John Plumtree Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 When the car gets to running temperature and i am stuck in traffic the fan turns on but the temperature gauge stays in the same position(in center).Does the focus have 2 speeds for the fan and the slow speed keeps the gauge in th center.2001 1.8tddi and it has a/c.

artscot79 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 the ac fan has 2 speeds since its not warm right now and diesels run cooka it sounds like either the coolants low or the fan temperature switch is faulty or the thermostats stuck.

John Plumtree Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 where abouts is the temperature switch please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The temp gauge on the mk1 is very vague, so I would be very surprised if it did move tbh. Is the diesel the same as the petrols, where there is no coolant sensors? The ecu measure cylinder head temp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Plumtree Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 would it come on if the coolant was low?the coolant was on min so topped up and its not come on since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 yeah if the coolants low it will come on coolant should sit between min and max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I cant see how it would come on with low coolant unless it caused it to overheat? how is it going to detect low coolant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
