keyser_soze Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi all, if anyone can help with my problem I'd sure appreciate it. I have a 2003 Focus estate c-max, the problem is that it overheats when stationary, ie stuck in a traffic jam etc, usually takes 5 - 10 mins for this to happen but is OK when I get going again. My thoughts are it's the thermostat but want to be sure before I undertake any work. Thank you in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3lly Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 What's the temp like, does the needle shoot up straight away or after a few minutes of driving? Is the fan cutting in at all, what is the coolant like, does it have enough etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alz Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 yes i also think that it the cooling fan not cutting in, this could the sensor or even the fan its self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
