Your coolant level is very low and for next service i recommend to use Mann filters. You can find everything in Eurocarparts. For pollen filter i also recommend carbon one and don't squeeze it anymore. It needs to fill up all his space inside there . All the best
In regards to your unhappy gearbox, might need to drain & fill your gearbox fluid with new fluid. The fiesta ST's come underfilled at 1.6l or so but will hold 2l of gearbox oil
@sCARs20 it's possible that it may be too late and it be worse than just changing fluid. Also forget to mention that I am across the pond and have a US spec Fiesta ST but I wouldn't be surprised if the same type issues are inherited in ford's international vehicles

Great video i know this question has nothing to do with a service but thought i would ask. am experiencing poor acceleration after gear change it only last for around 5/10 seconds then its fine any idea what could be causing this. On a 2016 ford kuga 2ltr diesel thanks
If you lube the ‘0’ ring up with a little oil it won’t squeak and it will go on and then come of better next time you change the fuel filter. Also why did you not use the bleed kit you had to bleed the air out from your fuel filter ? I would also suggest running the engine to check for leeks before you put the cover back on, but great you’ve doing it all yourself and showing others how to do it too
Thank you for your comment. The reason why I did not use the bleed kit to prime the fuel filter is because the hose from the prime tool and the fuel line were not fitting with eachother😄I mainly put the cover back for the video, but I have test drove the car to make sure it’s all good
Best way with the fuel filter when you've put the new filter in top up with fresh fuel to the top. Then it doesn't need bleeding and spray the engine bay with fuel 😂😂
I agree, although I wouldn’t keep a canister of fuel just for that, so I thought I’d try something that should do it just fine, only that my better half got the buttons all mixed up🤣🤣
I did mine 3 years ago so thought after 3 years it was due again. I just put £5 worth of fuel in a can.. only problem I mentioned it to my stepdaughter her Kuga has never had one and it's 5 years old so guess what I've got hers to do. Only bit I find a pain is the fuel pips clips scared to bust them 😂😂 mines in for oil change and MOT in the morning. Oh recommend a stage one remap goes like stink 196bhp. Tows my caravan well 😜😜 more smiles per mile now
Deffo, I think it does pull nicely, only drove it briefly but quite please. And to my surprise it does a better mpg than my Avensis, which is hard to beat😳
Thanks for your comment! As I couldn’t find a proper way of how to do it, I thought I could try it my way. It does indeed look silly but I didn’t want to risk getting an air lock on the fuel line, so I’d rather look silly😄of course, you don’t have to do everything you watch on TH-cam. Regards
@sCARs20 no worrys lol I think I've now not goona do it myself as I do oil service on my ford an vw golf along with the fuel filter on the vw but I jus feel there will be a issue with the kuga when changing the fuel filter probly goona leave it as everyone keeps saying out new diesel fuel in an remove old one I don't know
@@parmindersidhu9690 although my method looks silly it worked! And yes, you should remove the old fuel from the filter housing. It’s extremely easy to do and save you a few pennies😀
@@parmindersidhu9690 no. you are meant to put the fuel filter into the cap, not into the base. Then use the ratchet to tighten in down. Its impossible to over torque it as the cap stops when its fully tightened.

I was thinking to change the box altogether, but I suppose that trying that first wouldn’t harm. Thanks a lot!
@sCARs20 it's possible that it may be too late and it be worse than just changing fluid. Also forget to mention that I am across the pond and have a US spec Fiesta ST but I wouldn't be surprised if the same type issues are inherited in ford's international vehicles
I’ll first try to drain the oil, and take it from there as I’d first like to see whether the level is indeed lower. Regards
Very good explanation on this service, personally I prefer to use all genuine ford products when doing any servicing.
Wow, Ford Kuga? I've Never Heard That Word Kuga Before, Here in 🇺🇲USA We Used Have One Here Called:
"Ford Escape." Greetings.
🇺🇲🤝🇬🇧
Greetings! Yes, the US do get different names for some cars compared to their EU twin😄
Yes @@sCARs20, Do Also I Haven't Seen The Ford Escapes with Manual Transmission Yet Though, I Only Seen with Automatics Right Now.
I would think that manual transmissions are a rare breed over there😀
Oh OK.😉 No Worries.

not a clue, I’m not a qualified mechanic, just a very enthusiast wanna be one😄

You’re welcome 😁
U primed it so silly these cars have pre prime u jus use the ignition 3 times u press or for 30seconds then start an rev

@sCARs20 did u show yourself removing old fuel I didn't see it
🤣you clearly didn’t watch the video
Look level cooling
That a mark 2.5 and not a mark 2 😊
Technically, there is no such thing as a mk2.5 this is a Mk2 facelift 😄
Yep but everyone calls them mark 2.5 😜
You should take better care of the car man.. clean that engine cover
and fill coolant level too
and the fuel filter, you should put it into the cap, and then screw it on.
and you don't need to prime it. its a self bleed design
@burghyr so u saying hand tighten it first then use the rachet yh
