DPF Filter problems Ford Kuga
I do a 152 motorway miles every workday and I have a DPF filter light. The light comes on is then reset (for £40) ok for a bit comes on again (this time £97 for reset and regen) and guess what its back on. My Ford dealer now advise a new DPF (very expensive). I done 68,000miles does this seem right?

That can be the life of the DPF with a PSA 1.6 or 2.0 litre diesel engine. The DPF of the Kuga is a coated type, not an Eolys regenerated type. Apparently Ford offers refurbed exchange DPFs for the Kuga for £300 each.

I bought a Ford Direct (10 reg) Ford Kuga from a Ford Dealer last December. The front passenger footwell gets wet when it rains heavily, usually whilst the car is parked.
My local Ford dealer had it...
Is it possible to retro fit my 2011 Ford Kuga 2.0TDCI with a dashboard symbol that will warn me when the ECU triggers a DPF regeneration, so that I know not to switch off the engine till it has finished?
My Ford Kuga is 3 weeks old and has 874 miles on. it now has an Engine Malfunction light and the car will not exceed 40 miles an hour.
It has been back with the dealer for eight days and they do not know...
