Why is my Ford Kuga experiencing engine overheating?

I have a Ford Kuga and recently noticed that the engine temperature is rising higher than usual. What could be causing this issue? How can I prevent it from happening in the future?

The most common cause of engine overheating in a Ford Kuga is a faulty thermostat. I suggest taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary. You should also regularly check and top up your coolant levels to prevent this issue.

Another possible cause of engine overheating could be a malfunctioning radiator fan. If the fan is not working properly, it may not cool the engine properly, resulting in overheating. You should have the fan replaced or repaired as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.

Low oil levels or a dirty oil filter can also contribute to engine overheating. I recommend checking your oil levels regularly and changing the filter every 3,000 miles or as recommended by the manufacturer. This will keep your engine running smoothly and prevent overheating.
