Focus65 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Any had one of these engines just wondering how long/miles the temperature gauge takes to get to middle (normal temperature) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 There's lot of people on here that have broken 1.0 Ecoboost engines. Many of them got very hot just a minute or two before the engine became scrap. How long is a piece of string ? Depends on the weather, your driving style, is the heater on, are you stuck in a traffic jam ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcaouolte Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 In the summer it can reach the middle in a couple of miles. In winter it takes longer, especially when the engine is not working hard. At idle the temperature gauge barely increases. I had to do a 15 mile journey the other day at 30mph maximum speed (heavy traffic), the temperature gauge only reached a quarter. In normal winter A road driving it probably takes 6 miles to reach half way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focus65 Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Just a update to help others the car started now & again to majorly overcool , at times wouldn’t reach the 1/4 after 25 miles other times it was fine & sometimes fluctuating downwards , but slow to get to temperature , so had it plugged in at a garage I’ve used for years & he run it up from cold & found it not getting to temperature on live data , it was the thermostat stuck slightly open all the time & sometimes fully open , his plan was was to change the sensor too but opted against it as he said it had been changed recently, So by looks of it a garage had already tried to solve the problem , now at 0 outside temp the car gets to operating temperature within 4 miles , In my opinion I was convinced it was the sensor with the fluctuation I didn’t think a faulty thermostat could do that , hope this helps someone with same problem at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
