Had the kuga now for a month, jumped in the car the other morning to start her up when there was a **** of a shudder from under the car, it sounded like the exaust pipe was banging against the floor panel, it seemed ok for a few days then it happend again this morning, has anybody had the same problem.
I've had my Kuga for a similar time and although i have not experienced this particular problem i will certainly be keeping an eye and ear out for any such thing happening.
Is it a 1.8TDCI? I had the same problem with my S-Max. I'm related to someone that works at Ford. He said that the 1.8TDCI engine has a problem with the flywheel and that if it happens to imedietly switch off the engine as damage might occur. If it keeps happening you should take it back to the dealer.

My new Kuga hasn't done this yet, if it did, it would be straight back to the dealer...

We have now named our Kuga Puddles, the car is 09 bought new and has 3000 m on the clock. In the last week it has decided to fill the passenger footwell with water. The local dealer took the veh in to investigate and found a large leak coming in the rear of the roof! we advised them that the car...
Hi all,
Just fitted an Android Double-Din head unit, came with Torque App pre-installed. Already had a cheap OBD2 Code Reader so plugged it in and set it up.
Managed to get good feedback from vehicle speed, revs, vacuum/boost, and coolant temp. The only display that isn't yet working correctly...
Hi Guys
First post from a Danish Kuga owner.
A few months ago my 2010 2.0 TDCi 140 AWD put out a Engimal funktion and turned on ESP light, at the samt time I got the message "Transmission limited funktion".
I was able to get a readout of the DTC and it was P1169 and P1719.
I've got the above...
My Kuga has developed a grinding noise from the Off-side Rear of the vehicle whilst cornering at low speed.
It only occurs when cornering, not in a straight line. Doesn't do it all the time, although it's becoming more frequent.
It would appear both Rear Drive Shafts have been replaced at...
