got a 60 plate Kuga and it smells damp inside but i cannot seem to find the source of the smell. all the carpots and boot feels dry and theres no water in the spare wheel area.

any one had any problems like this or have any ideas as to where it could be from ?

Cheers Darren

 

Yeah m8 they have water ingress probs....behind pass seat take floor storage out an unscrew it..mines was soaking wet there and also under pass seat....apparently there a seal prob at bulkhead and seal issue on boot seals at the split part .....been bk at dealership few times..changed carpet and sound deadening etc ...ah have had some weird electrical gremlins since then also...

 

Could be a build up of bacteria in the air-con evaporator, get the AC on , hot for a while see if it improves.

 

has it had a windscreen fitted even in your ownership or before?

 

hi Darren I had trouble with my 2010 Kuga and there was water getting down through the chassis rails and some how into the storage compartments under the carpets in the rear foot wells the garage took a couple of days to find it by taking the front wings off and keeping a hose pipe onto the front of the car, They fixed it by using a different sealer somewhere on it to stop and had to have new carpets and sound proof as they didn't dry out well and because it was still in warranty, just lift the rear carpets and the compartment covers and have a look hope this helps, Cheers nipper.1

 

I thought this would be a post about an older woman preying on younger men and getting a bit damp.
