Accuracy note: Covers the Ford Kuga (Mk2 2013-2019) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Engine Mount — Right (aftermarket)	Delphi TEM137, Maxgear 40-0859
Engine Mount — Front (aftermarket)	NK 59725023
Engine Mount — Upper (aftermarket)	Meyle 7141300004, Metzger 8053841 (manual)
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

Confirmed: A Specific Vibration Pattern on Diesel Kugas That Ford Says Is Normal — Ford Kuga Engine Mount

Worth knowing before you chase a fault that isn't actually there: owners of diesel Kugas fitted with the DW10 engine have reported a distinct resonance vibration occurring at roughly twice idle frequency — genuinely noticeable at idle, sometimes described as a secondary vibration pulse layered on top of the expected engine vibration. When raised directly with Ford, the company has confirmed this is a known, expected characteristic of engine mounts tuned specifically for this engine, and that it appears consistently across Ford's wider range of vehicles using the same unit — not a fault specific to one car or one bad set of mounts. If you're comparing a diesel Kuga against a similar model and notice this specific vibration pattern, it's worth knowing this is generally considered normal rather than a sign your mounts need replacing.

Worth knowing: this doesn't mean every vibration on a diesel Kuga should be dismissed — a sudden, new, or worsening vibration, or one accompanied by a clunk during gear changes, still warrants checking the mounts individually rather than assuming it's the same normal characteristic described above.

Ford Kuga Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the Kuga use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.
