Model: Ford Kuga C394, MK 1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Timing belt

Want to replace the timing belt on the Ford Kuga? Lift the front bonnet, remove the engine cover panel and the timing belt cover. Raise the car on a column lift and remove the undertray located under the vehicle, then unscrew the screws of the right splash guard along with the wheel using a screwdriver. With a spanner, loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the tensioner pulley bolt, then remove the water pump. Install the new water pump, the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket wrench. Refit the splash guard and various covers.
