Stevep999 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Partners 2006 2.0 petrol S-max has very little heat from ventilation system. Is this likely to be a faulty thermostat om engine ? And if so how easy to fix ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanfp Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 What is the temp gauge showing after say ten miles? Is it up to the middle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevep999 Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 no, that only moves when stationary...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 It would seem that you need a new cooling system thermostat. Not normally a major job but I've never worked on an S-Max 2.0 petrol. @TomsFocus would probably have an idea of how easy it is to change.

TomsFocus Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Not sure what access is like on the S-Max but on 2.0 HE petrol engine the thermostat is just behind the aux belt, under the power steering pump/reservoir. Bit fiddly to remove but not actually difficult. On the smaller models I'd suggest removing the headlight for better access but that may or not help on the S-Max. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
