A simple priming-hum test and fuse check can rule out a cheaper cause before paying for a new fuel pump.

OEM Part Number: FV41-9H307-AA (as quoted in catalogue listings — confirm via VIN) — aftermarket fuel pumps Bosch 0 580 203 262 / Astemo 2503124

Accuracy note: Covers the Ford Kuga (Mk2 2013-2019) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. In-tank fuel pumps are sold two ways: as a complete feed unit (the pump in its swirl pot with the fuel-level sender and float) or as a bare pump that is fitted into the old housing, and petrol and diesel versions are not interchangeable — most diesels have only a low-pressure lift pump in the tank, with the high-pressure pump on the engine. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check fuel type, the plug pin count and whether your car has one sender or two (saddle tanks on 4x4 and some larger cars) against your VIN before ordering.

Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket)	Bosch 0 580 203 262 (in-tank fuel feed unit); Bosch 0 580 200 077 (in-tank fuel pump module); Hüco 133124 / Astemo 2503124 (fuel feed unit, petrol); Hüco 133127 / Astemo 2503127 (fuel pump module, diesel); VDO 2803580309302 (fuel feed unit, petrol); VDO 2803580321302 (fuel pump module, diesel); VDO 2803580258302 (diesel feed unit with lever-type sender); VDO A2C53356148Z (diesel feed unit, 0.6 bar, 12 V, with lever-type sender)
Types & variants	This generation has separate petrol and diesel modules. Petrol 1.5 and 1.6 EcoBoost cars take the Hüco 133124, Astemo 2503124 or VDO 2803580309302 feed unit; 1.5 and 2.0 TDCi diesels take the 0.6 bar lift module with lever sender (VDO A2C53356148Z, VDO 2803580258302, Hüco 133127, Astemo 2503127). All are complete modules with sender; no bare pump motor is listed apart from the Hella pre-supply pump.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	FV41-9H307-AA (Fispa 721012, listed as genuine quality); 2273602 (Hoffer 7507703); 1862107 (Meat & Doria 77667); 1633070 (Meat & Doria 77489); pump no. F7AU9350DB (ERA 775080A).
Fitment notes	Diesel modules are low-pressure lift pumps feeding the engine-mounted high-pressure pump, so a petrol 3 to 4 bar unit must not be fitted to a TDCi. Every unit here is a complete module, so the fuel gauge sender comes with it; the Ford OE numbers quoted (1633070, 1862107, 2273602) mark different build dates, so match the number on the old module.

Before Assuming Pump Failure, Try This Genuine Test — Ford Kuga Fuel Pump

Before assuming the Ford Kuga's fuel pump itself has failed, it's worth trying a simple, genuinely useful check: with the ignition turned to "on" but the engine not yet started, you should hear a faint 2-3 second hum from the rear of the car as the pump primes the fuel system. If you hear nothing at all, check the fuel pump fuse first — commonly fuse F56 in the passenger cabin fuse box on many Ford models, though always confirm your specific car's fuse layout — before assuming the pump itself needs replacing. A blown fuse is a considerably cheaper fix, and it's a genuinely common cause that gets overlooked in favour of jumping straight to pump replacement.

General wear symptoms worth knowing: engine sputtering or hesitation under acceleration, a longer-than-usual crank before starting, a noticeable whining or buzzing noise from the rear of the car near the fuel tank, and stalling at low speeds or idle are the classic signs of a genuinely failing pump rather than a blown fuse or other simpler fault.

Ford Kuga Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Ford Kuga, few faults pick a worse moment to happen than this one, which has a habit of leaving drivers stranded mid-journey rather than failing safely at home. Catching the early signs gives you a genuine head start before that happens to you.

Before you buy: fuel pump specifications vary by engine size and fuel type, and petrol/diesel versions are never interchangeable. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Ford Kuga Fuel Pump: What It Does

On the Ford Kuga, fuel reaches the engine at the pressure combustion needs thanks to the fuel pump, which draws it straight from the tank. It sits submerged inside the tank itself, and that positioning is a big part of why replacement takes more effort than the part's size would suggest.

Accuracy note: these are documented patterns by generation and engine family, not a substitute for confirming your exact engine code — always verify against your V5C before ordering, since petrol and diesel pumps are never interchangeable.

Mk1 (2008–2012), 2.0 TDCi diesel & 2.5 petrol	Spans both diesel (in-tank lift pump plus an engine-mounted high-pressure pump) and petrol (in-tank low-pressure pump, plus a separate high-pressure pump if direct-injection) variants — confirm your exact engine before ordering
Mk2 (2012–2020), 1.5/1.6 EcoBoost petrol & 1.5/2.0 TDCi diesel	Spans both diesel (in-tank lift pump plus an engine-mounted high-pressure pump) and petrol (in-tank low-pressure pump, plus a separate high-pressure pump if direct-injection) variants — confirm your exact engine before ordering
Mk2 (2012–2020), 2.0 EcoBoost petrol	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump
Mk3 (2020–present), 1.5 EcoBoost petrol & 1.5/2.0 EcoBlue diesel	Spans both diesel (in-tank lift pump plus an engine-mounted high-pressure pump) and petrol (in-tank low-pressure pump, plus a separate high-pressure pump if direct-injection) variants — confirm your exact engine before ordering
Mk3 (2020–present), 2.0 EcoBoost petrol & 2.5 Duratec hybrid/PHEV	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump — the hybrid system doesn't change this; the combustion engine still needs its own fuel pump
