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. 👍🏻🇬🇧
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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).
