Focus RS MK1 Cooling system
Ok we all know that the FRS didnt come with a temp gauge and some of us run a scangauge II to keep an eye on things and upon reading other threads from this forum and others that the normal behavior is 112 celcius the fans come on cools back down to 104 c...all good all checked fine and dandy hunky dory .. blah blah.
Now...my question / query .....if and when installing a mechanical water temp gauge with sender in correct place - and looking at temp gauges online the all range from 80 c to 120 so when installed on the FRS , unlike say my Focus T250 Zetec turbo or anyother standard focus or modified, the temp needle stays in the middle right? even when booting it etc etc .., wouldnt the needle always be moving about ? between the temps ...with an aftermarket mech temp gauge?
Reason I ask i - i just drove 6 miles in London traffic which took two hours but my fan came on when i pulled up - normal in this weather? sorry many questions lol
Mapper says its normal so im happy with that - WHERE exactly is the correct place for a temp gauge sender for correct reading? cheers guys
