The Ford F37D is a 1,998 cc, inline — four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2021 and 2023. It belongs to the EcoBoost family, featuring direct fuel injection, twin — scroll turbocharging, and variable cam timing. Delivering 190 kW (258 PS) and 400 Nm of torque, it provides high performance for sport — oriented SUV applications. The high — pressure fuel system operates at up to 350 bar, enhancing combustion efficiency and throttle response.
Fitted to performance…
All production years (2021–2023) meet Euro 6d emissions standards .
The Ford F37D is a 1,998 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine designed for high-performance SUVs (2021–2023). It combines high-pressure direct injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver strong mid-range torque and rapid throttle response. Engineered to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances spirited performance with modern emissions compliance.

The Ford F37D was used across Ford's C2 platform with transverse mounting and shared architecture with Volvo for longitudinal applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-enhanced cooling in the Kuga ST-Line X and compact intake routing in the Edge ST-Line-and from 2022 the facelifted Kuga adopted the F37D variant with revised HPFP calibration and GPF integration, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The F37D delivers strong performance and responsiveness, but early models (2021-2021) are prone to high-pressure fuel pump wear. Later revisions (2022+) with updated cam follower materials show improved durability. Well-maintained engines with regular oil changes and quality fuel can exceed 120,000 km. Using Ford-approved 5W-30 oil and avoiding frequent high-RPM operation enhances longevity.
The most common issues are high-pressure fuel pump wear, turbo wastegate actuator sticking, and intake valve carbon buildup. Oil leaks from the valve cover gasket and GPF sensor faults in post-2022 models are also reported. These are documented in Ford service bulletins and field reports.
The F37D is used in the Kuga (2021–2023 ST-Line X) and Edge (2021–2023 ST-Line). It also forms the basis for Volvo's B4205T6 engine in the XC60 (2022–2023). All applications are turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost variants with 258 PS output in full-power form.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the F37D platform, but increasing boost or altering engine parameters accelerates component wear, impacts emissions compliance, and may void vehicle warranties. Any modifications should be evaluated carefully by a qualified specialist.
In combined driving, expect 9.0–10.0 L/100km (28–31 mpg UK). The Kuga ST-Line X averages ~9.5 L/100km, while the Edge may reach 10.0 L/100km under spirited use. Real-world economy depends on driving style, but highway cruising can achieve up to 33 mpg UK with gentle driving.
Yes. The F37D is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or jumps, piston-to-valve contact can occur, resulting in severe internal damage. The front-mounted chain is robust, but any unusual noise or warning lights should be investigated immediately to prevent costly repairs.
Ford specifies WSS-M2C949-B (5W-30) synthetic oil. This low-SAPS formulation is essential for protecting the turbocharger, HPFP, and direct injection components. Change oil every 15,000 km or annually, and always use top-tier petrol to minimize carbon deposits and maintain engine health.
