Thanks for this but they should have just put in a normal gauge - just blew a head gasket on my Fiesta that is costing a small fortune and it would have not happened had it been for a gauge . The car does not even warn you to say it's running hot and I always assumed it would.
There is an engine temperature warning light (two to the left of the gear change indicator in the video), but normally by the time it's come on it's too late
Considering that a main ""cause of death"" for Ford EU cars is a overheated engine causing head gasket failure, I am shocked that an Engine Temp gauge or indicator on the display is not standard. Thanks for the vid mate!! Just bought a 2012 Fiesta for my daughter, after she killed my mint 2014 Galaxy by driving it while there was a coolant leak even though I told her not to. (my garage was overbooked and asked to park the car for 2 days, and then bring it in for inspection and fix)
Thanks for this! Just got a Fiesta MK6 and this is very useful for just making sure that all of the dials and lights are functional👌 No clue what all of the other codes mean though, there's like thirty of them 😅
Thanks for the video! it is great to know. I also have a problem, my heater gets ward mut never hot even on Highest temp. it is an auto air conditioner. also sometimes, I hear some plastic moving around in the middle of the dash, like a plastic door trying to open/close but barely does
Hi I have ford fiesta 2010 model jist worried if my radiator coolant fan is working or not ..i turned on my engine and checked its not turning on any idea how can i check that?
My fan kept kicking in going limp losing power but noticed getting real hot didnt know even had one but thermostat gone engine oil reading -40 (once plugged in ) but wish i see this before i took down garage (dont think it will make it bk home ) ive fiesta edge 2011
What is the maximum temperature allowed? I live in tropical country and on traffic jam it raised fast. 15 minutes 10 degrees celcius. I really afraid to use this car on rush hour
I have ford Fiesta 2010 Titanium with button start, only had car for a month now ive recently passed, I hear a ticking sound from engine only when outside car, inside i cant hear anything, also once i start driving for 15mins the noise is gone. should i be worrried... also what coolant should i use? thank you.
really useful tip thankyou, i have an ongoing problem in my 2012 edge whereby the coolant expansion tank swells when car is stationary and actually failed an MOT due to this, (dangerous?) I'm still non the wiser as the chap said that the head gasket was fine, I even replaced tank pressure cap but coolant stays in the tank and is not circulating as it should. Anyway, i will be able to keep an eye on the temps now- and really frighten myself! Many thanks
@@CFCARREPAIRSa few weeks ago I had the water pump replaced along with the timing belt, and even had a new catalytic converter fitted due to high CO emissions, so it must, as you say, be an airlock somewhere, or a problematic hose. I guess it's just a case of draining off the coolant and refilling but i cannot find the coolant drain valve anywhere- I love your videos, very down to earth and helpful-top man.
So have to do procedure every single time engine/ignition turned on or off? Won't keep it showing ........what a complete faff and stupid idea! I just got a MK7 fiesta was hoping a way keep it up every time key turned.
@@CFCARREPAIRS come from years old VW GTI's, recently got a 2012 MK7 fiesta S1600 first ever owned performance Fiesta hatch (driven XR2I's just never owned as went VW). Just seems mad idea as won't know Fiesta/Ford's overheating till overheating and damage done without a gauge.
@@paulmuff9883 from what I have read that's too late by time it comes on Ford set high so damage done head gasket warped & head warped. Don't know why they can't have gauge. All a warning light will do is tell you engine screwed
How it that possible? My MK7 have temperature display. Its right below the mileage counter, after start the car. i.postimg.cc/rshjK3KZ/IMG-20230327-134853.jpg
Brilliant ....thank you....and great to here a proper Black Country accent....I've been away too long...

Without a warning temperature gauge, this vehicle is not worthy buying!!!
There is an engine temperature warning light (two to the left of the gear change indicator in the video), but normally by the time it's come on it's too late
Big help! Thank you, I've been wondering about this.

It sucks you cant see it by default as you drive. Its very inconvenient to push that button 100times everytime you start the engine
I totally agree it is a bad design from Ford
So the temp disay wont stay on the dash

A MK6 Fiesta is the previous model from 2005-2008
It worked , thank you very much.
You ve just got a new subscriber .
Nice video keep it up m8

Your issue is the blend actuator do a Google/eBay/UA-cam search, it’s a common issue on mk7 fiestas
Fantastic 👍 I was going to fit a temp gauge 👍👍👍👍
Hi, very helpful :)
Did you know what's mean red dot in the center and 2-3 sec continuous beep when i turned the key on the second position?
There could be a door open or lack of fuel maybe?
I think it’s the car alarm deactivating my fiesta flashes in the middle when it’s locked and a few seconds after turning it on
Immobiliser detection. If key doesn’t have a chip inside red dot behaves in a different way
did not know about this thanks
Amazing. Thanks. Question: do Ford Fiestas have overheating issues?
great video m8
Thank you bro
Thanks m8 it good to now
Very useful, thank you !
does it remain activated and can be accessed from the menu or after turning off do I have to enter the test again?
Hi I have ford fiesta 2010 model jist worried if my radiator coolant fan is working or not ..i turned on my engine and checked its not turning on any idea how can i check that?
If you have air conditioning, switch it on and see if the fan goes round
My fan kept kicking in going limp losing power but noticed getting real hot didnt know even had one but thermostat gone engine oil reading -40 (once plugged in ) but wish i see this before i took down garage (dont think it will make it bk home ) ive fiesta edge 2011
Good info need to know how to turn off traction control next I can’t do it on the radio it’s not that model
Hey do you know what the yellow exclamation mark mean,
Cool video could you show us a video on how to fix a heater vent selector fix as mine is stuck on front blowing?
Yes. Same with our 2008 model.
Is there no solution to this? Is there no way to drive a device additionally via OBD?
What is the maximum temperature allowed? I live in tropical country and on traffic jam it raised fast. 15 minutes 10 degrees celcius. I really afraid to use this car on rush hour
The thermostat opens up about 105 to 107 Celsius don't let it get hotter or you will Damage the head
@@CFCARREPAIRS thank you very much sir
thank you
How do I turn that setting off,I turned the engine off and it don't seem to be coming of that test settingm

Maybe thick oil is making the valves a bit noisy untill it gets warmed up
Can't it be taken to the Home screen with the program?

If it's not circulating look out for the water pump or a blockage or air lock

Just pull the hours off the Bottom of the radiator m8 I have not seen a Drain plug myself on my one
@@CFCARREPAIRS CF, I really need to keep this car on the road and you have helped me out, I really appreciate it. Thankyou.
Does it work in a 2008 model? As we do not have the temperature gauge in the dash either.
Not sure m8
So is this a coolant temp and not an oil temp?
Yes m8
@@CFCARREPAIRS okay cheers any temp is better than none I suppose cheers
@@CFCARREPAIRS what’s temps should it not exceed?
Anyone know what temp is to high just so I know I have a sport stage 1 remap and different exhaust
Very useful video. Not so useful from ford...obsurd as to why they dont have gauge on there. Even vauxhall dont have temperature gauge...
👍👍👍
Ok what is the right temperature it should be
Hi does it stay or not ?
Cheers bud

The way I just tried this and the car went into engine malfunction 😂😂
How do you turn it off 😢 😌
Turn the Ignition off
@@CFCARREPAIRS 👑 🏆 thanks
I have a request, could you describe how to turn it on step by step?
That really bad in fiesta
How it that possible? My MK7 have temperature display. Its right below the mileage counter, after start the car.
