i would guess so, but even it its a different size, as long as you can securly fit it on the fiesta it will be fine to use 8-)

iirc(going by a brief look at my cousins escort engine bay) one of the temp sensors i think the fan switch one is mounted on the coolant pipe that goes towards the thermostat, so that might be an issue as the fez has its mounted at the drivers side of the rad

worth some investigation

this may sound dumb (never stopped me before and its not gona stop me now :lol:

) but could i not fit a temp sender into the 'scort rad, either 1 from the 'scort or a new FSI one?

you could do, but i'm not 100% if the 'scot rad is the same as the fsi one, it might have like a blanking plug or such like

check the 'scrt one, get some pic's too

The other day i made my fez one fit my escort but it was hard.

Escort bottom hose points to the side rather than too the engine and mounts totally different. Bit of bodge and make fit and it will work,
