Ford Focus 02 Reg Zetec - Temperature Gauge / Heating

[fluffy69]

Hi

I am having problems with my ford focus zetec, 02 plate 1.6

The temperature gauge seems to be playing up, sometimes I can be driving and the gauge is sitting in the middle and sometimes it sits in the white box , sometimes like its not working.

Yesterday I travelled from colchester to Peterborough, on the way the the dial was sitting in the middle, but on the way home last night it was hardly registering on the dial at all, sometimes in the white box and sometime just outside the white box, also if it was slightly up when I slowed down the dial would go right down, no sure if its related but I don't seem to get any heat out the blowers, all the way from Peterborough I got no heat.

Hope someone can help!!!!

Have you checked the coolant level?

No heat from the blower could indicate a cooling system fault.
