Where is the coolant filler port on the Ford Kuga?
1 Answers
Ford Kuga's coolant filler port is located on the left side of the engine compartment at the front of the vehicle, specifically on the auxiliary reservoir (expansion tank). Additionally, there is another filler port on the radiator. Coolant replacement procedure: Before performing a complete coolant replacement, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in all hoses. Pay special attention to the five-way hose (named for its five connection points that distribute coolant to different parts of the vehicle). If any coolant leakage is detected in this area, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Coolant replacement intervals: For vehicles with extended operation periods (e.g., taxis), high-quality coolant should typically be replaced annually. Vehicles with shorter operation cycles may replace coolant every two years or 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foaming that reduces heat transfer efficiency, always verify the product's expiration date before adding. Long-life coolants remain effective for up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, or discoloration are observed in the coolant, replace it immediately and flush the system.
