New ST170 owner, possible thermostat issue?
Evening all!
Picked up my Imperial Blue Focus ST170 this morning, and after driving a big Saab 9-3 for a year, I love it! Handles brilliantly, looks good and the engine feels more powerful than the stats and reviews make out...more usable power lower down the rev range compared to my old Clio 182 (although that was a lot faster overall), so I'm happy.
However, something I've noticed;
- Engine temp gauge takes a while to get up to the middle, and tends to drop off a little occasionally, and drop off a lot when the heaters are on full to de-mist. Seem to get warm air out the heaters fairly quick so wasn't sure if it was just a sensitive gauge or maybe something was up?
