Windscreen replacement

Hi all, My Dad’s 2020 Puma Titanium has just picked up a huge stone chip in the windscreen and it cannot be repaired, so needs replacement. Are there different specs of windscreen for the Puma due to sensors etc or would they all be the same? Not sure what standard fit was but the screen is heated a...

Re: Battery problem update

Want to try charging the battery. I have a Ctek MXS 5.0 that I use to top up the AGM type battery in my car, but not sure whether the Puma battery is an AGM type or need to put the charger in standard mode. The standard battery is not a AGM. Put your CTEK charger in standard mode, plus recon if you...

Re: Battery problem update

My Dad’s Puma has recently been showing us the Deep Sleep, remote features are being shut down to preserve battery, but don’t worry messages for the last couple of weeks. Stop/start system hasn’t worked for months - can’t blame it on the cold weather any more😄. Want to try charging the battery. I ha...

Re: Paint chip repairs

I ordered some off ebay for a small chip on the leading edge of the roof. It has a brush as well as a needle applicator which probably works by capillary action or something. Wipe the needle clean and the paint then begins to flow again. You have to be quick as otherwise the blob at the end of the ...

Re: Puma - new variants

Looking at the Ford website, they’ve added the option to add front and rear mats in either rubber and velour when building your spec. Can we take from that that these are no longer included as standard too? Looks like it :cry: :shock: However, it seems that ALL manufacturers are removing things and...

Re: Sync software update !!!

For those that have done the Sync/map updates via wifi, if the car starts to connect and then disconnect from the wifi network after just a couple of minutes is that a way of telling that the car is up to date so it has dropped the connection? Had routinely remained connected for 30 minutes before b...

Re: Ford pass app

So, do we think these are massively delayed Securialert messages? I got a load come through early Tuesday morning, some more towards the end of the England match last night and another batch early this morning spread between just after midnight and 04:30 this morning. If that's the case then what a ...

Re: Sync software update !!!

I installed the Sync update via USB stick but as car does not go on long enough journeys to allow it to install the map updates that way without being interrupted, decided to hook the car up to the home wi-fi. It has been downloading and installing bits as it goes. On Saturday, I turned on the ignit...

Guard now renamed to Securialert and Vehicle Status added.
Yes, updated iOS app today and noticed the extra Vehicle Status icon. Is this where it shows fault messages/warnings going forwards?
