MondeoMarcus Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hi there, been thru a number of posts and also completed the test looking for codes, but all seems to be ok. My temperature indicator on the dash board stays at low 90% of the time and occasionally will go to half way (which I beleive is correct and where it should be all the time after warming up) but this is only for 2/3 minutes before it goes back down to cold. Any suggestions on what part might need replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 90 degrees is a good place to be, I wouldnt worry about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MondeoMarcus Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hey jeebowhite. Thanks for reply. My only concern is that it only stays there for a few minutes. The majority of the journey let's take today 30 miles in 1hr and it moved for like 2 minutes of that journey, the rest of the hour it was on cold and didn't move. Any suggestions.

jeebowhite Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Have you got the egr blanking plate on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MondeoMarcus Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hi Jeebowhite, so only had the car 2 weeks. Been through my Haynes and found Exhaust Gas Recircultion (erg) but it doesn't mention a blanking plate. Would this be something fitted or is it now programmed? Not sure where it would be fitted. She seems to run fine, just a little concerned that the fan kicks in when really it shouldn't need to at the moment as its so cold out. Also how does 260 miles sound for 39 litre's of fuel on said 2L automatic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
