Kuga 2010 TCDI Battery issue

Featured Replies

I'm getting a tad annoyed with my Kuga atm, as the battery keeps going flat. I live in Kent and work in London and drive the route at east once every two weeks, with the rest being little local trips. But recently, the battery seems to be dying a few days after the London trips. When I unlock the car the indicators flash intermittently like the alarm is trying to initiate. I had a new battery installed last year, from a good source, so I'm stumped as to why the battery seems to be draining itself so quickly..... HELP



I think there's plenty of battery drain posts for the Kuga on various forums, I've not read them personally though. There are similar problem on the other Ford models and people seemed to have narrowed it down to the Bluetooth module or the stereo in some cases.

What battery did you fit? My friends 2010 Kuga had problems too but I swapped it out (3 years ago) for a Yuasa Silver 110 and it's been fine since.
