theredfox Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 do you use the aircon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee3011 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 No why? Heaters blow hot inside the car, rad and all hoses are hot to touch and I've done the needle sweep and there ok If I let i idle it will creep up towards the middle line but starts to drop back to the first mark when driving. Just wondering if it could be the temp sensor as it struggles to start once warm Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 dont worry. If the car only gets to 60 that can be as much a good thing as its being efficient. Is the fan on all the time? or is it just running cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee3011 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 No fan isn't on but I've changed the stat and it's fine now but I have another problem that when the engine is warm it struggles to start I have bought a new temp sensor but I can't find it on the engine anywhere Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
