It's an excellent video, don't get me wrong...but this here is one of the many reasons people keep saying to me, "Why did you buy a Ford?!"

[@johnpope2095]

Shouldn’t the red transport plugs be removed. Great video!

What a disaster to change battery, Im lucky I dont have and never will have ford. Bmw or audi is so nice to change batteries

[@Dazzlar7]

Nice vid, can’t believe Ford thought it was a good idea to make it difficult for Joe Public to change the battery

[@p.macdermott2490]

Brilliant video. Each action clearly described.I dreaded taking my car to dealership to have battery changed. This video' shows each step in a way that anyone can do the job and save a lot of money. Thank you very much .

Took me 50 mins. When removing the battery the first time those negative wires (including ground I believe) are behind a shroud behind the thing that keeps the battery down. You also clip that open

Thank you for taking the time to upload this video, simple steps, but without this video I wouldn't have had a clue! Much appreciated

You do NOT need to remove the wipers and the trim. That's a load of crap. You can easily remove the front panel of the battery box then the battery lifts out at a 45 degree angle. I've done it twice on our 2010 Kuga.

My battery packed up so was ringing around garages for them to supply and fit a new battery. £200 thought there was no way I was paying that so I ordered a decent Varta battery and watched your video, saved myself £90. Only really awkward part for me was the wires on the negative terminal, could not get them off so just eased them off with the terminal cable.. Would never have attempted it if I did not watch your video thats for sure.

Few years on and Ive come back to this video again. Really well described and clear to follow. Thank you

[@LoneSheWolf09]

Thank you very much just saved us some pennies and we both enjoyed the learning curve experience without having to always rely on the garage to sort things out when we can do it at home if/when possible. Thank you

What a marvellous demonstration. It has made me accept that I will be advised to get it done at a garage and take the cost hit. I am too old to do this now but in my younger days I would have been able to with this excellent video. Well done.

Swapped my battery today on a 2013 Kuga, made simple with your video. Thanks so much!

[@TommyLondon1]

Followed every step of your upload and changed battery without any problems. Thank you for uploading such an informative, concise video, it made the job so much easier.

Saved me a lot of time changing a battery on the roadside on a very cold evening, so thank you.

Just changed the battery on my 2015 Kuga. Saved almost £100 and was done in under 20 minutes. Mine had an extra box attached to the air pipe but it was just 2 screws and a jubilee clip to remove before the air box screws.

Dziękuję bardzo za instrukcje jak wymienić akumulator przydało się 👍

[@armchairgeneralissimo]

Someone send this man a 3/8 socket set and some ratcheting spanners 😆

[@edwardkelly3425]

Thanks a million. Saved me an enormous headache. €160 for the battery was a lot better than it could have been
