The importance of engine support on a Ford Kuga

Model: Ford Kuga C394, MK 1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Engine mount

In this video we see a seriously damaged engine mount, which risks compromising the safety of the Ford Kuga on which it is mounted. In fact, the engine mount has the function of securely anchoring the engine to the vehicle chassis, preventing it from moving excessively, especially during acceleration, braking, and turns. The engine naturally produces vibrations, and one function of the mount is to absorb them, along with noise, preventing them from being transmitted to the cabin. In this way, the engine is also held in position, preventing damage from impacts against other engine components. Therefore, symptoms such as excessive vibrations, abnormal noises, visible engine movements, difficulty in shifting gears, can all be signs of a defective engine mount.

Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
