take your inlet pipes of from intercooler and i bet theres oil in there, it mite have been the oil getting hot inside.

yeah i did do there was a really tiny bit in there as in virtually nothing...


only thing i can think of is coz the fan is on a switch (it wasnt turned on at the time) temp went above the "o" were it normally runs so i am guessing it is coz it got hot??

would that make sense?? also didnt have heater turned on in car??

dont know what temp a 1.8 zetec t3 fiesta rs turbo should run at anyway???

As said could of been a bit of standing oil that got hot in inlet pipe, wouldn't worry unless it keeps happening.

As for temps anything over the N is a prob.
