anon Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Cruising on the continent at between 95 and110 MPH, it didn't take long for the temperature gauge to drop to the bottom of the dial. Back off and all was well again. Does the radiator airflow controller cover this or has mine packed up? Fiesta mk8 Titanium 125. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Sounds more like a thermostat problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 The shutters aren't fitted on all models, the thermostat should be able to regulate the temperature. The temperature display is also programmed not to move as much as the real coolant temp so drivers don't get worried about it moving. It only responds to big changes in temperature. If there is a problem with the shutters it should have logged a fault as they do a self check on every start, so might be worth seeing if Forscan finds anything.
