Has anyone else on here had a letter from their dealer or Ford informing them that there is a Product Recall on SOME sump plugs?????
I was speaking to Ford Customer Relations today - concerning my carpets ( see other posts) & was asked why I had not taken my Kuga back to have the sump plug replaced?
Apparently SOME engines have been fitted with the wrong sump plugs - Oh what a surprise mine is one of them. ALL customers who have this "faulty" sump plug have been advised via their dealer of this problem!!!!! & yes suprise number 2, my dealer has NOT contacted me!!!
As far as I am aware the sump plug recall was issued on 28th Nov 2008. & concerns my type of engine! all I know about my engine is it is the 2.0L 16v TDCi (136ps), Diesel, 4x4 - found that on my Log book.
THERE IS NO PANIC here people, just the sump plug leaks, so burns more oil, & can cause excess fumes!!! This might explain the other postings on here about fumes in car!
If you are concerned, the only thing I can suggest is contact Ford Customer Relations 0845 841 1111, quote your Reg & they will advise you as to weather yours is a recall
Hi
Did a bit of a search but couldn't find the same issue.
When I turn the Kuga off I always get a fairly loud buzzing sound from under the bonnet, very much like a pump winding down and lasts about 5-10 seconds. Then on occasion the same buzzing noise is joined by another, sounds much worse...
when I press the start button to just turn ignition on the coil light will start flashing and a relay will start clicking sometimes for about 5 minutes then I got to start and it dies straight away, then try again and it will start but need to hold the revs high or will die again,
had new fuel...
Hi,
I have an 09 MK1. I have discovered that my throttle body does not mate fully with the intake manifold, causing the engine to judder at 2k revs and high load (air/fuel mix off)
I have taken the TB off and the checked the housing (100% intact), the seal ring is solid and I surmised that...
hi ive had a problem starting my Kuga 2.0L Tdci of the past week and its getting worse. the engine turns over but it won't fire. I tried to see if it was the glow plugs but they seemed fine. I did know if it was something to do with the fuel pump as it doesn't sound like it priming.
