Hi ive got a fiesta rs turbo and when its sat stood running for 2mins or so the temp guage more or less goes to the top! The car runs fine when started straight up and drove the temp stays normal also the heaters dont come reall warm do you think this is the headgasket or water pump maybe?

Wheredo you recomend buying and headgaskey/water pump from and if its the head gasket should i fit a steel one?

Thanks lpeet

 

it could be the thermostat or the fan i would check them first?

 

take ya stat out and check it might be playing around

 

bugger too slow!

 

ok ill try the stat do i just put in some boiling water and see if it opens?

 

yer could also run ya car without the stat see if she does the same with out the stat

 

ok sounds thanks for your help ill try it and get back on ere later!

Thanks lpeet

 

no probs dude that what this site is for

 

ive now changed the thermostat for a new 82degree one and all works fine now, i put the old one in some boiling water on the cooker lol and it took ages to open it didnt look to clever either, so a job well done!

 

great news fella always good when it a easy fix!
