F.A.O FRST Owners Running ZETEC Turbo, Cooling advice needed
basically engine is getting a little too hot for my liking & want some advice as to make it run cooler!
got the usual
Standard FRST bonnet
Alloy rad,front mounted intercooler,good quality antifreeze & a 10" kenlowe fan,but stills runs too hot for my liking when slow moving in traffic,ok once on open road no problems
car is running full 16V 2.1 Zetec turbo,standard zetec thermostat & housing?
just want to know if other owners have simuliar problems & how they solved then
Cheers in advanced

You want to use a Rover 220 turbo thermostat.
Its rated at 78 deg
Also drill out the bleed tap on the new thermostat a little as this will help matters further.
