They can be problematic. But this was also new territory for me too. I only tend to learn something when I have to fix it.

I had exactly the same part fail on my Mondeo, twice. Changed it myself, easy fix

Having worked in the retail side of the motor trade for many years the DPF is the most common problem with Kugas either the sensor or the pipes that come off of the DPF can split causing bad readings. 👍🏻🇬🇧

Great video love watching surely that’s not the original battery had a Ford sticker on it wow 14 years old 👍

Yeah I was wondering the same. But it’s a very strong battery. I can leave the car for 2 weeks and it starts no problem in the middle of winter.

Good for you Bud

Nice one Luke, you should put a new steering wheel on that too-or maybe it was the sun making it look worn

I’d like to put a new one on. It’s a bit worn and I can’t see it being expensive to replace.

There should be no black soot on the back of the car or the tip of the exhaust, as that's what the DPF is there for to capture all the soot, not some of it. It captures all of it . If you see any soot , the DPF is damaged, it's really that simple.

@TorqueSteer

Yep you're right. The black soot on the tip is from when the DPF was previously faulty. I'm still trying to fully clean the exhaust out but its near impossible to get rid of all the residual carbon.

How did remove the engine malfunction light

What diagnostic tool do you use? Thanks

It’s a launch/Kingbolen one. I did a review a couple of weeks ago on it. You can find it on my channel :)

Yeah it sure is. I've always had a soft spot for Pugs. 205, 309 and 405s especially for me.

which obd dongle and software did you use? Would you reccommend it?

Hi, it's a Kingbolen Ediag. There's a link in the description. Yeah I think it's good. It's the one I'm using at the moment and does the job well for me. I was very happy with how it worked on this Kuga. Please bear in mind though that it's a subscription based model (yearly fee).

My Kuga had this issue I bought a genuine sensor from ,eBay but within months the problem came back,I then went to Ford's which cost me £89 ,are you sure what you've bought is not a Chinese fake because that's what happened to me

It had a fake one on it before. It has been replaced with a genuine but used one.

I had this fail twice in 50k on my 2009 kuga. Same sensor is on the xc90

I would say mate if you stick your finger up exhaust and wipe it out it should stay clean.. if sooty then no dpf or dpf is cracked..

what scanner app are you using? ta

Kingbolen Ediag. There's a link in the description for Amazon. I did a review recently on it on this channel.

Any mechanic who knows what they’re doing would have gone straight to the sensor, plus I hardly think anyone would scrap it with this fault.

@TorqueSteer

6 ай бұрын

Someone already did go for the sensor as it was an aftermarket part. I dunno if they had replaced the original Ford one with a defective one and then moved on thinking it was something else. But yeah, that's the main reason the car was gonna be scrapped. I mean there was other things, like it being extremely dirty inside and out and it need a new key and a seatbelt buckle, but it certainly wasn't beyond saving with a bit of TLC.

Do u need to do a reset on this sensor

@TorqueSteer

I don't believe so, but I may be wrong.

I never found a genuine one for £13, more £130!? You also need to tell the car that it’s had a new sensor fitted and reset the learned values in ForScan.
