elanmac Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Can I fit 17" 215-45 Focus ST 170 wheels on my Fiesta 1.0 Zetec with no problems (studs are the same pcd) and should I be seeing a frost warning on my display ? I have the temp showing but not very accurately this morning showing 3 deg with the screen and surrounding area frosted over. Thanks in advance.

Phil 87 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I don't know about the wheels but the frost warning is correct, I think they always come on if the temp is 4 degrees C or below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 + 1 on the frost / ice warning ( amber then red ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elanmac Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks for the replies, it looks like my low temp sensor is u/s or missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Frost warning goes red when at 1°or 0°I believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Frost warning goes red when at 1°or 0°I believe? Yes I think it's at 0 degrees. It's a good warning light to have, but I bet a lot of people think they can drive like normal even when the light isn't on, if they don't know how ineffective summer tyres are below around 7 degrees.

elanmac Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 I can't find the low temp sensor but I have a part number 15A022. The ambient air sensor is behind the front bumper as is supposed to be the low temp one. If I have time this weekend I will remove the bumper for a proper look.

Phil 87 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I would have thought there would be no need for a separate low temp sensor if the standard temp sensor can be used, or maybe it's just added for extra safety in case the other one fails?

elanmac Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Big difference in price between the two sensors ambient sensor off eBay £5 low temp from dealers £71 couldn't find any anywhere else. Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in here it isn't. Shines 6 months non stop, very pesky to watch all the time. Changing spike tires in fall, gives enough indication that it is going to be slippery for a while :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elanmac Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Can anyone identify these switches /sensors? On bonnet locking catch. One might be the alarm but not both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
