France going round the same town 3 times in different directions and not getting on the road to where I wanted to go. Where do I find the SD card to update it.
