Hi, I imagine this topic has been extensively discussed, but here goes: My Ford Kuga Trend 2013 has done just under 110,000km. I took it to Ford for a minor service and DPF cleanout.

Hi all, got a new kuga titanium plus. After only 1200km (800miles) the outside air temperature sensor reports a wide range of temperatures. As an example thismorning it was -19C and 5 minutes into journey it was 40C. Actual temp is 12C. And it jumps back to -15C back to 24C over the course of a few minutes. Now this is not a piece of eye candy.

Uncommon for failure on MK2 but hey, Im currently riding the “dpfs suck ass” train. vapouriser - 1877097. cant find a part number for the sensor, i think its more of a vacuum line that the ecu detects the difference in line pressure. i might be wrong.
