MooseFocus Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 2005 1.6 petrol Ghia Hi people, I've had the car for a little over 2 months now and I'm trying to sort a few little niggles out. Firstly the heat from the car is not great, I'd expect it to be a lot warmer. Secondly the temp gauge needle don't move at all Thirdly the fan control only works on 3 and 4 I'm assuming these are all related, can any of you put me onto some kind of fix please? Preferably nothing too technical as I'm not very competent on the spanners with modern cars TIA Moose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 First problem sounds like thermostat is stuck open second problem is the blower motor resistor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseFocus Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Are there any how to's available for a fix that you're aware of please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McGuire Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I can help with the second problem. You need to buy another Heater resistor pack for the Focus. To replace it you need to remove the glove box (not my video): this shows where it is located, unplug it, two screws to un screw, then pull it out and pop the new one in.

stef123 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just done a resistor on a focus the other day. Very easy job, just access to reach in is a bit of a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 121858955691 Type that item number into eBay, that's the very resistor I was supplied to fit the other day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseFocus Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's for 2006, is that not the mk 2.5? Are they the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's for a mk2, I fitted it to a 2005 mk2. I think he has loads of them listed with different titles to catch as many punters but the part is still the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseFocus Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's the resistor issue sorted. Does anyone have a link to the correct thermostat please? There's still the issue of my temp gauge not working. Possible temp sensor unit? Anyone else had an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Fix the thetmostat will probably be the issue why temp gauge not registering if engine not getting warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
