too close to the fluid level indicator assembly,
or float assembly damage.
Bypass Condition Test
1. Check the fluid in the brake master cylinderreservoir. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir
if low or empty.
2. Observe the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If after several brake
applications, the fluid level remains the same,
measure the wheel turning torque required to
rotate the wheels with the brakes applied as
follows:
Place the transaxle in the NEUTRAL position.
Raise and support the vehicle. REFER to: (100-02
Jacking and Lifting) Jacking (Description and Operation),
Lifting (Description and Operation).
Apply the brakes with a minimum of 445 N (100
lb) and hold for approximately 15 seconds. With
the brakes still applied, exert a torque on the front
wheels of 10.1 Nm (75 lb ft). If either wheel rotates,
install a new brake master cylinder.
REFER to: Brake Master Cylinder - 2.5L Duratec
(147kW/200PS) - VI5 (206-06 Hydraulic Brake
Actuation, Removal and Installation).
Non-Pressure Leaks
Any empty brake master cylinder reservoir
condition may be caused by two types of
non-pressure external leaks.
Type 1: An external leak may occur at the brake
master cylinder reservoir cap because of incorrect
positioning of the gasket and cap. Reposition the
cap and gasket.
Type 2: An external leak may occur at the brake
master cylinder reservoir mounting seals. Service
such a leak by installing new seals.

Engine - Oil Leaks
NOTE:
Before installing new gaskets or oil seals,
make sure that the fault is clearly established.
If the oil leak cannot be identified clearly by a visual
inspection, carry out an ultraviolet (UV) test:
Ultraviolet (UV) Testing
1. Clean the engine and transmission with a suitable cleaning fluid.
2. Pour the UV-test fluid in accordance with the quantity specified by the manufacturer through
the oil filler neck into the engine and install the
oil filler cap.
WARNING: Vehicles with manual transaxle,
shift the transaxle into Neutral. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.
3. Start the engine and let it run for about five minutes.
4. Switch off the engine.
NOTE: If no leak can be found, road test the
vehicle under various loads and check the engine
for leaks again.
5. Check the engine for oil leaks using a suitable UV lamp.
6. Rectify any leaks found and check the engine for oil leaks.
Measure the compression pressure
NOTE: The powertrain control module (PCM)
receives an error message when the fuel pump
relay is removed or electrical components are disconnected. This error message must be deleted
from the fault memory using the Ford diagnostic
equipment after completing the compression test.
NOTE:
Valve clearance must be set correctly
before performing a compression test. Make sure
the engine is at the normal operating temperature.
NOTE: The varying design of compression
checking devices and fluctuating starter motor
speeds normally only allows for a comparison to
be made of the compression pressures in all
cylinders.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
TO MODEL INDEX
BACK TO CHAPTER INDEX
FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL
Engine – System Operation and Component Description
System Operation
The variable camshaft timing occurs
electro-hydraulically and individually for both
camshafts.
The camshaft adjusters work according to the vane
cell principle and have an adjustment range of 52°
crank angle on the intake side and 47° crank angle
on the exhaust side. On starting the engine and
during idling, both camshafts are mechanically
locked in their starting positions. The exhaust
camshaft is in the early position and the intake
camshaft is in the late position. The camshaftadjuster on the exhaust side has a torsion spring
which compensates the camshaft drive torque.
This ensures that the assembly can return to the
starting position under all operating conditions and
when the engine is turned off.
Internal exhaust gas recirculation can be realized
through continuous adjustment of the timings. This
results in better fuel consumption and more
favorable combustion temperatures which produce
less pollutants. This means that pollutant level IV
can be adhered to with a 3-way catalytic converter.
The variable timings also make it possible to
optimize performance with wide open throttle.
