Wife's Kuga started to do the whine thing a few weeks ago. This morning it wouldn't start. Checked the voltage with engine running - only 12v.
Diagnosis - Alternator dead.
It's a Denso alternator, so I think I'll try a Bosch replacement as it seems they are very prone to failure at an early stage (5 years, 50k)
Part no BOSCH - 0 986 049 071 , Ford 3M5T-10300-YD
