agentil Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hi all, I think I have a problem on my last acquisition, a Ford Focus MK2 (2206) 1.8 petrol Duratec HE 125hp. The temperature gauge rarely get off of 60 "degrees C". I check that sometimes it increases a little but never reaches the first step and it comes again to 60 degrees. I found on the web a similar speedometer that explains the behaviour of my car (note: is not from my car): Based on my other cars, usually the temperature gauge goes to the middle. So I think that should not be the default behaviour of the Focus. The coolant is ok, the engine also seems to work weel. What do you think that the problem is? Thanks for your help. Cheers.

I was thinking that could be a problem on temperature sensor but after reading more about thermostat stuck open I check that a symptom was the ventilation hot temperature is not so hot as suppose to be. I realised last weekend when turned on the ventilation. Thanks for your help! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
