2013 Kuga 2.0 diesel throttle body

[ssray]

How easy is it to get the throttle body off and clean it? I had a quick look and it seems quite far back and hidden

I don’t think it has a throttle body..?

I believe most modern diesels have throttle bodies to allow over fuelling for EGR regeneration, it’s also a system to prevent diesel runaway if the oil seals in the turbo fail

Throttle body is the same as the anti shudder valve on a diesel isn't it?

That's what I was going to suggest too.

I didn't even realise such things existed until I had some intermittent starting trouble with the Galaxy, and found that the anti shudder valve was sticking shut. A good clean and stretching the return spring a little solved it.

On that car - a 2010 2.0TDCi, so presumably not entirely dissimilar engine-wise to OP's Kuga - removing the anti shudder valve was pretty straightforward:
- remove intake pipework from valve (1x jubilee clip)
- disconnect 2x electrical connectors (one is for the intake temp sensor, note that this is a delicate little thing that sticks into the airflow inside the valve body, careful not to damage it! The other is for the pressure sensor)
- disconnect vacuum line
- remove 3x Torx screws securing valve to intake manifold
