54TDCi Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 hi guys, 54 reg focus 1.6tdci. this car has the manual gauge for reading temperature (60 - 120) but also has the digital self diagnostics in the self diagnostics it shows engine temperature at a higher value than the manual guage. i.e 115C compared to 75C is this normal ?

Nighthawk Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would say that the digital reading might be the engine (oil?) temperature where as the gauge being the coolant temperature.

IINexusII Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 115c is normal for operating temp of the engine, the engine temp sensor that is in the dash test mode is different from the coolant temp on the instrument cluster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 as above thats the head temperature which measures 40 degrees higher than the coolant temp shown on the gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
